WASHINGTON, Nov. 25, 2025 – Representative Erin Houchin of Indiana’s Ninth District will kick off Broadband Breakfast Live Online on Wednesday, November 26, at 12 Noon ET, with keynote remarks about artificial intelligence and its implications for America's youth.
Houchin, a Republican, will address critical questions about how artificial intelligence is increasingly shaping how children learn, play, and grow.
The panel, titled "The State of AI: What It Means for Kids," brings together policymakers and experts to examine AI's rapidly evolving role in children's education, safety, and development.
From lesson plans that adapt to a student’s pace to chatbots that help with homework, artificial intelligence is moving from the background of education technology to its center stage. This discussion will explore how AI is redefining education and childhood in the digital age - and what it means for the next generation’s development, creativity, and safety.
