David Hogue announced the formation of an interim Artificial Intelligence and Data Center Committee, expressing enthusiasm about the initiative.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The committee aims to address AI&#8217;s growing influence on job application, loan approval, medical treatment, education, and national security, which has prompted widespread legislative activity across states.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>With more than 1,500 AI-related bills introduced in 45 states and over 145 enacted at the federal level in 2025, state legislators are trying to keep up with AI&#8217;s rapid developments.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>AI and data centers create economic opportunities while presenting infrastructure challenges; the committee will focus on gathering information and reviewing regulations about AI and data centers.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The interim committee will also consider AI harm protections, especially for children, and examine the economic and environmental impacts of data center placements, including water and electric consumption effects. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The committee comprises 10 legislators and two non-legislative experts, led by Chair Rep. Johnathan Warrey and Vice Chair Sen. Kyle Davison, and plans to meet several times to compile a report and draft bills for the November Legislative Management submission.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artificial Intelligence and Data Center Committee to prepare North Dakota legislators for 2027 session &#8211;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":237382,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cdn.forumcomm.com\/dims4\/default\/2d325a7\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/4834x3223+0+0\/resize\/1599x1066!\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforum-communications-production-web.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com%2Fbrightspot%2F06%2F15%2Fe97f908f4adc8669a5f5422feb4e%2F0a0626626-n-ff-committeeannouncement.JPG","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-237381","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237381"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=237381"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237381\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":237383,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237381\/revisions\/237383"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/237382"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=237381"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=237381"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=237381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
