COM. REP. NO. 2169
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2023
RE: S.C.R. No. 179
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2023
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Higher Education & Technology, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 179 entitled:
"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING CONGRESS TO BEGIN A DISCUSSION CONSIDERING THE BENEFITS AND RISKS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGIES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from one individual.
Your Committee finds that artificial intelligence has the potential to revolutionize the way individuals live, work, and interact with each other. Rapid advancements in artificial intelligence technology mean machines are becoming smarter and more autonomous. Potential dangers of artificial intelligence include the potential loss of jobs due to automation, the risk of bias and discrimination being perpetuated based on programming decisions, privacy and security concerns, and the risk of unintended consequences. Your Committee further finds that it would be prudent for Congress to begin an analysis of the risks and benefits associated with artificial intelligence technology and its use in the public sector.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Higher Education & Technology that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 179 and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Higher Education & Technology,
