The House Energy & Commerce Committee is preparing for a hearing scheduled for Wednesday, focusing on the future of artificial intelligence (AI) technology and the United States' competitiveness in this vital field.
Matt Schruers, President and CEO of the Computer & Communications Industry Association, commented on the significance of the event: “We appreciate House leaders’ focus on building up energy and data infrastructure and computing capabilities to sustain domestic technology advances.” He emphasized the importance of remaining competitive internationally, citing a recent announcement by DeepSeek on AI innovations as a reminder of the global race for technology leadership.
“Success in this global competition to lead on AI innovation requires this infrastructure and directly impacts both the U.S. economy and national security,” Schruers added.
The hearing reflects growing attention to the role of AI in maintaining the United States' competitive edge and the accompanying need for robust infrastructure to support technological progress.
