Congressman Brett Guthrie, Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, and Congressman John Joyce, M.D., Chairman of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, have announced an upcoming hearing focused on artificial intelligence chatbots. The hearing is titled "Innovation with Integrity: Examining the Risks and Benefits of AI Chatbots."
In a joint statement, Chairmen Guthrie and Joyce said, “The rapid advancement of AI holds tremendous promise for the future, but recent stories about AI chatbots’ interactions with users have raised serious concerns about the potential impact of chatbot use on the health and wellbeing of those who engage with these platforms. While some AI chatbot providers have taken steps to address these concerns, additional oversight is needed to better understand risks to users when interacting with these technologies. This hearing will allow the Committee to examine the risks, what safeguards are in place, and how to ensure users—especially children and teens—can stay safe while using chatbots. We must continue working to facilitate AI innovation and global leadership in new technologies while also guarding against compromises to the safety and wellbeing of online users.”
The Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations will hold this hearing on Tuesday, November 18, 2025 at 2:00 PM ET in Room 2123 of the Rayburn House Office Building. The session will be open to both the public and press. A livestream will be available at energycommerce.house.gov.
