The House Resolution urges the Legislative Youth Advisory Council to engage in discussions regarding the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) on young people in Louisiana. Established under R.S. 24:973.1, the council consists of high school students who are tasked with identifying youth concerns and advising the legislature on relevant issues. Given the increasing focus on AI legislation and its potential impact on youth safety, the resolution emphasizes the importance of incorporating the perspectives of young people into these discussions.
The resolution encourages the council to explore various topics related to AI, including educational initiatives for students, parents, guardians, and youth-serving professionals. It also suggests that the council seek input from experts in the field, such as representatives from the attorney general's office, law enforcement, the state Department of Education, and the Louisiana Center for Safe Schools. Ultimately, the council is expected to summarize its findings and discussions for the Commission on Civic Education and the legislature, ensuring that the voices of young people are considered in future legislative actions concerning AI.
