📡 Florida AI Week: Florida House Sets December 8 Deep Dive Into Artificial Intelligence

NewBits Digest feature image for article on Florida AI Week, highlighting Florida House hearings on AI’s impact on education, business, and public safety.

A statewide deep dive into the future of artificial intelligence


Florida lawmakers are preparing for a comprehensive review of artificial intelligence as the technology continues reshaping education, business, and public safety. House Speaker Daniel Perez has officially designated the week of December 8 as “Artificial Intelligence Week” in the Florida House, where committees will explore AI’s benefits, risks, and long-term implications ahead of the 2026 legislative session.


💡 Florida AI Week: Why It’s Important


AI is accelerating faster than any previous technology—and policymakers are racing to catch up. Perez noted that AI holds the potential to create “new economic vistas,” yet it also presents real risks to education systems, emotional health, and digital safety. Understanding AI now will help Florida avoid the unintended long-term consequences seen with social media.
