The Select Committee on Emerging Technologies and Innovation will hold informational hearings throughout the State to develop a better understanding of emerging technologies and their potential for transforming the economy and society. Specifically, the committee's work will focus on identifying exciting early-stage technologies, understanding their market potential, the impact on legal and regulatory frameworks, and the social implications of future technologies on the public. The goal is to gather fact-based information and insight about important technological developments from leading academic, industry, and government stakeholders, among others, that will help policymakers develop appropriate strategies and responses, where necessary.
