Congressmen Brett Guthrie and Morgan Griffith have announced a hearing to explore the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in the U.S. healthcare system. The event, titled “Examining Opportunities to Advance American Health Care through the Use of Artificial Intelligence Technologies,” is scheduled for September 3, 2025, at 10:15 AM ET in the Rayburn House Office Building. It will be open to both the public and press and will also be available via livestream on energycommerce.house.gov.
Guthrie, Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, along with Griffith, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Health, emphasized AI’s potential in healthcare. They said that AI could enhance care delivery, strengthen provider-patient relationships, reduce administrative burdens for clinicians, and empower patients.
Andrew M. Ibrahim, Chief Clinical Officer at Viz.ai, is set to testify at the hearing. Viz.ai’s platform is an example of AI’s practical application in healthcare. The platform is FDA-cleared and CMS-reimbursed and is currently used in over 1,800 hospitals across the United States. According to Ibrahim, “AI in healthcare is not hype.” He noted that their technology has been effective in reducing treatment times for conditions like stroke and pulmonary embolism.
Ibrahim also highlighted that Congress can play a role in accelerating AI adoption by creating efficient FDA pathways and ensuring data interoperability. This would help ensure that all patients benefit from AI advancements.
