Senator Sarah Keyeski has received official notice of her appointment as a member of the Joint Legislative Council Study Committee on the Use of Artificial Intelligence.
The committee’s work will focus on the application of AI technology within the health care sector. Members are tasked with studying the use of AI in interactions between patients and providers, patients and insurers or Medicaid programs, and providers and insurers or Medicaid programs.
The committee consists of 16 members, including 12 professionals with experience in health care or artificial intelligence, and four state legislators. Senator Rachael Cabral-Guevera will serve as Chair, Representative Adam Neylon will serve as Vice Chair, and Representative Mike Bare as a committee member, alongside Senator Keyeski.
In response to the appointment, Senator Keyeski highlighted the rising importance of artificial intelligence in daily life. She emphasized that safety, accuracy, efficiency, and reliability remain paramount in health care. Expressing her honor at serving on the committee, Senator Keyeski noted the opportunity to thoroughly examine how artificial intelligence affects patients, providers, and insurance programs in Wisconsin. She looks forward to these meetings as a chance to discuss timely issues and potentially develop legislation to establish standards for AI use in health care.
The Wisconsin Joint Legislative Council is a 22-member statutory committee that establishes interim study committees to research major public policy issues and develop legislation. The council recently announced its 2025-2027 study committees, which include the Study Committee on Cryptocurrency, the Study Committee on Laws to Restore Floodplains, and the Study Committee on Cemeteries.
These study committees are made up of both lawmakers and citizen experts, and they are staffed by nonpartisan Legislative Council attorneys who provide expert testimony and research. The committees meet throughout the legislative interim to evaluate these problems, build consensus, and draft proposed legislation to be introduced in the next legislative session
