JEFFERSON CITY – The Missouri Future Caucus will convene its third meeting in the State Capitol on February 4, at 4 pm, House Hearing Room 1, first floor of the House side of Capitol building, 201 West Capitol Avenue, Jefferson City, MO 65101.
This third meeting of the Future Caucus will be a part 2 of the Caucus meeting on AI held in November 2025. Now that AI bills have been introduced with more to come, the future of AI policy in Missouri is taking shape. AI may offer tremendous advantages to public and private organizations operating across multiple economies of Missouri. However, there continues to be much risk both from AI deployment and infrastructure build-out.
The Future Caucus is holding this meeting to better equip House standing committees with details and recommendations on effective legislation and budget considerations that will result in a better AI-equipped Missouri.
Top-line questions the Caucus could reflect on include:
- what can state agencies do to better facilitate secure AI adoption?
- How can Missouri’s industries help attract advanced and secure AI opportunities?
- If the state were to welcome additional AI capacity and AI-focused industries, what should Missouri put in place to ensure AI is approached from a lifecycle strategy with transparent and proportionate rules to ensure AI is not used for scaled disruptions?
