North Dakota lawmakers on June 25 announced a new interim committee that will study data centers and artificial intelligence ahead of the 2027 legislative session.
Senate Majority Leader David Hogue, R-Minot, said the goal is to equip legislators with more expertise so they are better prepared to make policy decisions related to rapidly changing technology.
