El comisionado residente, quien ser\u00e1 el orador invitado en los actos conmemorativos del 25 de julio en Mayag\u00fcez, anticip\u00f3 que incluir\u00e1 el tema de la IA en su discurso sobre el futuro del autonomismo puertorrique\u00f1o, aunque este no ser\u00e1 su principal enfoque.\n\n\"Puerto Rico no puede ser un espectador pasivo en la revoluci\u00f3n tecnol\u00f3gica que ya est\u00e1 transformando al mundo. La IA abrir\u00e1 la puerta a profesiones que hoy ni siquiera imaginamos, como ocurri\u00f3 cuando las redes sociales crearon carreras de \u201cinfluencers\u201d y creadores de contenido digital. Adem\u00e1s, ya est\u00e1 aumentando nuestra productividad y haci\u00e9ndole la vida m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil a muchas peque\u00f1as y medianas empresas\u201d, afirm\u00f3 Hern\u00e1ndez Rivera.\n\nDurante el encuentro, uno de los temas centrales fue el impacto de la IA en la industria energ\u00e9tica. \u201cLa inteligencia artificial consume enormes cantidades de electricidad y, por necesidad, impulsar\u00e1 la creaci\u00f3n de nuevas tecnolog\u00edas energ\u00e9ticas, especialmente renovables como la solar. Esto puede integrarse de forma estrat\u00e9gica en la reconstrucci\u00f3n de nuestra infraestructura el\u00e9ctrica, creando una abundancia energ\u00e9tica que finalmente ayude a estabilizar los costos de la luz en Puerto Rico\u201d, se\u00f1al\u00f3.\n\nOtro punto importante de la conversaci\u00f3n fue el efecto de la IA sobre la cultura y las artes. \u201cComo puertorrique\u00f1o, expres\u00e9 preocupaci\u00f3n por nuestra clase art\u00edstica. \u00bfC\u00f3mo competir\u00e1n nuestros m\u00fasicos, escritores y creadores si una m\u00e1quina puede imitar su estilo y producir arte casi id\u00e9ntico de manera m\u00e1s barata y accesible? Hablamos de la necesidad de proteger la remuneraci\u00f3n y el valor de la experiencia humana detr\u00e1s del arte. Cuando se pide a la gente que elija entre una obra creada por IA y otra creada por un humano, muchas veces, sin saberlo, prefieren la generada por la m\u00e1quina. Sin embargo, cuando descubren que la obra es artificial, cambian de opini\u00f3n y valoran m\u00e1s la humana. Tal vez sea porque el arte no es solo el producto final, sino tambi\u00e9n la historia del autor, su vida, sus influencias, su humanidad. Y quiz\u00e1s esa dimensi\u00f3n emocional sea lo que mantenga vivo el arte humano frente a la IA\u201d, explic\u00f3.\n\nLa reuni\u00f3n tambi\u00e9n abord\u00f3 las posibilidades de la inteligencia artificial en la salud. \u201cSe proyecta que la IA acelerar\u00e1 avances m\u00e9dicos que normalmente tardar\u00edan diez a\u00f1os en solo uno. Para un pueblo con tantas personas con condiciones cr\u00f3nicas, esto no es ciencia ficci\u00f3n: es una esperanza real\u201d, afirm\u00f3 Hern\u00e1ndez Rivera.\n\n###\n\nRep. Hern\u00e1ndez meets with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to discuss the impact of artificial intelligence on employment, energy, the arts, and healthcare\n\nWASHINGTON, DC \u2014Today, Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico, Pablo Jos\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez, joined approximately 20 fellow Members of Congress in a meeting with Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, to discuss the challenges and opportunities presented by artificial intelligence (AI).\n\nAfter the meeting, Hern\u00e1ndez shared some reflections on the discussion and the impact AI will have on employment, energy, the arts, and healthcare, especially in Puerto Rico. The Resident Commissioner, who is scheduled to be the keynote speaker at the July 25th commemorative events in Mayag\u00fcez, indicated that he plans to address the topic of AI in his upcoming speech on the future of Puerto Rican autonomism, though it will not be his primary focus.\n\nOn employment:\n\n\"Puerto Rico cannot be a passive bystander in the technological revolution that is already transforming the world. AI will eliminate certain jobs, particularly in repetitive fields like customer service, but it will also create new professions we can\u2019t even imagine yet\u2014just as social media gave rise to influencers and digital content creators. Moreover, it\u2019s already boosting productivity and making life easier for many small and mid-sized businesses.\"\n\nOn the energy industry:\n\n\u201cArtificial intelligence consumes enormous amounts of electricity and will, out of necessity, drive the development of new energy technologies\u2014especially renewable sources like solar. This can be strategically integrated into the reconstruction of our electrical grid, potentially creating energy abundance that finally helps stabilize electricity costs in Puerto Rico\u201d\n\nOn arts and culture:\n\n\u201cAs a Puerto Rican, I voiced concerns about our artistic community. How will our musicians, writers, and creators compete if a machine can imitate their style and produce nearly identical art more cheaply and accessibly? We discussed the need to protect the compensation and value of the human experience behind art. When people are asked to choose between an AI-generated work and a human-made one, many unknowingly prefer the machine\u2019s version. But when they learn it\u2019s artificial, they often change their minds and value human work more. Maybe that\u2019s because art is not just about the final product, but also about the creator\u2019s story, their life, their influences, their humanity. And perhaps that emotional dimension is what will keep human art alive in the age of AI.\u201d\n\nOn healthcare:\n\n\u201cIt\u2019s projected that AI will accelerate medical breakthroughs that would normally take ten years down to just one. For people with so many chronic health conditions, this is not science fiction, it\u2019s real hope.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T14:40:33Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://hernandez.house.gov/media/press-releases/pablo-jose-hernandez-rivera-dialoga-con-sam-altman-ceo-de-openai-sobre-el"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6041002236306667, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
