Ordered to be Reported in the Nature of a Substitute (Amended) by the Yeas and Nays: 39 - 2.
This bill expands a federal AI training program that was previously limited to government acquisition workers to now include a much broader workforce across the executive branch. The expansion covers employees in data and technology positions, management officials, and supervisors in federal agencies, in addition to the original acquisition workforce. The training program must cover AI fundamentals, technological features, benefits and risks to the government, the role of data in AI systems, risk mitigation strategies, and best practices for developing and deploying AI systems. The bill allows agencies to incorporate this AI training into existing training programs where appropriate and requires them to gather feedback from participants to improve the program. The legislation does not specify dedicated funding amounts or implementation timelines beyond requiring these training programs to be established and maintained by federal agencies.
