This bill addresses workforce preparation for an artificial intelligence-driven economy by establishing reporting requirements and education programs. The Labor Department, National Science Foundation, and Education Department must jointly produce reports within one year and again at the two-year mark analyzing AI's impact on jobs, identifying which workers face displacement, and recommending how to equip the workforce with necessary technology skills. The legislation authorizes $160 million in grants through fiscal year 2029 for schools to expand access to computer science and technology education from pre-kindergarten through high school, with particular focus on underserved students in low-income and rural areas. It also authorizes $90 million in Department of Labor grants to help workers already employed in industries most affected by AI automation to upskill and retrain. The bill requires grant recipients to track and report progress, disaggregated by demographic groups, to measure whether these programs effectively close technology education gaps and prepare workers for emerging industries.
