The LIFT AI Act directs the National Science Foundation to award grants to colleges, universities, and nonprofit organizations for developing artificial intelligence education programs in elementary and secondary schools. The grants would support creating AI curricula, training teachers in AI concepts, developing assessment tools, and designing hands-on learning experiences that help students understand how to use and create AI technology responsibly. The legislation targets K-12 educators and students across the country, aiming to build a workforce prepared for an AI-driven future and maintain U.S. competitiveness globally. While the bill text does not specify a total funding amount or implementation timeline, it authorizes the Director of the National Science Foundation to distribute these awards on a competitive, merit-reviewed basis through new or existing programs.
