Boosts training and job opportunities for Americans in safe artificial intelligence development.

This bill would create new training programs and job frameworks for people working on artificial intelligence. It aims to help develop safe and reliable AI systems by supporting students and researchers from many different fields. It would also help define careers in managing AI risks.

What Would Change

Today, there are general frameworks for AI research, but no specific programs for interdisciplinary AI workforce development or a comprehensive AI job framework. After this bill, the National Science Foundation would offer new fellowships for students and researchers from various fields to work on trustworthy AI. The National Institute of Standards and Technology would also create a detailed framework for AI jobs and support careers focused on managing AI risks.

Key Provisions

Requires the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to create a public framework for artificial intelligence jobs, outlining roles and needed skills.
Allows NIST to help industries, governments, and schools use workforce frameworks for critical and emerging technologies and other STEM fields to boost training.
Allows the National Science Foundation (NSF) to offer new fellowships for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers studying trustworthy artificial intelligence, including those from social sciences and humanities.
Directs NIST to support education and training for careers focused on managing artificial intelligence risks, like testing and evaluation.
Encourages the National Science Foundation to use artificial intelligence to speed up scientific discoveries across all STEM fields, offering training and workshops.
