Legislative Progress
Key Points
- Congress would require federal agencies to report on how artificial intelligence is changing jobs, including which workers and communities may be hit hardest.
- It would create Education Department grants to expand tech learning in schools, including teacher training, learning materials, broadband access, and student supports.
- It would create Labor Department grants for job training for workers likely to be affected by AI, including people recently laid off who qualify for unemployment insurance.
- The bill authorizes $160 million for school-focused grants and $90 million for worker training grants for fiscal year 2026.
- Grantees would have to report results (like how many people were served), and the federal government would report back to Congress on whether to expand the programs.
