AI Training Act
Latest action (11 May 2022): Ordered to be Reported (Amended) by Voice Vote.
What this bill does
The AI Training Act would direct the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, working with the General Services Administration and other relevant parties, to develop and implement an artificial intelligence training program for certain federal employees within one year of enactment, with updates at least every two years. The training would cover the basics of how AI works, its potential benefits to government, associated risks such as discrimination and privacy concerns, ways to mitigate those risks, and future trends in AI. The bill encourages interactive learning involving outside technologists, scholars, and experts, and requires OMB to track participation and gather feedback. The provision would expire automatically ten years after enactment.
The program would apply to federal civilian employees in roles such as program management, systems research and testing, procurement, logistics, and cost estimating, as well as other staff an agency head chooses to include. It explicitly excludes the Department of Defense and the National Nuclear Security Administration, meaning it targets the broader civilian acquisition workforce rather than defense-related personnel.
The bill was introduced in the House on May 6, 2022, by Rep. Carolyn Maloney, referred to the Committee on Oversight and Reform, and ordered to be reported as amended by voice vote on May 11, 2022. According to the official CRS summary, its provisions were later incorporated into other legislation that was ultimately enacted, so this specific bill did not become law on its own.
