AI Training Expansion Act of 2023
Latest action (12 Jul 2023): Ordered to be Reported in the Nature of a Substitute (Amended) by the Yeas and Nays: 39 - 2.
What this bill does
H.R. 4503, the AI Training Expansion Act of 2023, would amend the existing Artificial Intelligence Training for the Acquisition Workforce Act to broaden the federal government's AI training requirements. The bill expands the list of federal employees who must receive AI training beyond acquisition personnel to also include management officials, supervisors, and employees in "data or technology positions" (defined as roles in the Mathematical Sciences or Information Technology occupational groups). It also updates the required training topics to cover what AI is, how it works, its potential benefits and risks to government, the role of data in AI systems, risk mitigation, and considerations for agencies developing or deploying AI. The bill allows the training to be incorporated into existing federal training programs and requires that participant feedback be used to update the curriculum. Finally, it renames the underlying law the "Artificial Intelligence Training Act," dropping the "for the Acquisition Workforce" language to reflect its broader scope.
The bill primarily affects executive branch agencies and their employees, particularly those in management, supervisory, technology, and data-related roles, by extending AI literacy training requirements to them.
The bill was introduced July 10, 2023, by Rep. Nancy Mace with Rep. Gerry Connolly, referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, and on July 12, 2023, the committee ordered it reported as amended (in the nature of a substitute) by a 39-2 vote. It did not receive a further vote in the House during that session, and it would need to pass the House, pass the Senate, and be signed by the President to become law.
