AI Leadership Training Act
Latest action (17 May 2023): Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. Ordered to be reported with an amendment in the nature of a substitute favorably.
What this bill does
The AI Leadership Training Act would direct the Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to create, or ensure the provision of, an annual training program on artificial intelligence for certain federal employees. Within 18 months of enactment, OPM would need to develop this program, which could incorporate existing agency training. The program must cover topics such as how AI works, its benefits and risks, data and bias issues, ways AI can fail, risk-mitigation strategies, and constitutional concerns related to government use of AI for surveillance or censorship. The program would be updated at least every two years and would automatically expire ten years after enactment unless renewed.
The bill primarily affects federal executive branch employees classified as management officials, supervisors, or others designated by agency heads to participate. It also places new administrative responsibilities on OPM, including tracking participation, gathering feedback, and responding to congressional requests for information about training materials within 14 days.
The bill was introduced by Senator Gary Peters (D-MI) with Senator Mike Braun (R-IN) in May 2023 and referred to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. On November 2, 2023, the committee reported the bill favorably with an amendment in the nature of a substitute, revising several provisions from the original text. It has not yet received a floor vote in the Senate, and further action by the full Senate and the House would be required before it could become law.
