What this bill does
H.R. 10515, the Artificial Intelligence Education and Workforce Readiness Act of 2026, would establish a federal framework to guide the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in education and the workforce. It aims to promote ethical and responsible AI teaching and learning, ensure fair access to job training for AI-related fields, and protect student and worker data privacy. The bill would also create a list of occupations affected by AI and establish an interagency council to coordinate federal AI efforts in education and employment.
The bill affects students, workers, and educational institutions by proposing various programs, grants, and initiatives. These include funding for AI-disrupted career pathways, pilot programs for micro-credentials, and grants for AI apprenticeships and reskilling. It also emphasizes equitable access to AI education and training, particularly for minority-serving institutions and underserved communities. Furthermore, the bill addresses the environmental impacts of AI and strengthens data privacy protections.
This bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on September 21, 2026, by Representative Suzanne Bonamici and has been referred to multiple committees. As it has just been introduced, it has not yet passed either the House or the Senate, nor has it been signed into law by the President. The next steps would involve committee review, potential amendments, and votes in both chambers of Congress before it could become law.
