What this bill does
H.R. 9381, the AWARE Act, would direct the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to collect and report data on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the workplace. This includes how employers adopt AI technologies, how workers use AI in their jobs, and the effects of AI on tasks, wages, hiring, and training. The bill's findings suggest that better data on these topics would help policymakers, educators, businesses, and workers understand and respond to AI's impact on the labor market.
The BLS is the federal agency responsible for collecting and analyzing labor market statistics. This bill would amend existing law to ensure that the BLS's data collection explicitly includes information on AI usage, as defined by the National Artificial Intelligence Initiative Act of 2020. The agency would be required to begin collecting this new data within 18 months of the bill becoming law.
This bill was introduced in the House of Representatives and has been ordered to be reported by the committee. The next step in the legislative process would be for the bill to be considered by the full House of Representatives.
