“AI-generated content is becoming more prevalent in every aspect of daily life – if we do not have a plan to become proficient in, and understand, AI today, we will not be ready to handle the challenges it can pose in the future,” said Congresswoman Rivas. “My AI for ALL Actwill help ensure the American public understand AI and that its evolving technology is being used responsibly, safely, and effectively. My bill allows the United States to continue being a global leader in AI by ensuring innovative breakthroughs with emerging technologies can continue serving the public good.”

The commission would have 10 members and be chaired by the OSTP Director. The commission would have members of government, the private sector, and higher education who are experts in AI.

 

The purpose of the commission will be to develop a national strategy for the federal government to improve and promote AI literacy and education and to coordinate AI literacy and education efforts across the federal government. 

 

The AI for ALL Act would:

 

  • Create a Commission that develops a national strategy for the Federal Government on AI literacy and education;
  • Identify the opportunities and challenges for the Federal Government to improve AI literacy and education across the country;
