Bill > S1257

This bill establishes a Federal artificial intelligence (AI) scholarship-for-service program to recruit and train AI professionals to work in federal, state, local, and tribal governments. The program will provide scholarships to students enrolled in AI-related degree programs at qualified institutions of higher education, offer summer internships and other temporary appointments in the federal workforce, and prioritize employment placement of scholarship recipients in executive agencies. Scholarship recipients must commit to working in the public sector in AI-related roles for a period equal to the length of their scholarship. The bill also includes provisions for monitoring and enforcing compliance with the service obligation, as well as reporting requirements to evaluate the program's success in recruiting and retaining AI talent in the public sector.
