This bill, known as the "NSF AI Education Act of 2025", supports the National Science Foundation (NSF) in developing education and professional development programs related to artificial intelligence (AI). The bill establishes several key initiatives, including scholarships and fellowships for undergraduate and graduate students studying AI, with a focus on areas like AI in education, manufacturing, and agriculture. These scholarships can cover tuition, fees, stipends, and professional development funds for up to five years. The bill also creates professional development fellowships for students, faculty, industry professionals, and school professionals to enhance AI skills and knowledge. Additionally, the legislation supports the establishment of up to eight Community College and Area Career and Technical Education Centers of AI Excellence, which will develop best practices for AI research and education, provide experiential learning opportunities, and help students identify career pathways in AI. The bill further directs the NSF to provide competitive research awards for developing AI teaching models, tools, and materials for pre-K through 12th-grade education, with an emphasis on preparing teachers to integrate AI into classrooms and studying its educational impacts. Importantly, the bill prioritizes outreach to rural institutions, emerging research institutions, and underserved communities, and requires comprehensive reporting on the programs' effectiveness.
