Bill > HR5584

This bill aims to improve artificial intelligence (AI) literacy among K-12 students by establishing a comprehensive educational initiative through the National Science Foundation. The bill recognizes the transformative potential of AI across industries and the importance of preparing American youth to understand, use, and potentially create AI technologies. It proposes making competitive grants to higher education institutions and nonprofit organizations to develop AI educational curricula, instructional materials, and professional development for educators. Key activities include creating learner-centered AI curriculum, providing professional learning opportunities for educators to enhance AI literacy and promote responsible AI use, developing evaluation tools for AI proficiency, designing professional development courses, creating hands-on learning tools, and augmenting existing curricula to incorporate AI concepts. The bill defines AI literacy as having age-appropriate knowledge to effectively use AI, critically interpret AI outputs, solve problems in an AI-enabled world, and mitigate potential risks. By focusing on AI education from an early age, the bill seeks to ensure the United States remains a global leader in technological innovation and prepares students for future workforce needs in an increasingly AI-driven world.
