Official title: To establish in the Office of Science and Technology Policy the Artificial Intelligence Literacy and Education Commission, and for other purposes.
Introduced November 19, 2025 by Luz M. Rivas · Last progress November 19, 2025
The bill centralizes and scales AI literacy and workforce initiatives—improving access, coordination, and potential employability benefits—while creating new federal costs, governance/transparency risks, and constraints that could limit local flexibility and inclusive reach.
Students, educators, and the general public will gain centralized, multilingual AI literacy resources (via a public website and outreach) that make it easier to learn about AI risks, benefits, and tools.
Higher education institutions, state education agencies, and federal partners will have a coordinated federal venue and strategy (a Commission and Chair) to set national AI literacy priorities and align efforts across agencies and schools.
Workers and students will gain clearer AI skills and training alignment that can improve workforce readiness, employability, and U.S. competitiveness in AI-related fields.
Taxpayers and federal budgets may face new and ongoing costs because establishing and running the Commission, developing resources, and running a national multimedia campaign require federal funding and staff time that are not specifically appropriated.
The Commission’s exemption from the Federal Advisory Committee Act and broad Chair-determined dissemination authority could reduce transparency and allow political or uneven prioritization of materials and outreach.
Students, educators, and families could see Commission recommendations skewed toward industry perspectives because private-sector and select expert appointments risk prioritizing commercial views over neutral public-interest approaches.
Based on analysis of 5 sections of legislative text.
Creates a federal commission in OSTP to develop multilingual AI literacy materials, run outreach, and deliver a national AI literacy strategy within one year.
Creates a new federal commission housed in OSTP to lead a national effort on AI literacy and education. The Commission must produce multilingual public resources, run outreach (including a possible public media campaign and website), and deliver a national strategy within one year to improve Americans’ understanding and safe use of AI, with periodic reviews and updates. The Commission is chaired by the OSTP Director, includes representatives from several federal agencies plus three non‑federal experts, meets at least quarterly, and coordinates federal, state, and local AI literacy efforts to support continued U.S. leadership in AI.
