AI Training Extension Act of 2025

Summary

Amends the federal law on AI training for acquisition staff to make the General Services Administration (GSA) — working with OMB — responsible for running and integrating an AI training program across federal agencies. It broadens who must get training to include not only acquisition personnel but also managers, supervisors, and data or technology employees, and updates required training topics to cover AI capabilities, risks, and relevant OMB/GSA guidance and best practices. Also changes the statute’s short title and adds or revises definitions (for example, acquisition position, data or technology position, administrator, management official, and supervisor). The bill lets GSA fold the AI training into other federal training programs and asks that participant feedback be used when practicable.

• Shifts primary responsibility for the federal AI training program from OMB to the GSA Administrator, with OMB coordination.
• Expands covered personnel to include acquisition positions plus management officials, supervisors, and data or technology employees.
• Updates required training content to cover AI capabilities, risks, and OMB/GSA-developed requirements and best practices.
• Adds or revises statutory definitions for key roles and positions to clarify who must receive training.
• Permits GSA to incorporate AI training into other federal training programs, including under existing statutory training authorities.
• Requires GSA to use participant feedback to improve the program where practicable.
• Changes the act’s short title but does not itself appropriate new funds or set explicit funding deadlines.
• Focuses on standardizing AI training across the federal workforce to align with government-wide AI guidance.
