“The AI Literacy Act is an important example of Congress adapting to labor market shifts. As AI becomes more prevalent, it’s essential that workers have the opportunity to upskill and reskill to meet the economic moment and business needs. Digital skills, including working with AI, remain absolutely essential for job seekers, which is why funding for workers to access digital skills is crucial for workers and businesses,” said Caroline Treschitta of the National Skills Coalition. The bill, which would amend the Digital Equity Act, defines AI literacy “as the skills associated with the ability to comprehend the basic principles, concept and applications of artificial intelligence, as well as the implications, limitations, and ethical considerations associated with artificial intelligence.”
