What does this do?
HR 6621 requires federal agencies to study how artificial intelligence is changing jobs, then funds education and retraining programs based on those findings. The Department of Education would run a grant program for schools and colleges to expand tech and computer science education from kindergarten through college. The Department of Labor would run a separate grant program to help currently employed and recently displaced workers in AI-affected industries learn new skills.
Who does it affect?
K-12 students in low-income, rural, and minority communities who have less access to technology education are a primary focus, along with workers in industries such as manufacturing and service sectors where AI is growing fast. Teachers, community colleges, technical schools, tribal colleges, and minority-serving institutions would be eligible to apply for grant funding.
Why does it matter?
The bill responds to concerns that AI is displacing workers and creating uneven access to the skills needed in a changing economy. Without action, the reports and grant programs it proposes would not exist, leaving gaps in both data and workforce preparation.
What does it cost, and who pays?
- Up to $160M for education grants
- Up to $90M for worker retraining
- Half of education funds for teacher training
