HR 9334 lets the NSF fund graduate and postdoctoral fellowships across fields like computer science, social science, ethics, law, and humanities to study AI safety and trustworthiness. It also allows NSF to fund workshops, training, and certification programs, and requires grant review panels to include people from diverse disciplines. Separately, NIST must build a standardized framework describing AI jobs, skills, and knowledge, similar to existing cybersecurity frameworks.
Universities, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers could receive new federal funding; federal agencies and private employers would gain clearer AI job standards, developed with input from the Department of Labor, the Office of Personnel Management, and industry and labor groups.
The bill does not regulate AI technology itself but shapes who gets trained and funded to work on it, and how AI jobs are defined and standardized across government and industry.
