H.R. 9907: LEARN AI Act

The bill would direct the Department of Labor to promote the use and teaching of artificial intelligence (AI) in registered apprenticeship programs.

What the bill says

• It states that U.S. policy should support workforce readiness for AI through registered apprenticeships.
• It allows the Secretary of Labor to:
  • encourage apprenticeship programs to include instruction on AI technologies, tools, and applications;
  • develop and share best practices for the responsible use of AI in apprenticeships;
  • provide technical assistance to employers, labor organizations, schools, and apprenticeship sponsors that want to add AI-related skills to their programs; and
  • support other Department of Labor efforts that help workers adapt to changes from AI.

What it would not do

• It would not require any apprenticeship program to add AI training.
• It would not change existing apprenticeship standards under current law.

Practical effect

In simple terms, the bill would make it easier for the Labor Department to help apprenticeship programs prepare workers for jobs where AI is becoming more important. It is mainly a policy and guidance bill, not a mandate.
