This bill amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) to expand the permissible uses of federal education funds. Its primary goal is to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) education into K-12 schools by allowing states and local educational agencies to allocate funds for related initiatives. Specifically, the legislation modifies ESEA to permit the use of funds for student instruction on the safe, effective, and responsible use of artificial intelligence . This includes providing students with direct learning opportunities about AI technologies. The bill also authorizes funding for comprehensive professional development programs for a wide range of school personnel, including teachers, paraprofessionals, school librarians, media personnel, specialized instructional support staff, and administrators. These professional development programs are designed to equip educators and school leaders with the necessary knowledge and skills to both utilize AI themselves and effectively teach its use to students. By broadening the scope of allowable expenses, the bill aims to enhance AI literacy and readiness across the K-12 education system.
