This week, Congressman Vince Fong (CA-20) introduced H.R. 5351, the National Science Foundation Artificial Intelligence Education Act of 2025 (NSF AI Education Act), a bold and strategic bill designed to strengthen America’s leadership in artificial intelligence by addressing critical gaps in education, research, and workforce development. Joining him in this important legislative effort are Congresswomen Andrea Salinas (OR-06) and Brittany Pettersen (CO-07).

“As emerging technologies like AI reshape the global economy, it’s critical that rural communities, like those in California’s Central Valley, are empowered,” said Congressman Fong (CA-20). “Our legislation increases access to the tools and training that students and workers across the country need to thrive in the 21st-century economy. By expanding AI education through scholarships, fellowships, and regional Centers of Excellence at community colleges, we can lay the groundwork for long-term opportunity for the next generation to lead in a world of rapid innovation.”
