Congressional hearing regarding AI-ready workforce

The U.S. is currently a global leader in AI, with American companies and institutions at the forefront of sophisticated AI models and cutting-edge research. As AI adoption becomes widespread globally, maintaining this lead is crucial for national security and economic prosperity. Concerns about the STEM education pipeline, especially in cybersecurity, are highlighted, pointing to the need for alternative education programs like boot camps for training and upskilling.

The U.S. faces competition from China, which is aggressively expanding its AI education and trying to attract AI talent. And the Chinese Ministry of Education has approved in recent years hundreds of new university AI programs, according to Georgetown University’s Center for Security and Emerging Technology, which also found that AI is the most popular new major in China.
