“Senator Eric Schmitt’s AI and Critical Technology Workforce Framework Act is crafted with the intention of strengthening America’s workforce pipeline in artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, and other critical technologies and to ensure that these jobs are kept in the United States rather than being outsourced. In addition, as technologies evolve, this legislation will ensure the development of similar frameworks for emerging technology like advanced biology and quantum computing.” -Tucker Jobes, District Director
