United States · Pub. L. No. 117-207, 136 Stat. 2253 (Oct. 17, 2022)
Public Law 117-207, signed October 17, 2022, requires OMB to provide regular AI training to the federal acquisition workforce. A narrow but enacted federal AI statute — one of only three AI-specific bills passed by Congress before 2024 (alongside the AI in Government Act and National AI Initiative Act).
