House Panel Advances Title IX and AI Education Bills

The House Education and Workforce Committee advanced H.R. 8747, the K-12 AI Literacy and Readiness Act of 2026, during a markup session. The bill would help schools use federal funds for artificial intelligence education. The advancement follows a period of review and discussion within the committee.

The legislation is designed to integrate AI literacy into the K-12 education system. The bill does not specify particular curricula, giving states and school districts discretion in implementation. It aims to ensure students are familiar with AI concepts and applications.

H.R. 8747 now proceeds to the House floor for debate and a potential vote. If passed, it would create a federal program supporting AI education. The advancement comes amid broader legislative efforts to address AI's impact on employment and education. Further amendments may be added during floor consideration.
