S 4487 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Small Business Artificial Intelligence Training Act of 2024

S 4487, the Small Business Artificial Intelligence Training Act of 2024, requires the Secretary of Commerce to develop free training resources and toolkits on AI and key emerging technologies (like quantum-hybrid computing) for small businesses. These materials will cover practical areas including financial management, cybersecurity, marketing, and government contracting, with specific focus on businesses in rural, Tribal, or underserved communities and advanced manufacturing. The training will be distributed through existing Small Business Administration networks like small business development centers and SCORE. The Secretary must update the resources every two years and report to Congress on their distribution and measurable outcomes, such as the number of businesses using them and impacts on revenue or workforce.
