The Business Software Alliance (BSA) welcomes the Department of Labor's new AI Literacy Framework announced today. Establishing a central set of resources and instructional guidance helps workers, employers, and educational institutions better coordinate their crucial work in building an AI-ready workforce for the future. Building AI skills is a cornerstone of its widespread adoption across the economy; the Department of Labor's effort echoes BSA’s call for a national AI skills framework, and we hope the Department of Labor's effort can spur similar and aligned efforts where appropriate across government.
