This law expands the role of the NIST to create clear, standardized definitions of the skills, knowledge, and tasks required for jobs in critical and emerging technologies, especially Artificial Intelligence and cybersecurity. This standardization aims to help citizens better align their education and training with industry needs, making it easier to enter or advance in high-tech careers.
Key points
The government will establish official frameworks defining the specific tasks, knowledge, and skills needed for roles in emerging technologies (like AI and quantum computing).
The frameworks must include guidance on how individuals with non-technical or non-traditional backgrounds can apply their existing skills to new technology roles, supporting career changes.
Mandatory regular updates to cybersecurity skill standards ensure that training and education keep pace with rapidly evolving threats and technology.
