## Summary

**This bill would create a federal framework for aggregated, de-identified AI workforce data** to reveal how AI is used at the task and skill level and to inform labor, education, and economic policy. It emphasizes voluntary reporting and strong privacy and business-confidentiality protections while directing the Department of Labor, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Census Bureau to run a public database and annual report. - Workers, students, and educators would get more timely, standardized information on task-level AI use, age ranges, and geographic trends to help shape training and career programs. - Covered AI system providers and enterprise customers could voluntarily submit aggregated data, with first submissions covering the prior two years and no data more recent than 91 days before submission. - Federal researchers and policymakers would gain a public aggregated database and annual report plus non-binding guidance and regulations on reporting formats, taxonomies, and privacy-preserving methods to standardize data. - Privacy and business protections ban personal data, trade secrets, model weights, training data, and source code from submissions, preserve contractual privacy terms, provide FOIA protections, and prevent adverse inferences against non-participants.
