The Secretary, acting through the Commissioner of Labor Statistics and in coordination with the Secretary of Commerce and the Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, shall establish a program to enable and encourage artificial intelligence developers, artificial intelligence deployers, and other private entities, to share, on a voluntary basis, anonymized data on the adoption or use of artificial intelligence in the workforce. To carry out this section, the Secretary may enter into memoranda of understanding, data-licensing agreements, or other agreements for data sharing with artificial intelligence developers, artificial intelligence deployers, and other private entities, participating in the program under this section.
Any data on adoption or use of artificial intelligence furnished through the program under this section— shall be used exclusively for statistical purposes, as defined in section 3561 of title 44, United States Code; shall be— treated as confidential in accordance with the requirements under subchapter III of chapter 35 of title 44, United States Code; and exempt from disclosure under section 552(b)(3) of title 5, United States Code; shall include an anonymized description of the data sources, the methodology used, and an assessment of the limitation of the data, including any known gaps in coverage or potential for bias; and may not be used for regulatory enforcement or any antitrust action.
In establishing the program under subsection (a), the Secretary shall— develop a statistical methodology to ensure that the data collected through such program is, to the extent feasible, statistically valid and representative of all sectors and demographics of the workforce; establish data quality standards, uniform definitions, and formats for the data to be shared to ensure comparability; and develop methods to identify and mitigate selection bias in the data received. The Secretary shall maintain, on the website of the Department of Labor, a public roster of artificial intelligence developers, artificial intelligence deployers, and other private entities, that participate in the program under this section and that agree to being included in such roster.
Not less frequently than once every 6 months, the Secretary shall publish machine readable statistics on information collected under this section, such as the degree of adoption or use of artificial intelligence for various occupations, unless the Secretary determines that such publications would be more detrimental than beneficial to the goal of collecting and sharing data to inform policymaking and the career decisions of individuals. The data published under this subsection may be— aggregated across data contributors; or otherwise structured as the Secretary, in consultation with the Chief Statistician of the United States and the Workforce Information Advisory Council, determines appropriate.
Not later than 2 years after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit to Congress a report— evaluating— participation rates of artificial intelligence developers, artificial intelligence deployers, and other private entities, in the program under this section; the quality of data furnished through such program; the usefulness of the aggregated statistics published pursuant to this section, including under subsection (e), for labor-market analysis; and barriers to collection or analysis of data pursuant to this section; and providing recommendations for expanding or modifying the program under this section.
