This involves developing and disseminating multilingual materials, creating a national strategy for AI literacy, and coordinating efforts at the federal, state, and local levels.

Constitutional Alignment
The Act aligns with the Constitution's broad mandate to "promote the general Welfare" (Preamble). Congress has the power to legislate in areas related to education and technology, although the Constitution does not explicitly mention these areas. The establishment of a commission and the allocation of resources for AI literacy fall within the scope of Congress's implied powers to enact laws necessary and proper for carrying out its enumerated powers (Article I, Section 8).
