Expand access to AI education and workforce training to prepare students and workers for high-paying careers in the digital economy.

with a goal of growing and scaling this partnership across Nevada in the months ahead
Evidence
Rep. Steven Horsford announced he would join OpenAI, Rep. Ro Khanna, and the College of Southern Nevada for an OpenAI Academy event focused on expanding access to AI education and preparing Nevada's students and workers for high-paying careers in the digital economy. The release says the event would connect students, workers, and small businesses with AI education and tools, and that OpenAI would host hands-on training sessions for faculty, students, and small businesses.
OpenAI Academy's event page shows the April 24, 2026 session at College of Southern Nevada's North Las Vegas Campus, describing a fireside chat and hands-on instruction for small business owners, with the event marked finished.
OpenAI Academy describes itself as offering resources, guides, videos, workshops, and in-person events to help people understand and use AI, including education-focused content and work-oriented skills development.
Assessments
The promise is framed broadly as expanding access to AI education and workforce training, not as enacting a specific federal statute or creating a permanent statewide program. Evidence shows Horsford materially helped bring a concrete AI education and workforce-training initiative to Nevada during his current term: he publicly partnered with OpenAI, Rep. Ro Khanna, and the College of Southern Nevada for an OpenAI Academy event specifically aimed at connecting students, workers, and small businesses with AI education, tools, and hands-on training. Independent confirmation indicates the event occurred as scheduled and provided practical instruction. Given the claim’s moderate specificity and the direct alignment between the event’s purpose and the promised outcome, this constitutes delivery, even if on a limited programmatic scale rather than through sweeping legislation.
