- A newly formed Commission on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the American Workforce aims to study AI’s impacts on jobs, joining other recent efforts to anticipate AI’s job impacts.
- Previous “future of work” commissions in California and elsewhere often failed to predict the actual outcomes of technological advancements accurately, instead issuing general recommendations that lacked practical implementation.
- The past miscalculations in workforce projections were due to the complex interplay of technological advancements, government policies, and shifting consumer preferences, which are inherently unpredictable.
- The new AEI/Urban Institute Commission on AI and Workforce aims to provide more timely and practical guidance, focusing on real-time tracking of AI impacts and offering reskilling and upskilling scenarios.
- Experts like Georgetown University’s Harry Holzer advise against excessive speculation and emphasize the need to adapt workforce training to keep up with evolving job market demands driven by AI.
