A coalition of 40 organizations has written to Congress urging lawmakers to prioritize worker rights in federal legislation about artificial intelligence (AI).<br \/>\n&#8211; The letter highlights concerns about the potential negative impacts of AI adoption, including jeopardizing workers&#8217; rights, increasing discrimination risks, violating privacy rights, and affecting the economic stability of working families.<br \/>\n&#8211; These groups emphasize the urgency of legislative action because AI adoption is rapidly progressing and cannot be delayed any further.<br \/>\n&#8211; The letter was spearheaded by the Economic Policy Institute, We Build Progress, the AFL-CIO Tech Institute and Workshop.<br \/>\n&#8211; The organizations point out that nearly two years have passed since the Bipartisan Senate AI Working Group released its AI policy roadmap without comprehensive legislation being considered in the Senate.<br \/>\n&#8211; They have called upon the House Democratic Commission on AI and the Innovation Economy to center the impacts of AI on workers in federal reforms.<br \/>\n&#8211; The White House has already proposed a national AI regulation framework to avoid conflicting state laws, but this is criticized by the letter&#8217;s authors for focusing on corporate interests over public good.<br \/>\n&#8211; Additionally, President Donald Trump issued an executive order in December aimed at inhibiting state-level AI regulations, which critics have deemed \u201clikely unconstitutional\u201d and aligned with tech industry interests over state regulatory authority.<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American workers \u2018can\u2019t afford to wait\u2019 on federal AI legislation, groups say https:\/\/www.hrdive.com\/news\/american-workers-cant-afford-to-wait-on-federal-ai-legislation\/818696\/ Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":206824,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/imgproxy.divecdn.com\/dVAyi73LsPq7zvYUr2wKFekA9ECTXRPkuWDm8q75mb4\/g:ce\/rs:fit:770:435\/Z3M6Ly9kaXZlc2l0ZS1zdG9yYWdlL2RpdmVpbWFnZS9HZXR0eUltYWdlcy0yMjI2NzAyOTM3LmpwZw==.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-206823","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206823"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=206823"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206823\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":206825,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/206823\/revisions\/206825"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/206824"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=206823"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=206823"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=206823"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
