What this bill would do
The AI Workforce PREPARE Act aims to better forecast and plan for how artificial intelligence impacts the United States workforce. It focuses on collecting data regarding AI adoption and related layoffs to help mitigate worker dislocation and shortages. The bill establishes a Research Hub and authorizes the recruitment of technical experts to the Department of Labor. It also includes provisions for prize competitions to develop benchmarks that measure how AI automates or augments tasks. Additionally, the Act seeks to modernize access to labor market data and inform future training and assistance programs.
