Plain-English Summary
The federal government would hire an independent auditor to research how artificial intelligence is changing American jobs—including which types of work might disappear, which new jobs might be created, and how workers can prepare for these changes. The study would help lawmakers understand whether new training programs or policies are needed to help workers adapt to AI technology. This information would be used to inform future decisions about education, job training, and worker support programs.
