Bill > HB05048

This bill mandates a comprehensive study on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the trades industry, focusing specifically on how AI technologies might affect trade workers. The study will explore two primary areas: job displacement, which means examining how AI could potentially replace human workers in various trade professions, and the curriculum of the Technical Education and Career System, suggesting an analysis of how educational programs for trades might need to adapt to incorporate AI technologies or prepare workers for an AI-integrated workplace. By requiring this study, the legislation aims to proactively understand the potential economic and workforce implications of AI in trade-related industries, which could inform future policy decisions, educational strategies, and workforce development initiatives. The bill appears to be a forward-looking effort to anticipate and mitigate potential disruptions caused by emerging artificial intelligence technologies in traditional trade sectors.
