Bill > SB293

This bill, known as the Artificial Intelligence Workforce Impact Act, requires the Departments of Labor and Industry and Community and Economic Development to conduct a comprehensive study on the potential impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) on Pennsylvania's workforce. The bill mandates a detailed report to be submitted to the General Assembly within 18 months, focusing on understanding how AI might transform employment across various industries. The report must analyze which industries are most likely to be affected by AI, identify the skills and education needed to work alongside AI technologies, and examine the demographic groups most vulnerable to job displacement. The study will involve collaboration with schools, higher education institutions, workforce training organizations, labor groups, and business stakeholders to gather comprehensive insights. Key objectives include identifying data about workforce changes, exploring opportunities for workers to influence AI's impact, recommending methods to mitigate potential negative consequences, and proposing strategies to ensure that skills training and education are accessible to all segments of the workforce, particularly those most at risk of being displaced by technological advancements. The bill emphasizes a proactive approach to preparing Pennsylvania's workforce for the rapid technological changes brought about by artificial intelligence, with the ultimate goal of supporting workers' adaptation and maintaining economic resilience.
