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 effects of artificial intelligence (AI) on Pennsylvania's workforce. The bill mandates a detailed report to be submitted to the General Assembly within one year, which must analyze various aspects of AI's impact, including identifying industries most likely to be transformed, potential job displacement risks, and the skills and education needed to adapt to an AI-driven economy. The report must also include recommendations for mitigating negative workforce impacts, such as methods to reskill workers, expand access to workforce data, and ensure that vulnerable demographics and historically underserved workers can develop the necessary skills to work alongside AI technologies. To develop the report, the departments are required to collaborate with a wide range of stakeholders, including educational institutions, labor organizations, businesses, and relevant government agencies. The bill defines AI broadly, encompassing systems that can learn, adapt, and perform tasks with varying degrees of human-like intelligence, and aims to proactively prepare Pennsylvania's workforce for the rapidly evolving technological landscape.
