Future-Proofing the Workforce for the AI Era

AI is rapidly transforming the US economy, with the potential to impact fundamentally how we work, live, and innovate. Maximizing AI’s potential while also mitigating its risks requires preparing the US workforce with the necessary skills and flexibility to adapt in this changing environment. Yet the nation’s education and training systems often do not keep pace with the economy’s evolving skill needs.

Successfully navigating the AI transition demands a collaborative and proactive approach from policymakers and business leaders to address the nation’s existing skills gap and better prepare US workers for technological change, including significantly expanding workforce training opportunities.

By attending, you will learn:

  • How AI’s potential can help alleviate the economic challenges of lackluster productivity growth and ongoing labor shortages.
  • What the expected impacts of AI are on the workplace, the US labor market, and the demand for future skills.
  • How the nation’s workforce development and training systems can foster a future-proof workforce.
  • How business leaders can promote AI deployment through strategies that prioritize planning around future AI-enabled roles and drive upskilling initiatives, both internally and through external partnerships.
  • How government initiatives coordinated with the private sector in research, worker training, and building expertise in AI can facilitate a successful transition and strengthen US technological leadership.
