Developing real-time, evidence-based recommendations to help policymakers respond swiftly to artificial intelligence’s impact on work and shape a future where workers and communities can thrive. Read the press release

About the Commission

AI is already reshaping work, but the policy and business response is still being written. The next year offers a rare window to inform presidential platforms, federal and state policy agendas, boardroom decisions, and workers’ choices while they are still taking shape.

Artificial intelligence is too consequential and too uncertain for any one organization to navigate alone. The Commission on AI and the Future of the American Workforce is a bipartisan initiative co-chaired by Gina Raimondo (former U.S. Secretary of Commerce) and Paul Ryan (former Speaker of the House) and hosted by the American Enterprise Institute and the Urban Institute.

Over the next year, a cross-ideological body of commissioners from business, labor, academia, and government will collaborate to develop practical policy playbooks that help the nation prepare for multiple possible AI futures.

Gina Raimondo headshot “Artificial intelligence can widen the gap between who gets ahead and who gets left behind—or it can be the greatest engine of opportunity in a generation, which one we get depends on the choices we make now.” — Gina Raimondo, co-chair of the commission

Paul Ryan headshot “Artificial intelligence will change how millions of Americans earn a living, and we must ensure AI catalyzes upward mobility and preserves the dignity of work. Bringing AEI and the Urban Institute together signals that this is a problem for the whole country, not just one party. ” — Paul Ryan, co-chair of the commission
