What it does
The bill tells the Government Accountability Office to study AI's job effects. The study covers November 2022 until the bill passes. It must count job losses from AI and new AI jobs. It must show how jobs changed and find missing government facts. Results will be split by state, industry, job type, race, and sex.
Who it affects
Workers and families will learn how AI is changing jobs. Companies and communities will see which jobs are growing or shrinking.
One thing to notice
The bill asks for facts split by race and sex. This may show if AI affects some worker groups differently.
