Boosting U.S. worker power and voice in the AI-enabled workplace Policies strengthening worker rights are crucial to boosting a high-road approach to an AI-enabled workplace that complements rather than replaces worker skills.

AI is transforming work, but workers shouldn’t be left behind. Stronger protections, human oversight, and collective bargaining can ensure AI benefits everyoneβ€”not just employers. Lessons from Germany show how worker voice shapes better workplaces. #FutureOfWork
