Conclusion
Responding to the economic effects of AI-driven automation will be a significant policy
challenge for the next Administration and its successors. AI has already begun to transform the
American workplace, changing the types of jobs available and the skills that workers need to
thrive. All Americans should have the opportunity to participate in addressing these challenges,
whether as students, workers, managers, or technical leaders, or simply as citizens with a voice
in the policy debate.
AI raises many new policy questions, which should be continued topics for discussion and
consideration by future Administrations, Congress, the private sector, and the public. Continued
engagement among government, industry, technical and policy experts, and the public should
play an important role in moving the Nation toward policies that create broadly shared
prosperity, unlock the creative potential of American companies and workers, and ensure the
Nation’s continued leadership in the creation and use of AI.
