""The Democrats should say our vision is AI that actually helps tackle the economic divides. ... our job as politicians should be to make sure that the AI future is one that has the economic future of every family and community,""
""If you're going to have increased worker productivity, then workers should have a role in the share of those profits.""
""The biggest thing is coming up with a plan for how you're going to retrain people for other jobs,""
""We do not want to find ourselves in a situation where there are 10 million people that lost their jobs through AI and they don't have a good option. That's not good for anyone,""
Democrats are concentrating on policies to aid workers displaced by AI through workforce development, retraining, and apprenticeship programs. Sen. Maria Cantwell intends to build on efforts like the NSF AI Education Act to advance STEM learning and worker readiness. Rep. Ro Khanna emphasizes that AI should reduce economic divides and ensure workers share gains from increased productivity. Sen. Mark Kelly proposes an AI Horizon Fund, funded by tech companies, to support union-led apprenticeships and coordinate state and federal worker development, while stressing the need for retraining plans. Republicans favor minimizing regulatory intervention, exemplified by Sen. Ted Cruz's AI SANDBOX Act.
