What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "AI Workforce Assessment and Research Enhancement Act" or the "AWARE Act," directs the Bureau of Labor Statistics to report on the use of artificial intelligence in the workplace. It aims to address gaps in current data collection regarding how AI affects employment, wages, and job tasks. The legislation amends the Act of March 4, 1913, to include statistics on AI usage in labor conditions and products. The Bureau must begin this data collection process within 18 months of the bill's enactment. This information is intended to help various groups understand and respond to technological changes in the workforce.
