What this bill would do
The AI-Related Job Impacts Clarity Act requires certain entities to report how artificial intelligence is affecting employment. Covered entities must disclose quarterly data on AI-related layoffs, new hires, unfilled positions, and employee retraining efforts to the Secretary of Labor. The Secretary will then publish reports analyzing these impacts on the Bureau of Labor Statistics website and submit them to Congress. The bill applies to publicly-traded companies and government agencies, with potential future inclusion of specific non-publicly-traded companies.
