AI should be a tool to help workers, not a weapon used against them. Nobody should be disciplined or fired by an algorithm or have sensitive personal information collected without their consent. These bills provide the commonsense guardrails that workers across the country and across party lines are demanding, and I commend Senator Markey for his leadership in promoting a pro-worker AI agenda.

AI will create more jobs than it destroys

We are here to sound the alarms on AI and advanced technology because this is a worker’s issue, and this race that everybody seems to think we’re in to advance AI at all costs, with no guardrails or protections for people, is reckless and dangerous.

Require human-in-the-loop oversight for agentic AI systems acting in high-stakes domains
