Bradford J. Kelley

Employment attorney and former EEOC and Department of Labor official; testified to Congress on workplace AI in 2026.

I can state unequivocally that AI is empowering workers in meaningful ways. For example, many employees already rely on AI-powered applications on their smartphones to boost productivity and streamline tasks, which demonstrably improves their work-life balance. AI is also helping workers find their most rewarding jobs. Moreover, AI is unlocking new opportunities for individuals with disabilities, facilitating greater workplace inclusion and accessibility.

Bradford J. Kelley votes Against

States should retain the right to set stricter AI safety standards than the federal government

Congress should strongly consider enacting a national standard that streamlines compliance and expressly preempts conflicting state and local frameworks.
