In June 2023, Jobs for the Future (JFF) launched the Center for Artificial Intelligence & the Future of Work. The Center is founded in the recognition that AI is reshaping every aspect of how we learn, work, and live. The Center is enabling stakeholders to knowledge-share and collaborate across the learn-and-work ecosystem to explore promising opportunities—and the many challenges—of AI’s potential to advance an accessible and equitable future of learning and work.
The Center is focusing initially on cross-sector convenings, research, and insights to identify best practices for leveraging AI to accelerate skill development, improvements in job quality, and economic advancement. The Center is also focusing on connecting policy with practices grounded in equitable applications of AI so that all learners and workers can gain access to and benefit from AI.
JFF’s Center for Artificial Intelligence & the Future of Work collaborated with Intel Corporation to publish a report in November 2023, The AI-Ready Workforce. The report offers three resources—a framework model, industry-specific profiles, and a readiness blueprint. The report is founded in the recognition that every occupation will benefit by focusing on uniquely human interpersonal skills that will be elevated or augmented by AI. The learn-and-work ecosystem can prepare for AI-driven shifts across industries and occupations, and help workers, institutions, and ecosystems to prepare. The report finds that most jobs will be transformed, not displaced, by AI.
In 2023, JFF commissioned a survey conducted by Morning Consult to study adult views on AI. The study was conducted between May 31 –June 2, 2023 with a sample size of 2,204 adults. Interviews were conducted online and the data were weighted to approximate a target sample of adults based on age, gender, race, educational attainment, region, gender by age, and race by educational attainment.
Key findings included in the report published July 2023:
JFF is a national nonprofit with a mission to drive transformation in the U.S. education and workforce systems to achieve equitable economic advancement for all.
