The AI Workforce PREPARE Act establishes a comprehensive framework to help the federal government, employers, and workers prepare for artificial intelligence's impact on the job market. The Department of Labor will create an AI Workforce Research Hub, hire up to 20 specialized experts, and require federal agencies to revise major employment surveys within one year to track AI adoption and changing skill requirements. The bill also mandates that the Commerce Department launch a pilot program collecting job-transition data quarterly, establishes a voluntary data-sharing program where AI companies can anonymously report workforce adoption data for statistical analysis, and funds prize competitions ($13 million total through 2030) to develop better AI capability benchmarks and improve labor-market forecasting. Employers must disclose whether AI was a substantial factor in mass layoffs, and the Labor Secretary must regularly evaluate AI employment forecasts and publish findings by year four, with additional studies examining rapid assistance programs for workers displaced by AI.
