National Law Review details the U.S. Department of Labor’s enthusiastic support for President Trump’s AI Action Plan, emphasizing the centrality of American workers in the administration’s AI policy. The plan, developed following Trump’s January executive order, outlines clear steps to empower workers through AI literacy, skill development, and rapid retraining programs.

The Labor Department will prioritize AI skills in education and workforce funding, establish an AI Workforce Research Hub to analyze AI’s labor market effects, and pilot innovative workforce models. The initiatives also focus on training workers for AI infrastructure roles, partnering with state and local governments to create industry-driven training programs and expand apprenticeships. Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer and Deputy Secretary Keith Sonderling highlight the plan’s potential to create economic prosperity and prepare the workforce for AI-driven changes.
