Time: 1 to - 4:30 p.m.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies promise to profoundly shape the nature of work, altering the skills workers need for success, changing the competitive landscape for employers, and forcing educational and workforce development systems to overhaul their offerings in order to sustain a thriving Wisconsin economy.

At the same time, AI holds the potential to advance equity and economic opportunity while serving as a driver for economic development.

Harnessing the technology to achieve these outcomes requires a strategic approach.

The Governor's Task Force on Workforce and Artificial Intelligence is bringing together leaders from business, agriculture, education, technology, labor, workforce development, and government to identify policies and investments that will advance Wisconsin workers, employers, and job seekers through this technological transformation.

Subcommittee Details:

Industries, Occupations, and Skills Subcommittee

This subcommittee will delve into the industries, occupations, and functional skillsets most likely to benefit or experience disruption from AI. Both employee and employer needs will be addressed.

Equity and Economic Opportunity Subcommittee

The rise of generative AI offers the potential to advance equity and economic opportunity. This committee will explore existing programs designed to connect underutilized talent pools with in-demand skills, identify gaps, and propose solutions that lead to career advancement in these new fields.

Workforce Development and Educational Solutions Subcommittee

Based on the work of the previous two groups, this subcommittee will identify policy, educational, and budget solutions to prepare Wisconsin's workforce, drive economic development, and sustain thriving communities.
