If you work (or used to) for a company that abandoned its retirement plan after a bankruptcy, merger, or other event, you’re still entitled to the retirement savings you earned there. We’re improving how assets are distributed to retirement plan participants to help ensure that no benefit is left behind. https://lnkd.in/ejHbvBCn

We've released principles that provide employers and developers that create and deploy artificial intelligence with guidance for designing and implementing these emerging technologies in ways that enhance job quality and protect workers’ rights. Developed as a result of President Biden’s Executive Order on the Safe, Secure and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence, this initiative underscores the administration's commitment to ensuring AI technologies strengthen worker empowerment and well-being while addressing risks to workers. Specifically, the AI principles emphasize ethical development; transparency in its use; meaningful worker engagement in system design, use, governance and oversight; protection of workers’ rights; and use of AI to enhance work. We remain committed to monitoring AI’s impact on the workforce and partnering with companies, unions and other stakeholders to protect and empower workers. As part of this effort, we will soon provide employers and developers with best practices to consider as they implement the AI principles. https://lnkd.in/es7CzGbu
