What happened
Senator Mark Kelly introduced the 'Make AI Work for Americans Act' on the Senate floor. The proposed legislation would require tech companies to contribute to an 'AI Horizon Fund' to support workers affected by artificial intelligence. This fund would be used for retraining, paid service, and job support for displaced workers. Kelly noted that he faces an uphill battle in Congress, where leaders like President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson have resisted immediate government regulation, arguing it could slow domestic AI growth.
