AI | Kathryn Anne Edwards Proposes New Job-Search Aid Program

Bloomberg Opinion columnist and economist Kathryn Anne Edwards has a solution for the US unemployment system, according to Bloomberg. She argues the current system was built for workers of the 1920s and proved inadequate during the pandemic, when Congress had to create a new program while supporting the old one. Edwards says Americans now fear AI’s impact on jobs and careers, and she wants government and elected officials to address that anxiety by building a new program to help workers looking for jobs.
