CONTINUING COVERAGE: Maryland Prepares for AI's Impact on the Workforce
BALTIMORE (WBFF) — The future of Maryland's workforce is under a microscope as Gov. Wes Moore pushes the state to become a leader in artificial intelligence.
Moore has shared concerns about the potential impact of AI on jobs across Maryland and has stressed the importance of protecting workers as part of his broader agenda. The governor outlined three main goals for the state: shielding employees as technology advances, harnessing AI to streamline government services and aiming to capture economic growth tied to the industry.
State records show Moore's administration has set aside $4 million for workforce programs related to AI. Meanwhile, a report from the Maryland State Innovation Team suggests that nearly 40 percent of workers hold jobs considered highly vulnerable to automation by AI.
Lecturer, Technologist, and Investor Dan Ye joined Fox45 this morning to discuss whether Maryland is prepared.
