The bill requires the Bureau of Workforce Statistics and Economic Research to conduct a study on the economic impact of automation, AI, and robotics on employment in Florida. The study will focus on job losses and gains, analyzing affected industries, geographic regions, worker demographics, and the impact on wages. It mandates the bureau to submit a report to the Governor and Legislature by December 1, 2025, and to conduct this study every three years thereafter. Key definitions include a specific definition of 'artificial intelligence' that outlines its capabilities and functions. The study will also provide policy recommendations for workforce resilience. The bill does not impose penalties for non-compliance as it is a study mandate rather than a regulatory enforcement measure. This initiative aligns with similar efforts in other states to understand and mitigate the impacts of technological advancements on the workforce.
