Full Legal Analysis

Assembly Bill A1781 requires the Commissioner of Labor and Workforce Development, in consultation with the New Jersey Commission on Science, Innovation and Technology, to conduct a study on the impact of artificial intelligence on New Jersey's economy, particularly concerning highly-skilled professions. This study must be completed within one year of the bill's effective date, and a written report must be submitted to the Governor and relevant legislative committees. The report will cover various aspects, including the predicted effects of AI on the labor market, the industries most affected, and the implications for education and new job creation.
