S 4458 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes five-year "New Jersey Artificial Intelligence Workforce Transition Act."

This bill creates a five-year program called the New Jersey Artificial Intelligence Workforce Transition Act to help workers affected by artificial intelligence. It defines an "AI-displaced worker" as someone who lost their job because an employer adopted or expanded AI systems and establishes a dedicated funding account to support them. The law requires the state to create an index that measures how vulnerable different workers are to job loss based on factors like age, savings, and location, ensuring aid targets those most at risk. Additionally, the act aims to encourage companies to use AI to help employees rather than replace them and mandates that public funding be tied to actual job outcomes instead of just enrollment numbers.
