U.S. Labor releases AI literacy framework amid fears over job losses.

A national debate continues over whether artificial intelligence is a threat to jobs or a tool for productivity, as the U.S. Department of Labor releases an AI literacy framework. Concerns are widespread, with a Quinnipiac poll showing more than half of Americans believe AI will do more harm than good, fueled by high-profile layoffs at tech giants like Meta, Amazon, and Pinterest. While these companies cite AI as a reason for workforce reductions, experts note broader economic factors like inflation and tariffs are also major drivers. Despite the anxiety, experts urge workers to learn how to integrate AI with human judgment.
