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

A national debate continues over whether AI is a job threat or productivity tool, as the U.S. Department of Labor releases an AI literacy framework. Concerns are growing, with a Quinnipiac poll showing more than half of Americans believe AI will do more harm than good, fueled by anxiety over layoffs at major tech companies. While companies cite AI as a reason for workforce reductions, analysts note broader economic factors like inflation and market volatility are also driving job cuts. As the tech sector invests heavily in AI, experts urge workers to learn how to integrate the technology with human judgment.
