AI Works

Helping American workers benefit from AI’s opportunities

AI offers immense economic potential, and we believe it will create new roles, evolve existing ones, and change far more jobs than it replaces. Through partnerships, workforce development and education, investments, and resources, our AI Works initiative supports millions of American workers through this transition with job-ready training and credentials.

The policy recommendations in our AI Opportunity Agenda identify building an AI-ready workforce as a critical step in helping America compete. Americans with AI skills – whether they work for leading employers, small businesses, universities, or in skilled trades and manufacturing – are vital for a thriving economy.

We are living in a moment of extraordinary opportunity driven by the transformative potential of AI for all Americans. Google's AI Works initiative, powered by our commitment to education, training, and partnerships, ensures every individual, business, and community across the nation can seize the economic upside the technology provides.
