In response to the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and its transformative impact on labor markets, the Wisconsin Governor Ton Evers’ Task Force on Workforce and Artificial Intelligence has released a detailed Advisory Action Plan. Established by Executive Order #211, the Task Force is chaired by Department of Workforce Development (DWD) Secretary Amy Pechacek, with additional leadership from Department of Administration (DOA) Secretary Kathy Blumenfeld and Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) Secretary and CEO Missy Hughes. The plan aims to harness AI technologies to advance equity and economic opportunities while addressing potential workforce disruptions.
