Engaging the House Freedom Caucus on the Job Displacement Crisis Due to AI and Automation

Written By Kevin Bihan-Poudec

As the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation continues to reshape industries and labor markets, the job displacement crisis is becoming an urgent issue that requires immediate attention. As an advocate for ethical AI and job preservation, I recently took steps to engage with members of the House Freedom Caucus to address this critical matter. Here, I share my experience and provide guidance for others who wish to join this important cause.

Understanding the House Freedom Caucus

The House Freedom Caucus, a group of conservative Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives, is known for its commitment to reducing government spending, securing borders, and defending constitutional freedoms. Key members of the caucus as of 2024 include:

These members hold influential positions and have the potential to drive legislative actions that can mitigate the adverse effects of AI and automation on the workforce.

Subject: Urgent Call to Address Job Displacement Crisis Due to AI and Automation

Dear Representative House Freedom Caucus,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern about the ongoing and escalating crisis of job displacement caused by artificial intelligence (AI) and automation technologies. As a dedicated advocate for ethical AI and job preservation, I believe it is imperative that we take immediate action to address the profound impacts these technologies are having on our workforce and society.

Over the past several years, AI and automation have advanced rapidly, offering significant benefits in terms of efficiency and productivity. However, these same advancements have also led to widespread job displacement, particularly in sectors such as manufacturing, retail, transportation, and even in white-collar professions like data analysis and customer service. Many hardworking Americans have found themselves out of work, struggling to support their families, and facing an uncertain future.

I urge you to prioritize the following actions to mitigate the adverse effects of AI and automation:

  • Legislation for Ethical AI

  • Retraining Programs

  • Support for Small Businesses

  • Economic Safeguards

  • Public Awareness and Dialogue

The job displacement crisis due to AI and automation is not a distant threat; it is happening now, affecting millions of Americans. We must act swiftly and decisively to protect our workforce and ensure that technological advancements benefit all members of society, not just a select few.

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to seeing the proactive measures you will take to address this critical issue.

Sincerely,
