Economy of the Future Commission Act of 2026

The Economy of the Future Commission Act of 2026 proposes the establishment of a specialized commission within the legislative branch to study the long-term economic impacts of artificial intelligence (AI). The commission would be tasked with developing consensus-based legislative recommendations to address shifts in the labor market, education requirements, and the national tax base caused by the widespread adoption of AI technologies.

If enacted, the commission would consist of experts in technology, education, and workforce retraining, alongside members of Congress. Their work would include producing detailed reports on expected employment changes over the next decade and evaluating the effectiveness of current social safety nets. The group would also explore how the government can better partner with the private sector to ensure citizens have access to the resources needed to adapt to a changing economy.

For everyday citizens, this bill aims to create a roadmap for navigating job market disruptions. By requiring the commission to provide public resources and specific recommendations on reskilling and unemployment insurance, the legislation seeks to prepare the American workforce for future technological shifts. The commission would be required to deliver its final findings and legislative proposals to Congress within 13 months of the bill's passage.
