Workforce Transparency Act of 2026

Key Points

• This bill creates a way for companies that build or use artificial intelligence to voluntarily share information with the government about how AI is changing work. The goal is to see which tasks AI is doing most often, like writing or coding, and how it affects different parts of the country.
• To protect privacy, any data shared must be scrubbed of personal details and business secrets. The information would be grouped together so that individual workers or specific companies cannot be identified. This data would also be kept secret from public records requests to encourage companies to participate.
• The Labor Department would use this information to create a public database and an annual report for Congress. This would help leaders understand if AI is helping workers be more productive or if it is replacing certain types of jobs, especially for people just starting their careers.
• Participation is completely optional. The government cannot punish any company that chooses not to share its data. However, if a company does choose to participate and knowingly provides false information, the government can take them to court to stop the misrepresentation.
