Jobs for All
America’s greatest problem solvers, our businesses, must rise to meet this challenge: not just to pursue profit, but to ensure that every willing worker finds purpose in the age of AI. By working together across nonprofits, universities, government, and the American people, we can build an AI-powered future that includes everyone. Let the job creators create the jobs, and let the nation watch with pride. Legal doctrines have even been developed to justify sharing the AI love!
America is a nation of workers!

"This all suggests that rather than search for fanciful transfer mechanism, society should strengthen its existing safety nets and crucially attempt to combine this with the creation of meaningful, well-paying jobs for all demographic groups - which means redirecting technology." Power and Progress
"To execute a grassroots job guarantee program, one does not need big government planning and decision making. The nonprofit market, whose reason for existence is addressing social needs, can create the needed jobs and implement the projects, so long as it has the resources."

"we have been long-time advocates of the permanent establishment of a federal job guarantee to eliminate working poverty and involuntary unemployment. Our plan constitutes a genuine public option for employment that enables existing workers, particularly those confined to the low end of the labor market, to bargain and obtain higher wages, greater benefits and better working conditions. It would produce a structural transformation of the American labor market and the American economy." The Federal Job Guarantee

"Generative AI tools enjoy the labor of human creators, without paying for it. For those who believe that the responsible development of generative AI is a worthwhile cause to pursue, with immense potential, this Article offers a path forward in the form of the doctrine of unjust enrichment. It offers a legally responsible way for humanity to continue enjoying the advantages offered both by human creation and computer-powered generative AI." Generative AI Training as Unjust Enrichment
