In a national first, New Jersey is consulting workers in the state about generative artificial intelligence. Given the technology’s potential to transform the nature of work and the skills needed to succeed, the State of New Jersey’s Artificial Intelligence Task Force seeks to hear directly from workers about their hopes and concerns about the technology. The results will inform the Task Force’s recommendations to the Governor.
The survey, available at NJ.gov/aisurvey, asks residents to provide their input on what they believe are the most important challenges and opportunities when it comes to artificial intelligence in the workplace.
The online engagement will be available until August 7 and uses All Our Ideas, a unique platform developed in New Jersey. Participation is anonymous and the survey is accessible via mobile phone or computer.
The New Jersey AI Task Force was established by Governor Murphy through Executive Order No. 346 to analyze the potential impacts of AI on society and to prepare recommendations to identify government actions encouraging the ethical use of AI technologies.
The survey of New Jersey’s private-sector workforce comes on the heels of the AI Task Force’s comprehensive survey of public-sector employees’ knowledge, attitudes, and interests around AI. That engagement informed the AI training for State workers that was launched in early July, which was timed with the rollout of the NJ AI Assistant, a generative AI-powered platform for New Jersey State employees to safely and responsibly improve government services and operations.
