New Jersey Launches Statewide AI Training Program for Workers

New Jersey Launches Statewide AI Training Program for Workers

The New Jersey State AFL-CIO, in collaboration with the New Jersey Department of Labor & Workforce Development (NJDOL) and Rowan College of South Jersey, has initiated a statewide artificial intelligence (AI) training program. This grant-funded program is designed to equip workers with the knowledge and skills to understand, utilize, and protect themselves from the potential risks of AI in the workplace. A key aspect of this initiative is its worker-centric approach, where union members actively contribute to shaping the curriculum and delivery methods. This ensures that the training directly addresses the concerns and needs of those who will be interacting with AI technologies in their daily jobs. The program aims to empower workers, allowing them to leverage AI for increased safety and productivity, while also understanding their rights and how to safeguard against unfair applications of the technology. Acting NJDOL Commissioner Kevin D. Jarvis emphasized that AI should serve as a tool to enhance human d...

Congressman Morelle Commends University of Rochester's NSF OPAL Project Advancement

Congressman Joe Morelle has praised the University of Rochester for a significant milestone in the NSF OPAL project, which has advanced to a construction-ready design phase. The project, led by the University of Rochester, received initial funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) to support this final design phase, with potential funding reaching up to $13.7 million. This funding is a crucial step towards the construction of a proposed two-beam, high-peak-power facility at the university, which is anticipated to become the world's most powerful laser system. The NSF OPAL project aims to provide a unique research environment, enabling the Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE) to lead in cutting-edge research and technology. It will focus on advancing high-shot-rate laser systems, integrating artificial intelligence and machine learning into facility operations, and training the next generation of laser scientists and engineers. The project is a multi-institutional effort involving the Univers...
