Even if your role isn’t automated, AI is already reshaping work—scanning resumes, monitoring productivity, and even analyzing moods and customer interactions. As tech giants race to embed AI everywhere, the human touch in service roles is under threat. But Alaska’s history offers a hopeful precedent: when tech disrupted labor, the state stepped in to protect workers with bold safeguards like the eight-hour day. Now, Congress is pushing to let federal law override state AI rules, potentially letting Big Tech off the hook for privacy, job impacts, and harm to kids—echoing past failures with social media. The future of work is uncertain, but states must retain the power to set rules that protect their communities from unchecked tech influence.
