Healthcare
Artificial intelligence is increasingly shaping how US health insurers review claims and post-acute care. Lawsuits, congressional scrutiny and rising household costs are intensifying debate over automated healthcare decisions.
Economy
The American Opportunity Project brings governors and policy leaders together as rising federal debt, AI disruption and strained safety-net systems reshape working-family security. The initiative focuses on state-led solutions for workforce development, fiscal pressure and economic mobility.
Work & Labor
AI-driven labor-market disruption is exposing long-standing gaps in US unemployment insurance, particularly for gig workers, part-time workers and new entrants. The coverage gap can leave displaced workers with little financial runway to retrain or search for suitable employment.
Economy
The link between steady work and long-term wealth has weakened as labor income loses ground to capital, housing becomes less affordable, and job volatility increases. Urban Institute researchers argue that income support and asset-building policies must work together to restore economic security.
Future of Work
The 2026 wave of AI-driven restructuring is cutting white-collar jobs, weakening junior hiring and intensifying competition for comparable work. Economic research and Klarna’s automation reversal reveal how aggressive cost-cutting can also damage demand, service quality and long-term talent pipelines.
