E19: Workforce in the Age of AI: What Comes Next?
About this episode
In this episode, we explore how AI is reshaping the workforce system with Corey Jones, Chief of Policy and Planning for the Governor's Workforce Board of Rhode Island. Corey breaks down what this current "window of opportunity" with AI really means for workforce professionals—highlighting both the risks of job displacement and the potential for innovation, new career pathways, and expanded access. From analyzing labor market data in new ways to understanding which roles are most exposed (and which may grow), Corey offers practical insights on how workforce leaders can respond right now. He also shares actionable ways practitioners can begin using AI today—from career exploration to interview preparation—while emphasizing the importance of staying proactive, curious, and connected to employer needs.
