Workforce Transparency Act of 2026

This bill would let companies that make or use artificial intelligence (AI) systems choose to send the Department of Labor combined, anonymous data about how their AI is used, such as by task type, state or metro area, adult age range, and changes over time. Submitting data would be voluntary, and federal agencies could not hold it against companies that choose not to take part. Submissions could not include personal data, trade secrets, or information protected by contracts, and the data would be exempt from Freedom of Information Act requests. The Department of Labor would run a public online database, report to Congress each year, issue guidance and rules within 180 days, and form a working group on data about AI and entry-level workers. The Secretary of Labor could go to court to stop knowing and willful misrepresentation of submitted data.
