Published by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine in 2025, this consensus study report was congressionally mandated under the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act. An ad hoc National Academies committee examined AI's current and likely future effects on the U.S. workforce, covering displacement, augmentation, and policy recommendations.
As a formal National Academies consensus study, the report carries particular institutional weight in U.S. policy discussions, reflecting a structured, multi-expert review process rather than a single organization's independent analysis.
