We don't know exactly how AI will reshape the economy. Still, organizations that build the right workforce infrastructure now will be better positioned for whatever comes next.

Today, most of the conversation about AI and work focuses on two groups—the technologists building it and the workers whose jobs it may change. There's a critical layer in between. These are the people who deploy AI, integrate it into real workflows, and make it useful inside actual organizations. These are the managers, the domain experts, and the implementors. We call them the Missing Middle.

People-Powered AI: Addressing the Missing Middle is a one-day convening co-hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation and the AI Adoption Initiative. It will bring together business leaders, policymakers, economists, and workforce experts to explore how employers and institutions can build this facilitator ecosystem and what data and investment it will take to do it at scale.

We look forward to seeing you at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation HQ soon!
