RAMALLAH - DECEMBER 09: People walk through a market in central Ramallah on December 09, 2023 in Ramallah.

Can AI improve America’s unemployment safety net?

At a time of decreasing federal funding, states are increasingly interested in using artificial intelligence (AI) to assist in processing unemployment insurance applications and communicating with the public.
