Businesses and nonprofits are exploring ways to use AI to prepare workers for changing job markets. At the Ai4 2026 conference in Las Vegas, Goodwill Industries International CEO Steve Preston said the group is focusing on what AI means for people and employers. Goodwill plans to train job seekers in foundational AI skills such as how models work and how to use tools for tasks like financial analysis. It is not aiming to fill specialized AI roles. Preston noted that many open positions in healthcare and the trades will rely on AI tools. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects nearly 2 million healthcare openings in the coming years, while about 600,000 trade jobs remain unfilled. AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton said routine intellectual work such as call-center roles and paralegal tasks is likely to be replaced. Former presidential candidate Andrew Yang urged CEOs to be open about how AI is affecting their workforces.
