30,000 disabled workers die annually waiting for benefits, largely due to admin backlog. AI may be able to help. Roosevelt Think Tank Director Hannah Groch-Begley will join the National Academy of Social Insurance's new Task Force on AI, Emerging Technology, and Disability Benefits. "This task force is focused on the benefits and risks of AI systems, and works with reps from the Social Security Administration to tailor our recommendations in ways that are useful for them and prioritize people with disabilities. It may be the most important thing I end up working on," Hannah reflects. https://lnkd.in/gp8_NjVv

About us
The Roosevelt Institute, a New York-based think tank, promotes bold policy reforms that would redefine the American economy and our democracy. With a focus on curbing corporate power and reclaiming public power, Roosevelt is helping people understand that the economy is shaped by choices—via institutions and the rules that structure markets—while also exploring the economics of race and gender and the changing 21st-century economy. Roosevelt is armed with a transformative vision for the future, working to move the country toward a new economic and political system: one built by many for the good of all. We bring together thousands of thinkers and doers—from a new generation of leaders in every state to Nobel laureate economists working to redefine the rules that guide our social and economic realities. We rethink and reshape everything from local policy to federal legislation, orienting toward a new economic and political system: one built by many for the good of all.

Recently, columnist Matthew Yglesias argued that using workforce rhetoric to support #childcare policy no longer holds water for a variety of reasons, but Elliot Haspel thinks there's a larger framing issue when we talk about child care as a commercial good versus a national value.
