We argue that an AI-economy workforce strategy must be grounded in regional economic development practices, be coordinated regionally among key stakeholders, address the needs for broad AI literacy as well as sector-specific applications, and evolve through continuous feedback loops.

Early input from pilot survey responses is discussed to demonstrate how complete survey data will allow the NJ AI Hub and its collaborators to translate findings into training and support for AI adoption, pilot workforce supports by sector, and institutionalize industry feedback loops, all to better align talent pipelines with the speed of AI's evolution.
