OpenAI, Anthropic, Amazon, and Microsoft join Raimondo AI work task force

In short: OpenAI, Anthropic, Amazon, and Microsoft have joined a new task force led by Gina Raimondo to study how AI may change work and jobs.

What happened

The Special Competitive Studies Project (SCSP) and Nvidia have set up a Task Force on AI and the Future of Work, also known as Project Glasswing. The group includes major AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic, plus large tech providers Amazon and Microsoft.

The task force is chaired by Gina Raimondo, the former U.S. Secretary of Commerce. Reporting describes the project as focused on studying how AI affects employment, productivity, and workforce policy.

This effort is not about building new AI products. It is about producing policy and practical recommendations, like a study group that tries to answer, "What jobs change first, what skills will people need, and what should government and employers do next?"

Why it matters

AI tools are already changing office work, customer service, and software jobs, and they are starting to affect more fields. A task force like this can influence how worker training is funded, how companies plan for job changes, and what rules governments consider. For regular people, that can shape whether AI leads to smoother job transitions, or more sudden disruption.

Raimondo has worked on AI policy before, including efforts around AI safety standards and testing. This new group is different from those safety-focused programs, but it connects to the same big question, how to manage AI’s impact without leaving workers behind.
