United States of AI Ethical Policy - Made in America, Remade by AI: How to Build a Future-Ready Industrial Base That Works for Everyone

A Civic Brief from Future in Common

Part of the series: The United States of AI: An Ethical Policy Platform for American Workers

Suggested Price: Pay What You Can ($5+ recommended)

What This Brief Covers:

The American industrial base is being reshaped by artificial intelligence—across factories, supply chains, energy grids, and defense. But too often, that transformation serves profit margins, not people.

This brief offers a bold, worker-centered vision for rebuilding our industrial future: rooted in equity, innovation, and national resilience.

What You’ll Learn:

• How AI is transforming manufacturing, logistics, and industrial policy
• The risks of allowing automation to outpace public planning
• What it means to build an industrial base that serves both workers and climate goals
• Policy recommendations for a fair, future-ready American economy

Who It’s For:

• Economic development leaders and policymakers
• Labor unions, trade workers, and community organizers
• Civic educators and students of industrial policy
• Anyone invested in a just economic transition

Why It Matters:

We can’t rebuild America without rebuilding for the people who make it run. In the age of AI, our industrial strength should be measured not only by what we produce—but by how many people it uplifts. This is our chance to remake what “Made in America” really means.
