What’s at Stake: Printable Handout

A Free Civic Resource from Future in Common

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

What This Handout Covers:

This clear, plainspoken one-pager explains how artificial intelligence (AI) is already showing up in our lives—and why that matters for jobs, rights, and democracy.

Perfect for voters, educators, and everyday community members, it uses real-life examples and people-first language to help you start conversations and build awareness.

What You’ll Learn:

• What AI really is (in plain terms)
• Where it’s showing up (schools, jobs, healthcare, housing)
• What’s going wrong—and who’s being left out
• How we can lead with values like fairness, voice, and safety
• A hopeful call to action for civic engagement

Who It’s For:

• Voters and educators new to AI issues
• Community organizers and grassroots groups
• Teachers, students, librarians, and civic clubs
• Anyone who wants to speak up and stay informed

Why It Matters:

AI is shaping decisions that affect our futures—often behind closed doors.

This handout helps bring those conversations into the open.

It’s built for clarity, action, and collective power.
