A statewide roadmap ensuring workers, employers and communities benefit from AI.
Unveiled at the 2025 Mackinac Policy Conference, the plan expands access to AI, digital and technical skills — while helping businesses adopt AI responsibly and competitively.
To understand how AI is reshaping Michigan’s economy today, we partnered with Michigan Works! to release a first of its kind statewide analysis on AI’s impact.
AI job demand is climbing across nearly all regions and industries, with fastest growth among small and mid-sized businesses.
Michigan workers report lower AI skill levels than the national average — reinforcing the need for widespread upskilling and tech training.
Roughly 10% of the workforce is in high AI exposure jobs, especially office and administrative support roles.
Healthcare shows the widest span of AI impacted roles, with both high- and low exposure occupations represented.
Employers now need workers who can use AI tools effectively, not just technical specialists — emphasizing leadership, communication, innovation and workflow management.
Higher education and training programs must adapt quickly, especially in fields tied to management and administrative roles.
We cannot wait for the future of work — we must prepare workers, employers and communities now to lead in an AI-driven economy and ensure opportunity reaches every region.
