The Ai Displacement & Veteran Retraining Act

A nonpartisan national workforce stability initiative. Hestia Ai wrote it and are championing it. The AI Displacement & Veteran Retraining Act is a bipartisan proposal designed to address one of the most urgent challenges facing America: the rapid displacement of workers by artificial intelligence and automation.

Overview

The Act creates a federally governed retraining fund dedicated to:

  • Support American workers at risk of AI-driven job loss
  • Prioritizing U.S. military veterans
  • Developing pathways into stable, future-proof careers
  • Providing emotional, educational, and vocational support during transition

Why this matters

AI is accelerating faster than most economic models anticipated. By 2028:

Key components of the act

1. A Federally Governed Retraining Fund
AI displacement crosses state lines, industries, and companies. A federal program ensures uniform requirements, national standards, and efficient resource deployment.

2. Tri-Chair Oversight Council
To maintain trust and neutrality, the Act is overseen by a three-person leadership structure:

  • 1 Republican representative
  • 1 Democratic representative
  • 1 nonpolitical Federal Reserve appointee

3. Dedicated Veteran Priority Pathway

  • Fast-track retraining options
  • Emotional and mental health support
  • Job placement partnerships
  • Partnerships with veteran-owned businesses

4. Public–Private Funding Model

  • AI companies
  • Major employers adopting automation
  • Federal matching
  • Public–private partnerships

What the act aims to achieve

Economic Stability
Prevent large-scale unemployment in states and sectors most at risk.

Support for Veterans
Honor service by ensuring veterans are never left behind in a technological shift.

Workforce Modernization
Give Americans a pathway into AI-aligned jobs — before displacement hits.

Emotional & Human Support
Technology can replace tasks, but it cannot replace identity. The Act ensures Americans receive dignity, guidance, and transition support — not abandonment.

Why this act is different

  • Nonpartisan by design
  • Protects workers without slowing innovation
  • Balances automation with human responsibility
  • Turns a destabilizing force into a national advantage
  • Models ethical, human-first AI integration
