TIME named AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler to the 2026 TIME100 AI, a list recognizing the 100 most influential people in artificial intelligence (AI).

“I am honored to be included in this year’s TIME100 AI list—a recognition that belongs to every worker fighting for fair, safe and equitable jobs in the face of the AI revolution,” said Shuler. “We’re at the most important fork in the road our economy has faced in a hundred years. There is no worker and no industry this does not touch, and every job is now a technology job. But the labor movement has been here for every transformation of our economy, and we will build a future that works for all of us. Thank you to the team at TIME for recognizing labor’s essential role in the conversation about how we get there.”
