在AI威胁重塑他曾从事的蓝领工作之前，莱利·摩尔议员曾是阿巴拉契亚矿区的一名焊工。如今，随着这项技术迅速涌入职场，摩尔认为，它可以让像他这样的工人更安全、生产力更高，而非取代他们。
随着国会和企业在经济与国家安全担忧下，努力应对AI重塑职场的速度以及政府应扮演的角色，这位西弗吉尼亚州共和党议员已将这一观点传达给了卡车司机工会和其他劳工利益相关方。
“我最初的职业是焊工，我来自蓝领家庭——不仅我自己，我母亲的家族实际上也全都是焊工。AI代表着制造业积极进步的巨大潜力，但它也可能像我们所知的职场核弹一样，”摩尔周一在接受福克斯新闻数字频道独家采访时说道。
作为一个仍与采矿和制造业紧密绑定的州的议员，摩尔再次向卡车司机工会和其他劳工利益相关方传递信息，称AI应成为工人的“力量倍增器”，而非仅仅取代他们。

摩尔表示，他更倾向于看到AI发展的“积极面”，如果这项技术能够补充而非取代蓝领劳动力，那么它可能成为美国经济及其工人的游戏规则改变者。
“我认为AI无疑能够延长特定行业工人的职业生涯。它还能让这些工作更安全，延长人们在不受伤的情况下工作的时间，同时还能提高效率，进而为美国国内创造薪资更高的工作岗位。”

“或者，它也可能是针对职场的核武器，可能会彻底消除我们所知的工作岗位，消除我认为作为人类真正至关重要的东西：人类的目标感——而工作无疑是其中的一部分，还有工作的尊严以及为公民社会做贡献。”
摩尔的选区包括79号和81号州际公路等主要商业干道，以及这位议员今年协助开通的新跨阿勒格尼美国48号公路。他表示，历史上工会化的卡车运输行业可能会从AI中获益，但同时警告称，自动驾驶卡车可能会危及这一行业。
“我反对自动化卡车运输，但我支持将AI作为卡车运输的一部分，以提高道路安全性，保护司机安全并提升他们的生产力，”他说道，认为AI可以充当“副驾驶”，防范疲劳驾驶或其他人类固有的危险。卡车司机仍将保有工作，而事故多发的81号公路也可能变得更安全：
“这无疑创造了我们所追求的那种效率，但同时也尊重了相关人类和工人的尊严。”
宗教领袖也表达了类似的担忧，即AI会影响工作的尊严。教皇利奥十四世5月的通谕中，为AI时代考量了两种圣经模式：“建造巴别塔”，或是效仿尼希米重建耶路撒冷城墙。
“我们当然想成为尼希米，”他说。
在工会努力应对AI对其工人的潜在影响之际，摩尔也已与卡车司机工会进行了交谈并会面。卡车司机工会的发言人拒绝进一步置评，但称赞了摩尔在活动中的亮相。
利用AI改善工作流程效率可以提高薪资，而美国在AI领域的领导地位可能有助于对抗中国在AI“军备竞赛”中日益增长的主导地位。

支撑这项技术的数据中心也成为摩尔选区和全美各地争议的焦点。
在距离华盛顿特区不到100英里的东部狭长地带，以及更西部塔克县的高海拔森林地区，居民和地方领导人仍在就数据中心的到来展开辩论——这类数据中心已开始在更东部地区大量涌现。

摩尔表示，有三个重要问题：数据中心是会自行发电还是依赖当地电网，它们是会耗尽公共水资源还是使用“闭路循环”冷却系统，以及社区是否希望它们落户当地。

关于数据中心带来的税收收入能否与社区担忧相平衡的激烈辩论仍在继续。

“我认为作为共和党人，我们当然信奉联邦制，允许那些社区自行决定是否要在自家后院建设数据中心，”他说。

Welder turned lawmaker sees a ‘nuclear bomb for work’ — and a chance to help blue collar Americans

Before AI threatened to reshape the kind of blue-collar work he once did, Rep. Riley Moore was a welder on an Appalachian mining operation. Now, as the technology races into the workplace, Moore argues it could make workers like him safer and more productive rather than replace them.
The West Virginia Republican has taken that message to the Teamsters and other labor stakeholders as Congress and businesses grapple with how quickly AI should reshape the workplace and how much of a role government should play amid economic and national security concerns.
“I started my career off as a welder and I come from a blue-collar background, not just myself, my mother’s family [were] all welders, actually. AI represents a massive potential for positive advancements in manufacturing. But it also represents potentially the nuclear bomb for work as we know it in the world,” Moore said in an exclusive interview Monday with Fox News Digital.
Representing a state still closely tied to mining and manufacturing, Moore has taken his message to the Teamsters and other labor stakeholders, arguing that AI should become a “force-multiplier” for workers rather than simply replace them.

Moore said he leans toward finding the “positives” in AI development and that, if the technology can complement blue-collar labor rather than replace it, it could be a game-changer for the U.S. economy and its workers.
“I think AI certainly has the ability to extend the longevity of a worker in a particular trade. It can also make those jobs safer. It can extend the time period in which somebody can work without injury. And it can also create better efficiencies, which then can also better paying jobs here in this country.”

“Or, it’s the nuclear weapon [against] work, it could potentially eliminate jobs as we know it and get rid of what is really critical, I think, to being a human being: which is human purpose, which work is certainly part of that and the dignity of work and contributing to civil society.”
Moore’s district includes major commercial arteries like Interstates 79 and 81 and the new Trans-Allegheny U.S. 48, which the lawmaker helped open this year. The trucking industry, historically unionized, could benefit from AI, he said, while warning that self-driving rigs could endanger the trade.
“I’m against automated trucking, but I am in favor of having AI as part of trucking to make the road safer and keep that driver safer and make them more productive,” he said, considering AI could act as a “co-pilot” to protect against drowsy driving or other dangers that come from being inherently human. The trucker would remain employed, and crash-prone 81 could become less so:
“That creates the types of efficiencies that we’re looking for, certainly, but then also respects the dignity of the human being and the worker who is involved in it.”
Religious leaders have expressed similar concerns about AI’s effect on the dignity of work. Pope Leo XIV’s May encyclical considered two biblical models for the AI era: “constructing the Tower of Babel” or following Nehemiah in rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem.
“We certainly want to be Nehemiah,” he said.
Moore has also spoken with and met with the Teamsters as unions grapple with AI’s potential effect on their workers. A Teamsters spokesperson declined additional comment but praised Moore’s appearance at the event.
Using AI to improve workflow efficiencies could raise wages, while U.S. leadership in AI could help counter China’s growing dominance in the AI “arms race.”

Data centers powering the technology have also become a point of controversy in Moore’s district and around the country.
In the Eastern Panhandle, within 100 miles of Washington, D.C., and in the high-elevation forests of Tucker County farther west, residents and local leaders continue to debate the arrival of data centers that have already begun proliferating farther east.

Moore said the three important questions are whether data centers will produce their own energy or rely on the local grid, whether they will siphon off public water or use “closed-circuit” cooling, and whether the community wants them there.

“I think as a Republican, we certainly believe in federalism and allow those communities to be able to have input of whether they’re going to have a data center in their backyard or not,” he said.
