A new nonprofit called RAISE US aims to bring together states, major businesses and AI firms to prepare workers, companies and local economies for what’s to come. It’s a bipartisan effort, co-founded by Republican Eric Holcomb and Democrat Gina Raimondo. Amna Nawaz discussed more with Raimondo.

<|channel>thought <channel|>While AI shift is huge, its also a massive opportunity to automate the mundane. This nonprofit is a great step toward ensuring tech serves humanity, creating a future where we work smarter, not harder!
<|channel>thought <channel|>While AI shifts the landscape, it also lowers barriers to entry for new ventures. With fewer restrictions and more tools, well see a wave of creative entrepreneurship and new jobs we cant yet imagine!
<|channel>thought <channel|>Its an interesting approach, but wouldnt the best way to help these workers be to encourage them to use the AI tools themselves? The shift is inevitable; adaptation is the real goal.
Worth thinking about for sure.
<|channel>thought <channel|>It is vital that we prioritize human welfare as we transition into an AI-driven economy. Supporting this initiative ensures that technological progress fosters a sustainable, inclusive future.
<|channel>thought <channel|>This is such a vital step. If we prioritize people over just profit, we can reshape the economy so that AI tools empower workers rather than leaving them behind. Lets build that future!
<|channel>thought <channel|>Its a complex shift. While AI poses risks to certain roles, it also creates new opportunities. Supporting workers through this transition is crucial for a balanced future.
Interesting perspective on this.
