New $500 Million Initiative Aims to Prepare U.S. Workers for AI-Driven Job Disruption
The nonprofit will pilot training programs and incentives with states and employers as economists warn AI could eliminate 25 million U.S. jobs.
- Former Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and former Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb launched RAISE US today, a bipartisan nonprofit backed by more than $500 million to retrain American workers for AI-era jobs.
- Experts warn that AI could reshape half of U.S. jobs, with the Boston Consulting Group projecting up to 25 million positions could be eliminated over the next five years as automation accelerates.
- Initial programs will pilot in Arkansas, Connecticut, Maryland, and Utah, alongside corporate anchor partners including Amazon, Microsoft, Anthropic, the OpenAI Foundation, and Bank of America.
- Raimondo, serving as CEO, intends to use states as vehicles for testing policies that Congress can later adopt, citing skepticism about bold federal action on workforce retraining.
- While President Donald Trump remains optimistic that AI-driven data centers will create jobs, Bureau of Labor Statistics figures report manufacturing shed 68,000 jobs and trucking cut 28,300 since his second term began.
