Gina Raimondo believes the U.S. must lead the global AI competition, which requires both technological superiority and a strategy to support the American workforce.

Gina Raimondo warns that if the U.S. fails to manage the workforce transition from AI, it could lead to high unemployment, political and economic unrest, a deep recession, and a regulatory backlash.

Meta Platforms has launched a program to provide paid training, certification, and jobs for Americans to build skills for the AI economy.

Gina Raimondo advocates for new training initiatives, incentives for companies to redeploy workers, and an enhanced safety net to help people transition between jobs due to AI disruption.

Gina Raimondo believes that while AI will eventually create new jobs, there will be a difficult transition period where many Americans could be negatively impacted without proper support systems.

Gina Raimondo argues that failing to create a workforce plan to manage AI's impact could lead to high unemployment and political unrest, causing the US to lose the AI race with China.
