Former Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb helps launch national organization centered on impact of AI on economy
The nonprofit has secured more than $500 million and will test retraining, apprenticeships and employer incentives with four state partners.
- On Thursday, former Republican Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb and former Democratic Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo launched RAISE US, a workforce initiative aimed at preparing American workers for an economy increasingly centered on artificial intelligence.
- The organization aims to mitigate labor market anxieties by implementing a bipartisan "people strategy," with Raimondo warning that failing to support workers during the AI transition could trigger an "automated decline."
- Backed by more than $500 million in corporate and philanthropic commitments, RAISE US is launching pilot programs in Arkansas, Connecticut, Maryland, and Utah to develop "concrete programs" for job transitions.
- Advisory members include AFL-CIO president Liz Schuler and leaders from major corporations like Amazon, Microsoft, and OpenAI, who are collaborating to ensure training systems keep pace with technological advancements.
- Organizers pledge to raise an additional $500 million soon while designing new apprenticeship models and corporate incentives to establish national standards for worker support in an AI-driven future.
