AI is plowing through the workplace. This new group wants to help people adapt and have jobs

The emergence of AI is reshaping the U.S. job market, prompting a new nonprofit called RAISE US to step in and assist those left jobless by automation. Co-founded by former Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and former Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb, the group has secured over $500 million to fund state-level education and training initiatives. With projections suggesting that over half of U.S. jobs will be impacted by AI in the coming years, RAISE US aims to bridge the skills gap and help workers transition to new roles, underscoring the urgency for proactive adaptation in a rapidly evolving economy.
