Gina Raimondo on AI will create a permanent underclass

Gina Raimondo

U.S. Secretary of Commerce

AI will create more jobs than it destroys

I believe AI will create new jobs and industries over time, but the transition could be disruptive, and it’s already underway. We shouldn’t fearmonger, but we can’t pretend our training and worker support systems are ready, either.
