Comment by Gina Raimondo

The United States is on track to win the AI race — and hollow itself out in the process. Slowing AI innovation isn't the answer. We need a new grand bargain between the public and private sectors — where employers are held responsible for defining skills essential to the A.I. economy and creating pathways into jobs, and the government invests in the training, incentives and safety nets that help workers move quickly into them.

Verification History

AI Verified Quote attributed to Gina Raimondo, year 2026. Source URL (dnyuz.com/2026/03/22/bracing-for-the-a-i-economy-to-come/, a republication of her New York Times op-ed) returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but a web search confirmed the quote verbatim — "The United States is on track to win the AI race — and hollow itself out in the process" and her call for a "new grand bargain between the public and private sectors" — from her March 2026 op-ed of that exact title. Author attribution correct (note: her bio lists "U.S. Secretary of Commerce" but she is the former Secretary; the quote itself is correctly attributed). Year 2026 current. Vote alignment correct: statement "The economic gains from frontier AI should be shared with every person on Earth" is voted "for," consistent with Raimondo's argument for broadly distributing AI's economic gains via worker training pathways and safety nets (note: her proposal is US-focused rather than literally global, but the directional support for sharing AI's gains supports a "for" vote). · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1d ago
