Can we prevent AI from automating our economic decline?
As the United States leads the global AI race, a significant risk of economic hollow-out looms. US Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo examines the threat of social unrest and disruption, proposing a long-term blueprint to protect the workforce.
In this presentation, Gina Raimondo, the US Secretary of Commerce and former Governor of Rhode Island, argues that the current trajectory of AI development could lead to significant economic disruption and social instability. She posits that because AI represents a '100-year technology,' the strategic response must be equally enduring.
Raimondo explores the tension between winning the technological race and maintaining a healthy domestic economy. She offers a concrete plan designed to prepare workers for the upcoming shifts in the labor market, aiming to prevent the United States from hollowing itself out during this period of rapid automation.
