Bipartisan $500M AI-Reskilling Push Aims to Save Jobs
A bipartisan group called RAISE US launches with $500 million from AI companies and other donors to retrain workers displaced by AI, led by former governors Gina Raimondo and Eric Holcomb. The pilots will roll out in several states, testing things like expanded service-year opportunities and updated unemployment-insurance for entrepreneurs, as part of a broader effort to ease the AI-driven transition without federal ownership or tax-overhaul proposals. The board includes labor and business leaders, with major donors such as Anthropic, OpenAI, Amazon, Microsoft, Bank of America, GM and Lilly, and the group plans to raise up to $1 billion overall.
