RAISE US is a new bipartisan nonprofit organization dedicated to helping American workers transition to new careers as artificial intelligence (AI) continues to transform the job market. With over $500 million in funding, the group focuses on innovative education and training programs, collaborating with states and major employers rather than relying on federal government support. Founded by former Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and former Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb, RAISE US aims to pilot initiatives that prevent potential job losses due to AI-driven automation. Raimondo emphasizes the importance of these efforts to maintain economic stability and protect democracy, warning that significant unemployment could destabilize the country. The organization seeks to ensure that the economic benefits of AI are realized without causing harm to American workers.
