AI is plowing through the workplace. This new group wants to help people adapt and have jobs

A new bipartisan nonprofit called RAISE US has launched with over $500 million to help American workers adapt to job changes caused by artificial intelligence.

Funding for the initiative comes from a mix of philanthropic donations and government contracts. The organization plans to work with employers, unions, and educational institutions to develop training programs targeting industries most affected by AI, such as media, tech, and customer service.

The co-chairs emphasized the need for proactive measures to ensure workers are not left behind. Experts quoted in the article note that while retraining efforts are valuable, the scale of disruption may outpace current initiatives.
