Skill Evolution
According to Joseph Fuller, a professor at Harvard Business School, AI is changing America's job market. It brings risks of losing jobs but also new chances. This is a key time for the US to lead in AI and create a fair economy.
As AI changes jobs, a system to help people choose careers is crucial. It's vital to aid workers, especially in overlooked communities, to adjust and do well in this new situation.
