Episode Details

This morning, former U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo launched RAISE US, an initiative to directly confront what she calls America's missing piece: a people strategy to match its technology strategy. Raimondo joins Rapid Response to explain how she built a $500 million war chest, secured bipartisan backing, and signed up launch partners from Bank of America to Anthropic before the ink was dry. She also makes the case against the two most popular answers to AI displacement — slowing down development and Universal Basic Income, and explains why neither will actually work. What will? A collective reinvention of how America trains, transitions, and values its workers. The window, she warns, is narrower than most people think.
