AI will define the next decade of economic and geopolitical competition. Two things matter politically. First, the United States has to stay ahead of China in developing and deploying AI. That is a national security imperative. Second, we have to manage adoption so AI raises productivity and wages instead of hollowing out the workforce and pushing us toward 20 percent unemployment. Winning the AI race and protecting workers are not opposing goals. Getting both right is the job. #ai #illinois #democrat #politics
