The AI presents in the United States a generational opportunity of extraordinary innovation and growth. The deployment of AI will increase the American economy, will create jobs, will accelerate scientific advances and more. The fully realization of these opportunities requires an effort to quickly increase the capacity of the existing and sometimes outdated energy system of the country. This in turn requires accelerating innovation and investment in advanced energy technologies; Optimize the use of the existing grid and unlock the construction of new transmission infrastructure; And develop the workforce necessary to build new energy infrastructure.
Today, in a new newspaper entitled Suggest a new era of American innovationWe share 15 political opportunities. Many of these proposals have been incubating in political circles for some time, traveling a large base of stakeholders and are taken from the broader discussion of political options.
By unlocking advanced electrical resources and grid infrastructure, the United States would allow all electricity sources to contribute to a more reliable and more affordable energy future. They now require constructive public and private collaboration to move forward.
Beyond Google’s commitment to equip 1 million Americans with AI skills through the IA opportunity fundThere is a demand for commercial skills that can build electrical infrastructure. In particular, a shortage of electric workers can limit the ability of America to build the infrastructure necessary to support AI, advanced manufacturing and a transition to clean energy.
Based on years of provision of digital workforce development programs to people across the country, Google now announces support to train 100,000 electric workers and 30,000 new apprentices in the United States. With the financing of Google.org to the Electrical Training Alliance (ETA) – an organization created by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and the National Electrical Contractors Association – ETA will integrate AI tools into its study program and increase the number of apprentices on a national level. It will also provide apprentices access to Most of the Google AI Course to master the skills in AI.
With the support provided by Google, the ETA program aims to increase the 70% electric labor pipeline over the next five years. Of course, no organization can repair the expected deficit alone, but thanks to shared public and private efforts to introduce and support training programs like this, the United States can develop a training model for the next generation of work.
