Investing in workforce, energy infrastructure and the policies needed to power the AI opportunity

Google is announcing a new paper and support for an effort to train 100,000 electrical workers and 30,000 new apprentices in the United States.

AI presents the United States with a generational opportunity for extraordinary innovation and growth. The deployment of AI will grow the American economy, create jobs, accelerate scientific advances and more. Fully realizing these opportunities requires an effort to rapidly increase the capacity of the nation's existing, sometimes antiquated energy system. This in turn requires accelerating innovation and investment in advanced energy technologies; optimizing use of the existing grid and unlocking construction of new transmission infrastructure; and developing the labor force needed to build new energy infrastructure.

Today, in a new paper titled Powering a New Era of American Innovation, we’re sharing 15 policy opportunities. Many of these proposals have been incubating in policy circles for some time, reach across a broad base of stakeholders and are drawn from the broader discussion of policy options.
