What’s Raise US’ $1 billion AI initiative? OpenAI, Microsoft, Amazon back plan to train workers for AI

Some of the world’s biggest technology companies have joined hands to help workers prepare for the changes artificial intelligence could bring to the job market. A new non-profit organisation called Raise US plans to work with US states to test new workforce policies, expand training programmes and help people adapt as AI reshapes industries.

The initiative has the support of the OpenAI Foundation, Anthropic, Amazon and Microsoft, which have joined as its founding partners. Raise US aims to raise $1 billion for the effort and says it has already secured $500 million, reported US media outlet Business Insider.
