Artificial intelligence is transforming the economy at a remarkable speed. Advanced manufacturing is returning to the United States. Biotechnology, quantum computing, and other emerging technologies are creating the industries that will shape the next generation of economic growth. Recent tax reforms encouraging capital investment, restoring research and development expensing, and strengthening advanced manufacturing will help accelerate that transformation.
Those policies matter, but capital investment alone will not determine America’s success. Every investment in technology should be matched by an equally ambitious investment in the people who will deploy it.
America has a strategy for building tomorrow’s industries. Now it needs an equally ambitious strategy for building tomorrow’s workforce. The challenge before us is not creating opportunity. It is preparing enough Americans to seize it.
