AI Disrupts Workplaces, New Nonprofit Hopes To Aid Workers
The Associated Press reports that **RAISE US**, a new bipartisan nonprofit co-founded by former Commerce Secretary **Gina Raimondo** (Democrat) and former Indiana Gov. **Eric Holcomb** (Republican), launched June 25, 2026 with more than **$500 million** pledged for education and workforce training to help Americans displaced by AI. Anchor corporate partners include Amazon, Microsoft, **Anthropic**, the OpenAI Foundation, and Bank of America. The nonprofit will initially work with officials in Arkansas, Connecticut, Maryland, and Utah to pilot reskilling programs tied directly to employer hiring needs. An April BCG analysis cited by the AP estimated roughly half of US jobs will be reshaped by AI, with up to 25 million jobs potentially eliminated over five years; Goldman Sachs separately estimated a quarter of US work hours could be automated by AI.
