As we usher in a new year, we have a golden opportunity for American AI to flourish around the world. Not since the invention of electricity has the United States had the opportunity it has today to harness new technology to invigorate the nation’s economy. In many ways, artificial intelligence is the electricity of our age, and the next four years can build a foundation for America’s economic success for the next quarter century. At Microsoft, we see a three-part vision for America’s technology success. This starts with advances and investments in world-leading American AI technology and infrastructure. Second, we need a national strategy to equip people across the country with the skills needed to use AI to pursue higher-paying jobs and more successful careers. Finally, the United States must focus on exporting American AI securely and broadly to our allies and friends, bolstering our domestic economy and ensuring that other countries benefit from AI advancements. The country has a unique opportunity to pursue this vision and build on the foundational ideas set for AI policy during President Trump’s first term. Achieving this vision will require a partnership that unites leaders from government, the private sector, and the country’s educational and non-profit institutions. At Microsoft, we are excited to take part in this journey. https://lnkd.in/eF6TvW55
