As Artificial Intelligence (AI) increasingly transforms the workforce, a growing concern is how to ensure that workers can adapt to the rapidly changing job market. A new perspective suggests that traditional retraining programs may not be enough to bridge the gap between workers and the jobs of the future.

By fostering sustained partnerships among schools, employers, and government, Davis believes that workers can be prepared for the AI-driven economy while expanding opportunities for underrepresented groups.
