U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday asking federal government agencies to dedicate more resources and investment into research, promotion and training on artificial intelligence or AI.
Under the American AI Initiative, the administration is directing agencies to prioritize AI investments in research and development, increase access to federal data and models for that research and prepare workers to adapt to the era of AI.
A 2018 study from PwC said 30% of jobs are at potential risk of automation by the mid-2030s, including 44% of workers with low education.
