Humanity is good, not for one country is good.
The third part of the plan is something called the GI Bill for the AI age.
So why did I say that?
Because in 1944-45, there was about 15 million American service people coming back from World War II, and they were going to create a giant employment shock to the world because they're going to come in, they're going to be unemployed.
What did America decide to do?
The government says, hey, we're going to give you free education.
We're going to give you zero-interest loans, we're going to give you free medical, and then we're going to help you essentially buy homes, because that's what's needed for people to have secure lives.
And it created the American middle class.
It created a boom in our economy and turned us into what we are today, which is the most successful and most powerful nation in the world.
We can do that again, but not for 15 million people, maybe for 150 million people, maybe for 1.5 billion people.
because America has 170 million workers.
And the displacements that we are seeing is going to be the proportions that people are predicting.
It could get into 100-plus million people affected just in this country.
And globally, it will be billions of people.
And we have to take care of them, because if we don't, this world is not going to be a very good place for us to hang out in.
I think what you need to do is actually to start to change your mindset, to start to understand that the world is not zero-sum, and you actually have a responsibility as business owners.
Most of you guys own businesses or work in very senior positions in businesses.
You need to see about how does your company integrate AI, not in a way to replace people, but in a way to make things more efficient.
And rather than saying, I'm going to lay off 30 percent of my staff, which some companies are doing, because recently I've talked to 50 companies in the last two months about how they will implement it, and a lot of them are saying, I'm going to just replace my people.
giving them four-day work weeks, giving them reskilling to other places.
