so I can read the story to you.

So for decades, young people were told to go to college with white-collar jobs and like coding, cast as the future.

But as AI disrupts that career path, skills trades are emerging as a more resilient route to stable, well-paying jobs.

And Lowe's is betting heavily on the future.

The home improvement giant exclusive told Fortune that its foundation is investing $250 million over the next decade to help 250,000 skilled trade workers in a field like plumbing, carpentry, and electrical work.

We're a company that believes strongly in the future of AI, but in a world where administrative and analytical occupations are going to be increasingly dominated with the acceleration of AI, we think the skill trade initiative is going to be even more important here in the near future, Ellison,

told Fortune magazine, AI, he noted, has clear limits.

It can write code, draft emails, analyze spreadsheets, but it cannot show up to fix what's broken or build a physical infrastructure such as data centers that powers the future digital economy.

As powerful as AI will become, AI cannot climb a ladder to change the battery in your smoke detector

And Ellison said, it can't change your furnace filter.

It can't clean your dryer vent.

It can't repair a hole on your roof.

And the man's got a point.

Marvin Ellison, if you want to pull it up, Rob.

Marvin Ellison, the CEO of Lowe's, right here.

Great family guy.

Came from a very good family.

His mom and dad, incredible family.

His brother, both very successful.

He's been there for quite some time, I believe.
