The Next Great American Mission: Invent the AI-powered Society that Works for All

What the world needs now is a way to build a thriving economy and society around artificial intelligence that works for everyone. America can and should lead the new way forward.

Excerpt: "The world needs a new way forward into the AI Age, one that makes the most of this world-historic, general-purpose technology and ensures it works for everyone on the planet over the course of the 21st century.

America needs a new grand mission, one that unites Red and Blue regions, urban and rural areas, working and elite people and gets the country back on track doing what it does best: inventing the future and leading the way forward.

We can meet both of these needs at once: All the key pieces are now in place to catalyze an explosion of AI innovation in America. It is the place best positioned to design and build the first economy and society that makes the most of intelligent machines in service — first and foremost, always and everywhere — to the well-being of all human beings.

This essay is going to sketch out in broad strokes the case for starting this mission as fast as possible.

The speed is warranted because this technology is going to scale faster than any previous general-purpose technology with the potential to fundamentally change the world."
