I couldn’t make it to Davos this year, but I’m delighted to see that my message has. Here’s an enlightening exchange between two of the most successful businessmen in the world, Jensen Huang and Larry Fink, regarding the impact of AI on skilled labor. I watched it lie this morning, as I waited for the coffee to kick in. https://bit.ly/4k01Z5a The entire clip is 30 minutes, but I’ve attached a short clip wherein Jensen, the CEO at NVDIA, talks about “the greatest infrastructure project in the history of mankind,” and the opportunities for those entering the skilled trades today.
Obviously, our workforce is nowhere near ready for what’s coming. In fact, we’re not ready for what’s already here. We’re going to need to dramatically rethink the way we train the men and women who will build the infrastructure in question, and the speed with which we do so. I’m heartened and encouraged to see Silicon Valley at the table, along with the current administration, who seems determined to reinvigorate the skilled trades by whatever means necessary.
At this point, it’s only a matter of national security…
