How does RAISE-UP propose to pay for all this?

 

RAISE-UP’s proposal to create jobs for everyone and to use AI to make education, housing, and healthcare affordable for all is based on one simple idea: we can do better—for people and for our shared future. Investing in these foundations of human flourishing should be a national priority. AI can be an extraordinary tool to help us achieve it—not by replacing people, but by making both government and the private sector work more efficiently, transparently, and responsively for the common good.

​

RAISE-UP is not prescribing a single public policy or funding model. Instead, we believe the question of how to pay for it must be decided together—through a transparent and democratic process that includes the private sector, government, universities, and the American people. Together, we can determine how to reinvest the enormous new wealth created by AI so that it serves everyone—not just a few.

​

As AI unlocks trillions of dollars in new value each year, we have a historic opportunity to use that prosperity to strengthen our society: creating good jobs, reducing inequality, improving how public services are delivered, and expanding access to essential needs like education, housing, and healthcare. Let’s use this moment to ensure AI becomes a tool for shared prosperity—a future where innovation serves people first, and no one is left behind.
