Housing for Everyone

Housing must be at the heart of today’s transformations. To ensure everyone has a place to live, we should prioritize housing in every major decision. AI can be a force multiplier—helping us plan for reindustrialization, design lower-cost housing, scale modular construction, convert underused offices to homes, and streamline permitting.

A people-centered AI future means everyone has a home. By making it a national priority, we can build the safe, affordable, and prosperous communities at the core of the American Dream.

"The CHIPS and Science Act, enacted in August 2022, is a key element of the revival of U.S. industrial policy. We find that counties with pre-existing facilities experienced significant employment gains in the semiconductor sector relative to other counties with high-tech employment. We also find positive spillovers on employment in upstream input sectors and non-residential construction, representing an additional 185-225 jobs per county, but limited broader effects on total county employment or county-level GDP."

"AI could prove a powerful tool for detecting subtle patterns of racial discrimination or other bias in housing systems… [and] AI-based platforms are helping to streamline the permitting process, reducing delays and associated costs; AI is optimizing construction and design; and AI is identifying optimal locations for affordable housing development."
