As AI transforms how we work, we need to be equally focused on expanding the opportunities people have to learn, adapt and succeed. I appreciate Sen. Mark Kelly advancing this important conversation.
When I flew off aircraft carriers and launched into space, we fixed problems before people got hurt. That's why I'm introducing the Make AI Work for Americans Act, which taxes the companies benefiting the most from AI and uses that money to invest in workers and give them more opportunities.

More than 200,000 students chose ASU during the past academic year. This milestone affirms what we have believed for more than two decades: Access and excellence are not mutually exclusive. A great public research university should advance both at scale.
