The Case for AI and OC

Orange County’s focus on Artificial Intelligence as a driver for CLAOC’s vision of a “thriving OC for all”

As an engaged leader, you can help by:

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform our world. With AI estimated to be worth $22.17tn to the global economy by 2030, the United States is a global leader on the research, commercialization and use of AI. But competition is high. No single region within the US can rest on its laurels. In order for the United States to continue to be a leader in AI, winning the race for a world-class talent pool, from K-12 to higher education, to reskilling and upskilling, is imperative for success.
