What should you study? The tech mogul says that in the wake of artificial intelligence (AI), "what will be needed in this futuristic society will be human interaction." These are skills and abilities that are less specialized or rooted in specific occupations and more aligned with personal attributes, skills related to your attitudes, and your intuitions.
Congress passed the bipartisan infrastructure bill to compete with growing countries with more robust and modern foundations, while ours are outdated or crumbling.
