Economic Development Team

Diagnosis: Across the economy, business leaders and entrepreneurs are under immense pressure from banks and investors to integrate AI into every facet of their companies. The widely understood goal is to replace human workers with machines. Some business leaders think this is wise and good; others disagree, in part because their customers don’t actually want to use AI. A schism is brewing.

Team mandate: Create a national business hub for companies that put people before AI. Recruit businesses from around the country that have been sidelined by investors and bankers who bet everything on AI. Rip a page out of the Silicon Valley playbook and race to develop a self-reinforcing labor pool of the smartest, most ambitious professionals who put people first. Establish New Athens as the top destination for new grads looking for adventure and money, akin to Wall Street in the 80’s and 90’s and Silicon Valley since.
