He contends that creating prosperity for all Americans, not just highly educated workers, requires bringing manufacturing jobs back through the AI industrial revolution. Nvidia is helping build $500 billion in AI infrastructure in the U.S. and plans to leverage its position to make America the global AI manufacturing hub. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
