BTCCSquare news:
Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) CEO Jim Farley has drawn unexpected connections between blue-collar labor and artificial intelligence development, sending shares up marginally in Monday trading. The automaker executive framed infrastructure jobs as critical to AI's operational requirements—from power supply to semiconductor manufacturing—yet chronically underfunded in workforce training programs.
"These backbone industries don't materialize without skilled tradespeople," Farley noted, highlighting a growing disconnect between AI HYPE and physical infrastructure demands. His comments come as Ford increasingly positions itself in what it terms the "essential economy"—sectors providing foundational support for advanced technologies.
