Google Urges US To Update Immigration Rules To Attract More AI Talent
Wednesday May 1, 2024. 08:01 PM , from Slashdot
'There's wide recognition that there is a global shortage of talent in AI, but the fact remains that the US is one of the harder places to bring talent from abroad, and we risk losing out on some of the most highly sought-after people in the world,' Karan Bhatia, head of government affairs and public policy at Google, tells The Verge. He noted that the occupations in Schedule A have not been updated in 20 years. Companies can apply for permanent residencies, colloquially known as green cards, for employees. The Department of Labor requires companies to get a permanent labor certification (PERM) proving there is a shortage of workers in that role. That process may take time, so the government 'pre-certified' some jobs through Schedule A. The US Citizenship and Immigration Services lists Schedule A occupations as physical therapists, professional nurses, or 'immigrants of exceptional ability in the sciences or arts.' While the wait time for a green card isn't reduced, Google says Schedule A cuts down the processing time by about a year. Read more of this story at Slashdot.
