The original spirit of the H1B was to bring in specialized talent. Over the years, it expanded into broader categories, sometimes including roles that could arguably be filled by local workers. Limiting it to frontier fields like AI, robotics, biotech, or advanced medicine could make sense in theory. But in practice, the tech industry relies on a wide ecosystem of skills. An AI researcher can’t function without software engineers, product managers, and systems architects. If you restrict visas only to “elite” categories, you risk creating bottlenecks that slow innovation. So the best approach might be a tiered system: prioritize emerging industries but still leave space for broader professions where shortages persist.
