Can artificial intelligence deliver the prosperity, jobs, manufacturing growth, and technological leadership Americans are being promised—or is education being further transformed to serve an AI-driven workforce agenda? In this episode, Common Core Diva Lynne Taylor joins Tim Brown to examine the expanding connections between artificial intelligence, workforce development, manufacturing, education, technology investment, and federal policy. Their discussion follows the newly announced Foundry School initiative, Pax Silica, technology partnerships involving children, higher education, critical minerals, and the growing emphasis on preparing workers for an AI-powered economy. Taylor and Brown also examine President Donald Trump’s call to use the term “super intelligence” instead of artificial intelligence and question what changing government terminology could mean for existing documents, grants, public records, taxpayer costs, and oversight. Calling this economic promise a “prosperity gospel—educratic style,” the episode asks viewers to look beyond promises of technological prosperity and investigate how AI policy, education, workforce preparation, government spending, and international technology partnerships are becoming increasingly interconnected.

3) This article, from Britain, is an eye-opener, as far as the President’s decree that he, and he alone, mandates the shift from the words artificial intelligence to super intelligence:  https://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/trump-superintelligence-ai-regulation-china-b3055069.html

3b) By changing all US documents, what does this mean for the average taxpayer? https://www.americanactionforum.org/insight/the-hidden-cost-of-federal-paperwork/
By changing the name of AI to SI, will this mean the previous shows we’ve done featuring documents like the American AI Action Plan will become obsolete? What else can the changing from AI to SI do? Impact FIOA requests! Do you see a pattern here?! This also reduces government oversight! What about all those grants for technology to ‘beat China’ in AI that the states and private businesses received? Does this negate them? Alter them? Does this mean more taxpayer money for new grants?
What about education’s cost in this area? We already have exposed the ‘love affair’ by the US Dept of Education with regards to AI.

5) Knowing all this, let’s go back and look at the Pax Silica Declaration, just what did the US State Department and the Trump Administration commit us to, without our consent or knowledge? https://www.state.gov/pax-silica#declaration
