"Across America, two forces are shaping the next generation. One is the rapid advance of AI and the companies building it. The other is the daily work of education: the teachers, parents and students who will inherit this transformation. Together, they define our future. The question is whether we will let these worlds drift apart or find the courage to bring them together."
"AI companies are racing ahead, training smarter systems and transforming every sector of the economy. Their work drives growth, generates jobs and strengthens America's competitiveness. Profit is not greed - it is proof of value creation, the engine that turns an idea into a global tool. Innovation has always depended on the freedom to build and take risks. Yet as these systems enter classrooms, we are reminded that children are not test subjects or data points."
San Jose launched a program called 'AI for All' to prepare residents for a major technological shift and ensure artificial intelligence is accessible. Two forces are shaping the next generation: rapidly advancing AI companies and the everyday work of education by teachers, parents, and students. AI drives growth, jobs, and competitiveness, but education must protect children, cultivate discernment, empathy, and critical thought. Builders and educators should collaborate: embed educators in AI product design, and integrate AI literacy and ethics into schools so students learn to challenge AI rather than copy it.
