OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft Back Bill To Fund 'AI Literacy' In Schools

An anonymous reader quotes a report from 404 Media: A new, bipartisan bill introduced (PDF) by Democratic Senator of California Adam Schiff and endorsed by the biggest AI developers in the world -- including OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft -- would change the K-12 curriculum to shoehorn in "AI literacy," something that young people and teachers alike already hate in schools. The Literacy in Future Technologies Artificial Intelligence, or LIFT AI Act, would empower the new director of the National Science Foun

Как создавался этот документ.Это учебное пособие по функциональным уравнениям я не писал руками.

Like with other book-style foldables, Motorola Razr Fold’s biggest flaw is its price – indeed, in last week’s poll, the biggest group of voters was the one that gave the price tag a thumbs down.

After Empty Promises, Will String Theory Find New Uses?

Science magazine reports: For decades, string theory promised a "theory of everything" that described all particles and forces as tiny vibrating strings.

But as string theory grew increasingly elaborate — and experimentally unreachable — many physicists lost hope. Now, some researchers are revisiting the theory from first principles.
