Hey, I’m blogging again. My last blog was in June. I am completing research and writing a new book exploring the challenges presented by AI and machine intelligence and the evolution of our education system so that we prepare humans to use and control artificial intelligence.

WHAT MUST HAPPEN

by
Sessions must be removed as Attorney General of the United States. He openly lied to Congress many times at his confirmation hearing. These lies were televised and obvious to the American people. He is responsible for acts and statements of racial bias, not limited to his investment in privatizing prisons and incarcerating persons of color.…
