“A recent report from the Center for Democracy and Technology found four main risks that increase as schools adopt AI more widely: cyber attacks, bullying, technology malfunctions and troubling interactions with chatbots.”

Data centers use massive energy and water. Here’s how to build them better f-st.co/rznXlIV

And read more about the study at Civics of Technology:

Parts of the Constitution were erased from the Library of Congress website, including the section featuring the foreign emoluments clause. The removal was blamed on a "coding error." Here's a reminder of what the clause says, just in case Congress ever decides to enforce it...

For a related empirical study, see this work from Melissa Warr and @mariekheath.bsky.social. "Findings reveal that LLMs exhibit implicit biases, such as assigning lower scores when students are said to attend an 'inner-city school' or prefer rap music."

Besides the automated racism, the "report also identified instances when AI teacher assistants generated lesson plans that relied on stereotypes, repeated misinformation, and sanitized controversial aspects of history." 🤖

A “woke-free” AI plan is not neutral; it is a blueprint for perpetuating the inequities the US has long struggled to overcome, writes Danielle Adrianna Davis, Esq., Director of Technology Policy at the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies. buff.ly/xR3PDZW

AI is reshaping how we live, learn & work—now. The Blueprint for Action calls for bold steps to embed AI literacy in every learner’s journey. Grounded in SoLD, UDL & learning science, it charts a path for federal, state & local action. www.edsafeai.org/blueprint-fo... #AILiteracy #EDSAFEAI
