Now this is an interesting executive order promoting AI literacy. It creates a Task Force chaired by the Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Critically, it will:

• Creation of a White House Task Force on AI Education, coordinating efforts across the Departments of Education, Labor, and the National Science Foundation.
• Prioritization of teacher training grants, ensuring educators are equipped to integrate AI into classrooms.
• Expansion of AI-related apprenticeships, with states encouraged to use federal workforce funds to cultivate AI skills.
• NSF-led research initiatives, developing standardized AI courses and industry certifications for high schoolers.

The executive order establishes AI literacy—the ability to understand, use, and critically evaluate AI systems—as a national education priority. The first major initiative, a national AI challenge, is expected to launch within 90 days.

This initiative responds in part to China’s aggressive AI education push, where starting in 2025, children as young as six will be required to receive at least eight hours of annual AI instruction.

First task for the Task Force? Inform Linda McMahon that AI is not a steak sauce.

A bachelors from east Carolina university in French in 1969 doesn’t prepare you for hard core tech ?
