Schools should teach AI to every child

> And yet, when it comes to AI literacy, we are still in the relative Dark Ages, where a limited group of priests and priestesses — engineers working in academia and tech — manage this knowledge for everyone else

Right.. AI is software and it's not yet capable of self-improvement and self-maintenance. "Learning AI" is in fact a subfield of computer science, and it may be a good idea to start there. If I'm charitable to the article it's about learning AI tools, not so much about creating AI models, especially since the point of AI will be to become an assistant that you can give commands with plain language.

Ultimately a person needs to sign off or filter what any media agent or LLM "says" in a class room. AI is a program made by people and not a creation unto its own liability where people can look to it and say, "it doesnt lie"
