>3/18 24: Similarities between Electronic Computers and the Human Brain: Thank you Jensen Huang for best week of Learning since John Von Neumann shared with The Economist 1956 notes Computer & The Brain
HAPPY 2024: in this 74th year since The Economist started mediating futures of brainworking machines clued by the 3 maths greats NET (Neumann, Einstein, Turing) people seem to be chatting about 5 wholly different sorts of AI. 1BAD: The worst tech system designers don't deserve inclusion in human intel at all, and as Hoover's Condoleezza Rice . 2 reports their work is result of 10 compound techs of which Ai is but one. Those worst for world system designs may use media to lie or multiply hate or hack, and to perpetuate tribal wars and increase trade in arms. Sadly bad versions of tv media began in USA early 1960s when it turned out what had been the nation's first major export crop, tobacco, was a killer. Please note for a long time farmers did not know bac was bad: western HIStory is full of ignorances which lawyer-dominated societies then cover up once inconvenient system truths are seen. A second AI ecommerce type (now 25 years exponential development strong) ; this involves ever more powerful algorithms applied to a company's data platform that can be app'd to hollow out community making relatively few people richer and richer, or the reverse. You can test a nation's use of this ai by seeing if efinance has invested in the poorest or historically most disconnected - see eg bangladesh's bklash, one of the most populous digital cash systems . Digital money is far cheaper to distribute let alone to manually account for so power AI offers lots of lessons but whether its good or not depends in part on whether there are enough engineers in gov & public service to see ahead of what needs regulating. There are 2 very good ai's which have only scaled in recent years that certainly dont need regulating by non engineers and one curious ai which was presented to congress in 2018 but which was left to multiply at least 100 variants today the so-called chats or LLMs. Lets look at the 2 very good ai's first because frankly if your community is concerned about any extinction risks these AI may most likely save you, One I call science AI and frankly in the west one team is so far ahead that we should count ourselves lucky that its originator Hassabis has mixed wealth and societal growth. His deep mind merged with google to make wealth but open sourced the 200 million protein databank equivalent to a billion hours of doctorate time- so now's the time for biotech to save humanity if it ever does. Alongside this the second very good AI graviates around Fei-Fei Li) in developing 20 million imagenet database so that annual competitions training computers to see 20000 of the most everyday sights we humans view around the world including things and life-forms such as nature's plants and animals. Today, students no longer need to go back to 0.1 programming to ask computer about any of these objects; nor do robots or and autonomous vehicles - see fei-fei li's book worlds i see which is published in melinda gates Entrepreneurial Revolution of girl empowerment
EW::ED , VN Hypothesis: in 21st C brainworking worlds how people's times & data are spent is foundational to place's community health, energy and so natural capacity to grow/destroy wealth -thus species will depend on whether 1000 mother tongue language model mediates intelligence/maths so all communities cooperatively celebrate lifetimes and diversity's deep data ) .

year of ed revolution -part 2 digital global cooperation UN

histiry 2016 at un hq saw first annual review of sdg4 education - sadly reports for most places wont happen in 21st C unless educators and tech unsiloise everything - 2 people satrted a movement - the next day 4 were uniting un hq ny and all tech and trade experts in geneva- sinec then the whole of UN2.0 sees global digital cooperation (thanks to ed tech networkers) as cornerstore of youth's ssutainability - see also https://www.un.org/techenvoy/

Global Partnership for Education

Here, we highlight the events where GPE is taking a leading or active role. All times below are in US Eastern Time (New York).

  • Time: 12:00 –13:00
  • Location: UNHQ - Room CR-12

Nearly 40 million children a year have their education interrupted by disasters and disease outbreaks following extreme weather events. Without immediate action to address the impacts of climate change, the global learning crisis is likely to intensify, especially for the most vulnerable children.

GPE Acting CEO Charles will attend this session, which supports the summit’s Action Track Five - Financing of Education.

The world is witnessing an alarming increase in the number of people affected by armed conflict, forced displacement, and other crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, education received only 22% of the funds requested, far less than other sectors. This session will present the Commitment to Action: Education in Crisis to transform how education services are provided during and after emergencies.

 
GENDER TRANSFORMATIVE EDUCATION: FROM RHETORIC TO ACTION
  • Organizers: El Salvador, Niger, Plan International, UNGEI, Transform Education, GPE
  • Time: 13:00–14:00
  • Location: UNHQ – ECOSOC Chamber

This session will focus on practical and impactful examples of gender transformative education and demonstrate how the power of education, from pedagogy to policy, can address and undo harmful gender norms and stereotypes and promote gender equality in schools, communities and societies. A multi stakeholder panel will share various facets of gender transformative education in practice and make a case for the kind of investments necessary to leverage the gender transformative power of education. 


TOWARD A NEW GLOBAL COMPACT FOR FINANCING EDUCATION (ACTION TRACK 5)
  • Organizers: Belgium, Fiji, Global Campaign for Education, GPE, World Bank, UNESCO
  • Time: 14:45-16:15
  • Location: UNHQ – Room CR-4

FROM POLICY TO ACTION ON GENDER TRANSFORMATIVE EDUCATION (Main program - Spotlight session)
