No political party or individual should control US voting infrastructure. This absurd problem has a simple solution: VotingWorks — the only nonprofit & open-source election provider.

Every state should replace Dominion/Liberty voting with VotingWorks. www.wired.com/story/scott-...

Schools of the past define AI use as “cheating.”

Schools of the future define AI skills as the new literacy.

Every desk-job employer is looking to hire workers who are adept at AI. Employers want the students who are best at this new form of “cheating.”

In the race to build more capable AI, the USA has lost its edge in attracting talent — it now loses as much talent as it attracts. Aside from reversing this multi-year trend, it’s another reason for all schools to teach computer science and AI to students locally.

In public safety, one thing that differentiates Axon is its commitment to responsible innovation. As drones, cameras, and AI are increasingly used to fight crime, I’m proud of how Rick Smith aims to use new technology as a force for good, upholding liberal-democratic principles.
