Honored to sit alongside @POTUS, @GavinNewsom, @WHOSTP to discuss the possibilities - and enormous risks - that #AI can pose to children and families. Bringing advocates, experts to the table is so important for the health of our democracy.

We've reached a majority, folks: 2 out of 3 people believe corporations would do better than colleges at educating people to succeed in their industries.
Public skepticism about higher ed & its relation to a 'rigged' economy, a Senate bill on ISAs, and an essay by Michelle Van Noy at Rutgers on the labor market's role in the debate over short-term Pell: getrevue.co/profile/the-job/…
Many words of wisdom here, @nytdavidbrooks! I especially love (and subscribe to) this one:

I often talk to founders who keep a low profile because they’re worried about hyping their startup too soon. I get it! Good news: hyping the problem/opportunity/category (by explaining it to the world) is always way more interesting and effective than hyping a nascent product.

Thanks for the thoughtful take, @michaelbhorn!
