If the Chinese hadn’t mandated AI education for all of their students, would this be happening right now?

Interesting to pair this with the "Removing Barriers" EO from January, and also Vance's speech at the AI Summit in France. There are so many teaching opportunities out of this order- close reading of language, rhetorical choices, suggestions about the role AI products do/should/may have in our students daily work lives...and then, by proxy, our questions to students about stated and implied ubiquity of AI products. Regardless of anyone's personal feelings and viewpoints about politics, at least we're teaching now into a phase with a public document on the topic.

IMO sounds like a paper response to the Chinese AI for all students so that the administration can say "look, us too"

It feels like a Cold War educational move, like happened after Sputnik, but done on the cheap.

Exactly. Let’s beat the Russians on a shoe-string budget.
