China’s AI Kids
China has mandated “AI education” for every child. The reaction was immediate: China is pulling ahead. America is falling behind. Beijing is about to win the future. This rests on the old fantasy that central planning can mandate brilliance, as if it were a software update. But China’s record with mandates isn’t impressive. It’s lethal.…
