One Republican Now Controls a Huge Chunk of US Election Infrastructure Former GOP operative Scott Leiendecker just bought Dominion Voting Systems, giving him ownership of voting systems used in 27 states. Election experts don't know what to think.

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-...

How to invest in drones to profit from defense demand surge Both veteran broad-based aerospace companies and newer specialists are investing in unmanned aerial vehicles.

A decade ago, Rick Smith and Axon began exploring and investing in drone technology and drone companies. 10 years later, Wall Street is catching on that drones (and counter-drone defense) are critical to public safety and national defense.

OpenAI Researcher: Students Should Still Learn to Code | Entrepreneur OpenAI researcher Szymon Sidor said that even though AI coding tools like ChatGPT and Cursor exist, there is still value in learning how to code.

OpenAI researcher: reports telling students not to learn to code are total "misinformation." Should students still learn computer science in high school? “Absolutely!” #CSforAll

No, AI Isn’t Killing Computer Science. It’s Making It Essential By simplifying the task of coding, artificial intelligence has increased the importance of learning computer science. Another year, another viral tweet argues against “learning to code.

Past: learn computer science to code

Future: learn computer science, code with AI

Leadership at Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, Amazon, all agree

Thank you to The Information for publishing my OpEd on this topic, presenting evidence to answer the common questions I hear about coding and computer science in an age of AI.

No, AI Isn’t Killing Computer Science. It’s Making It Essential Another year, another viral tweet argues against “learning to code.” The latest one comes with cherry-picked data implying that art history majors outperform computer scientists in labor markets. Yet ...

Coding is dead. Long live coding!

As AI grows in its capabilities and societal importance, learning computer science is more important than ever.

Learn computer science: Code with AI.

Every country must protect its critical infrastructure and population centers from drone attacks. DeDrone by Axon is here to help — it’s #1 in drone defense.

Schools scramble to police AI cheating "I have to be a teacher and an AI detector at the same time."

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.

Mandatory AI Education For All U.S. Students? Top CEOs Say Yes In an open letter, America’s top CEOs say they want AI taught in every school. "We must prepare our children for the future — to be AI creators, not just consumers."
