AI is an amazing tool for productivity, however, AI also poses threats to a high percentage of students with financial limitations (in conjuction with technology limitations such as: graphics cards, compatible PCs and other industry standard softwares). What will PCC do to help resolve this digital divide?

This is exciting, and in a good way, IF we really emphasize AI’s humane potential to bridge inequalities. Yet as Venkatraman said, “AI will create dislocations”.
To handle this threat, PCC & our partners must prioritize “humanistic AI” (a term popularized by Siri co-inventor Tom Gruber).
And so for this approach, is PCC being guided by the thought leaders in humane tech?
…such as: Tristan Harris at HumaneTech.com, Yuval Noah Harari (“21 Lessons for the 21st Century”), and especially Shoshana Zuboff of Harvard Business School. I strongly recommend her N.Y. Times piece, “The Knowledge Coup”, from late Jan.2021.
