Freedom of Learning
AIED: We dont believe people should be teaching AI without reading Von Neumann's last booklet Computer and the Brain. He wrote this on his cancer deathbed in 1956; it was presented and published at Yale early 1957 by his second wife who was also one of the great coders of her era.
Awkwardly, I also dont believe people like the Bidens should be designing taxes, laws or pompously inhabiting biggest national governments without at least being most deeply aware of how girls and young mothers built the 8th most populous nation Bangladesh with virtually no resources than love for each others kids..
WILL AGENTIC AI COME IN TIME FOR THE SEXES TO CARE ABOUT EACH OTHER & FAMILY
One day, even in richest West nations, I dream that both men and womens greatest intelligence will be gravitated by love of developing/generating what kids need but until that day women may always bear the longer-term burden of being the child's deepest agent,
If Computer and the Brain is correct then AI is about maths of deep data mapping (eg starting with all the puzzles Einstein foirst posted 1905 with e=mcsquared) and advancing human emotional intelligent brain power ie what I have often (innocentky) assumed education's actiton learning is for from age 0 to whatever age a society wants all its kids to share freedom of learbing.
At Von Neumann Ning we currently play 2 intelligence games. One was started with support of Neumann's first wife Marina who died last year. Thats Von Neumann Halls of Fame. Currently we want to deepens 4 HofS

HoF3 People like King Charles supporting community sovereignty of AI applications to stuff our next generations most need elders to help celebrate. HoF3 also includes inspirations like Billie Jean King who has helped youth choose who to celebrate by helping groom some superstars who live a double life- brilliance in their sport, and lifelong purpose on something that matters to their family's roots. Back in 2004 i was privileged to meet 1000 Gandhians at the Indira Gandhi National Center of Arts whoch is within walking distance of both India's parliament and Delhi's YMCA where human mediatirs stayed. I only had one idea to contribute from my Western experience. Lets change media by designing University of Stars. How could we find a blossoming superstar one mentor for life as well as one puepose beyond her sport or money makers celebrities have to work with in advertising world of unkept promises. As a mathematician with my DAMPT Stats diploma from 1973 it has seemed we are living a race to help necxt generations accelerate learner-centric education faster than advertsising. We havent yet succeeded in doing that with intelligences 3 million fold multipliers

One of my deepest privileges 15 trips to Bangladesh to understand how women helped men change culture of landlocked vilages.
Fazle Abed said that his 47 years of second life supporting bangladesh nation building by poorest girls was inspired by paulo freire culture (the number 1 innovation in education made by the Franciscan segment of the Catholic faith) - see our attemts to connect abed university with every education sysmetm that had ever said they wanted to partner him at www.catholicuni.com. Abed died dec 2019- so first covid and the way the Un lost its way on the ground are chalenges we never got a chance to get his intelligence on. For those who dont know, the interesting thing about Abed's first life is in the early 1950s he had travelled to Glasgow thinking he wanted to be a ship builder but he ended up studying engineering and accountancy and by 1970 was shell oils regional ceo in east pakutsan - half a million people were killed in 1970 by a cyclone; perhaps as many again as Pakistan's colonial power tried to take back rulership only to be outlasted by the peoples independence revolution. Shell had ordered Abed to take Pakistan's side. So he had to escape back to london , sell his putney flat, get ready for vilage nation building when he returned to the noow new nation of bangaldesh- 8th most populos and according to kissing a basket case as it woned no minerals, being an easily flooded delta - it is the most interesting case of what girls inelligence can build from every cpmmunity action up
About
WHAT's DATA SOVEREIGNTY & WHAT CAN INTELLIGENCE DO? Today engineers can help peoples of any place be comparatively best at what their place on earth offers to generate. For example beautiful island might wam to be a toursist destination but overtime it (eg Galapagos) might want to develop intergenerational friendships so its teenagers can connect goodwill around the world as well as any skills eg medical or green energy the island most urgently need. Generations ago, Singapore did something different; its 6 million person poluation saw itself as at the cross-seas of world's first superport. It also gave back to region asean encouraging celebration of every peoples cultures and arts. It has aimed to be the 21st C most intelligent isle- where education is transformed by every 2nd grade teacher being as curious about what will ai do over the next 5 years as anyone else. Taiwan, addmitedly a 20 million person island, chose 1987 to become world number 1 as chip design changed to maximise customer requirements instead of the moores law era where at most one new chip a year would be designed in line with Intel's 3 decades of promising 100 times more capacity every decade.
In 2025, the vibrant aAInations index is one way of looking at where is place being led to maximise its peoples intelligence opportunities for evryone to win-win (network entreprenurially)

2025report.com aims to celebrate first 75 years that followers of Adam Smith , Commonwealth begun by Queen Victoria, James Wilson and dozens of Royal Societies, Keynes saw from being briefed 1951 by NET (Neumann Einstein Turing). Please contacts us if you have a positive contribution - we will log these at www.economistdiary.com/1976 www.economistdiary.com/2001 and www.economistdiary.com/2023 (admittedly a preview!!)
First a summary of what the NET asked to be meidiated to integrate trust during what they foresaw as a chaotic period.
Roughly they foresaw population growth quadrupling from 2 billion to 8 billion
They were most concerned that some people would access million times moore tech by 1995 another million times moore by 2015 another million times moore by 2025. Would those with such access unite good for all. If we go back to 1760s first decade that scots invented engines around Glash=gow University James Wat and diarist Adam Smith we can note this happened just over a quarter of millennium into age of empire. WE welcome corrections be this age appears to have been a hectic race between Portugal, Spain, France Britain Netherlands as probbly the first 5 to set the system pattern. I still dont understand was it ineviatble when say the Porttuguese king bet his nations shirt on navigation that this would involve agressive trades with guns forcing the terms of trade and colonisation often being a 2nd step and then a 3rd steb being taking slaves to do the work of building on a newly conquered land. I put this way because the NET were clear almost every place in 1951 needed to complete both independence and then interdependence of above zero sum trading games. Whils traidning things runs into zero sums (eg when there is overall scarcity) life critical knowhow or apps can multiplu=y value in use. Thats was a defining value in meidting how the neyt's new engineering was mapped. Of course this problem was from 1945 occuring in a world where war had typiclly done of the following to your place:
your capital cities had been flattened by bombing - necessitating architecture rebuild as well as perhaps an all chnage in land ownership
your peoples had gone through up to 6 years of barbaric occupation -how would this be mediated (public served) particularly if you were a nation moving from radio to television
yiu mifgt eb britain have been on winning side but if huge debt to arms you had bought
primarily you might be usa now expected by most outside USSR to lead every advance'
in population terms you might be inland rural (more than half of humans) where you had much the least knowledge on what had hapened because you had been left out of the era of connecting electricity and communications grids
The NETts overall summary : beware experts in energy will be the most hated but wanted by national leaders; and then far greater will be exponential risk is the most brilliant of connectors of our new engines will become even more hated and wanted. We should remember that the NET did not begin with lets design computers. They began with Einstein's 1905 publications; newtonian science is at the deepest limits systemically wrong for living with nature's rules.
WE can thrash through more understanding of how the NET mapped the challenges from 1951 at https://neumann.ning.com/ Unfortunatnely nobody knew that within 6 years of going massively public in 1951 with their new engineering visions, all of the net would be dead. One of the most amzaing documents I have ever seen is the last month's diary of von neumann roughly October 1955 before he became bedridden with cancer. All over usa engineering projects were receiving his last genius inputs. And yet more amazing for those interested in intelligence machines is his last curriculum the computer and the brain scribbled from his bedroom in bethesda and presented posthumously by his 2nd wife Klara at Yale 1957 before she took her own life about a year later. A great loss because while neumann had architected computers she had arguably been the chief coder. Just to be clear Turing also left behind a chief coder Jane who continued to work for Britain's defence planning at cheltenham for a couple of decades. Economistwomen.com I like to believe that the founders of brainworking machines foresaw not only that women coders would be as produytive as men but that they would linking sustainability from bottom up of every community. At least that is a valid way of looking at how primarily 1billion asian women batted the systemic poverty of being disconnected from the outside world even as coastal places leapt ahead with in some cases (G Silicon Valley, whatever you call Japan-Korea south-Taiwan-HK-Singapore access to all of 10**18 times moore

i lets leap froward from cop26 glasgow nov 2021 - 260th year of machines and humans started up by smith and watt- chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk-
WE APPROACH 65th year of Neumann's tech legacy - 100 times more tech decade - which some people call Industrial Rev 4 or Arttificial Intel blending with humans; co-author 2025report.com, networker foundation of The Economist's Norman Macrae -
my father The Economist's norman macrae was privileged to meet von neumann- his legacy of 100 times more tech per decade informed much of dad's dialogues with world leaders at The Economist - in active retirement dad's first project to be von neumanns official biographer - english edition ; recently published japanese edition - queries welcomed; in 1984 i co-authored 2025report.com - this was celebrating 12 th year that dad( from 1972, also year silicon valley was born) argued for entrepreneurial revolution (ie humanity to be sustainable would need to value on sme networks not big corporate nor big gov); final edition of 2025report is being updated - 1984's timelines foresaw need to prep for fall of brlin wall within a few months; purspoes of the 5 primary sdg markets were seen to be pivotal as they blended real and digital - ie efinance e-agri e-health e-learning and 100%lives matter community; the report charged public broadcasters starting with BBC with most vital challenge- by year 2000 ensure billions of people were debating man's biggest risk as discrepancy in incomes and expectations of rich & poor nations; mediated at the right time everyone could linkin ideas as first main use of digital webs--- the failure to do this has led to fake media, failures to encourage younger half of the world to maxinise borderless friendships and sdg collabs - see eg economistwomen.com abedmooc.com teachforsdgs.com ecop26.com as 2020s becomes last chance for youth to be teh sustainability generation
