A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
This piece was posted by accident. We flagged it internally because we liked it so much, but it is not about Illinois specifically, and we usually don’t post such things. But no surprise that you readers like it. Here is another one by same author on the same topic: https://lawliberty.org/edexit-we-shouldnt-let-the-education-crisis-go-to-waste/

Thank you for putting this up on Wirepoints. It gives an accurate description of the likely results of public education, given the current direction. But also some hope for the future of society. I was surprised to see that it was written by a Harvard professor. Maybe the tide is starting to turn.
