The Case for Public Infrastructure
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an arrival technology. Arrival technologies rapidly reshape how we teach and learn and live, creating extraordinary opportunities and demanding that we confront critical questions about adoption, safety, and effectiveness. Our choices today will profoundly impact the future of education, our nation’s economic prosperity, national security, and society. EDSAFE’s goal is straightforward yet ambitious: to ensure AI innovations enhance learning outcomes, support educators, and build trust and literacy among families and communities. Proactive investments in public infrastructures for AI for education—including robust research and development, transparent testing and evaluation, and scalable and shareable data and computing resources—are essential to secure America's leadership in AI. Inertia and fragmentation currently pose serious threats to our future prosperity, economic security, and national strength. Only an ambitious response can overcome these limitations, prevent regulatory uncertainty and misalignment, and secure America’s technological sovereignty and global leadership. Our choices now will set the trajectory for generations, defining whether America continues to lead in global innovation or risks falling irreversibly behind. We invite you to join us at this pivotal moment and commit to strategic actions that secure our economic prosperity, national security, and the well-being of all learners.
