AI is transforming the world, but ensuring it also responds to children’s needs and the systems that protect them, remains an open challenge. Please join UNICEF for a panel discussion on this important topic on July 18th in NYC.

Candidly I can say this is the most pessimistic I have felt about the outlook for the US in my adult life. Borne out of self-inflicted wounds, the trend seems to be further deterioration. Unfortunately it seems that things will only have to get worse before there is a necessary response for change.
“DOGE’s actions — firing technical experts, mishandling sensitive data, and breaking critical systems — contradict their stated mission of “modernizing Federal technology and software to maximize governmental efficiency and productivity”

Elon vibes resonating from the Twitter takeover in 2022 with this buyout announcement.
USDS was established over a decade ago to support the digital transformation of government. I know people who went through its rank and speak highly of them. This rebranding and loyalty purges is very bad news of things to come

This chart titled "The world has passed 'peak child'" shows the historical and projected population of three age groups: young people under 25 years, young people under 15 years, and children under 5 years. Data spans from 1950 to 2100, based on UN estimates and projections. The blue line represents the population under 25 years, showing steady growth until around 2050 when it starts to slightly decline. The red line represents those under 15 years, peaking around 2020, and then gradually declining after that point. The green line shows children under 5 years, which has largely plateaued since the 1990s and is projected to decrease over time. The chart indicates that the global number of children has reached its peak, and a long-term decline in younger populations is expected.

What the future of education was supposed to look like in 1910. Was this futuristic vision that far off?
As we end the year, some questions I ask myself about my own professional life:
Are you learning? Right now?
Do you have the right leadership?
Are you growing your skills?
Are you getting paid well enough?
Does it work well for your personal life (i.e., family)?
6. What are you going to `continue doing` next year?
7. What can you do today to `take the first step` in the direction toward making 2025 your best year yet?
2. What are the people, experiences and commitments that triggered negative feelings, energy and emotions for you this year?
3. What did you learn about yourself over the past year?
4. What are you going to `stop doing` in the coming year?
5. What are you going to `start doing` next year?
The end of year is a good time to reflect upon the past year and make plans for the new year. I ask myself (and write down answers to) a few questions for inspiration:
1. What are the people, experiences and commitments that created positive feelings, energy and memories for you this year?
Thank you for the opportunity.

I support those civil service members willing to brave the challenges ahead.
