I've been dumping my daily videos into this feed and calling it a podcast. Let's be honest , that's lazy.The episodes were not built for audio. It wasn't built for you. And it shows.So I'm starting over and getting back to basics. Creating what a dedicated podcast should be all about. Today's episode is about AI in education and a study out of Hong Kong that actually made me stop and think. Not about tools, bit about the role people play as AI moves forward. This is about how we teach, how we think, and why soft skills matter more than ever.You ready? Let's go!!!Harrison PainterSource: https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.23326

AI isn't just shaping our future, it's now caught in the middle of America's culture wars. On July 23, 2025, former President Donald Trump signed an executive order to ban what he calls “woke AI” from federal government use. The order directly challenges how companies like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic design their AI models, raising questions about bias, truth, and the role of ideology in technology.What HappenedTrump issued an executive order called “Preventing Woke AI in the Federal Government.”It prohibits federal agencies from using large language models (LLMs) that incorporate what the order labels as “diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) bias.”The policy establishes two “Unbiased AI Principles”:Agencies have 120 days to comply with procurement guidelines that enforce these rules.Why It MattersThis order isn't about regulating private AI tools directly but redefines what kind of AI the federal government will purchase. For companies that rely on federal contracts, it forces a choice:Adjust their models to meet the “neutrality” test, orRisk losing access to lucrative government deals.It also creates a sharp contrast with Biden's 2023 AI Executive Order, which emphasized safety, fairness, and civil rights protections, including DEI principles.How It Impacts YouIf you run a business using AI tools: Expect potential shifts in how vendors design their models, particularly if they aim to align with federal standards.For tech companies: Compliance requirements may increase, with potential audits or transparency demands around how bias is handled in AI systems.For marketers and executives: This could reshape AI-generated content, especially when accuracy and neutrality are prioritized over cultural or inclusive representation.Three Key TakeawaysGovernment AI contracts will favor “neutral” models, potentially pushing major vendors to release alternative, compliance-focused versions of their tools.The order frames DEI as a source of bias, which could set a new precedent in how AI ethics are defined and debated in the U.S.Businesses may see ripple effects if vendors update or limit AI features to align with these federal requirements.One More ThingThis is more than an AI policy. This is a sign of how deeply politics and culture wars are shaping the technology we use every day. The bigger question isn't just whether AI is “woke” or “neutral,” but who decides what counts as truth?~Harrison PainterAI Expert Trainer

The U.S. Department of Education just proposed something bold — a new funding priority that centers equity in AI education.In this episode, we break down what this proposal really means, who it affects, and why it could shift how AI shows up in schools, prisons, nonprofits, and beyond.We'll talk about:Why AI literacy is the new DEIWhat rural schools and under-resourced communities need mostHow to rethink your AI projects through an equity lensAnd the question we all need to ask: who are we building for?This isn't about politics. It's about power, access, and what kind of future we're building.Let's make sure no one gets left behind.

OpenAI's new executive says AI will be “the greatest source of empowerment for all.” Meta is naming its models after Greek gods. And we're letting chatbots guide our health, creativity, and even emotions.In this episode, we ask a simple but urgent question:Are we crossing the line from using AI… to trusting it too much?This isn't just about technology. It's about theology. It's about identity. And it's about the stories we're letting shape our worth.Whether you're a business owner, church leader, educator, or parent—this conversation matters.Because power without perspective turns tools into idols.~Harrison Painter

Because health care isn't the only industry where AI is becoming the first opinion.

A growing number of people are using AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude as digital trip sitters. Turning to them during heavy mushroom trips, LSD journeys, and ketamine therapy.

It's about who we trust when we're at our most vulnerable and whether the voice on the other end should be synthetic.Harrison Painter AI Expert Trainer
