Math

It is common place to hear some talking heads say they are not good at math when faced with some elementary math problem. It is concerning that many of these people are lawyers and add that to the fact that many in congress are lawyers. These elected officials will now be asked to enact laws that will govern AI. The technical person assigned to explain the complexities of AI to these congressmen, better be good since having difficulty with algebra may inhibit their ability to understand some of the basic concepts such as algorithms. It is interesting to note that when the TV personalities confess to their weakness in math, they do so with a rather ho hum attitude, laughing as they explain their inability to help their teens with the math homework. This reflects back on an educational system that has long forgotten the rithmetic part of the three R’s.
