Womens economistdiary.com abedmooc.com,catholicuni.com : Who are DMV's Goats of Layer 5 AI

AT CU.com please find my attempt to celebrate my greatest personal privilege: to visit women empowered Bangladesh 15 times from 2007 during last 13 years of life of Fazle Abed. From 2012 we discussed AbedMOOC and 2015 onwards at his 80th birthday AbedAI. Back in 2001, Abed 65th birthday hosted by Steve Jobs in Silicon Valley changed both of these human genii's life work. Even today I dont spend time exploring America AI with any engineers or practitioners of health or education, food or safety or finance, who dont know what they (we humans all) owe to Steve J.

Before AI lifted off in late 2000s 3 underacknowlefgen Happenings: 1 steve jobs hosted Fazle Abed's 65 th birthday party silicon valley 2001; .jensen hunag and steve jobs went from coding binary to cosinf pixels; Fazle abed clarified that paulo freire culture celebrated poorest asian womens ebd poverty networking miracle -- largest NGO, providing education, health services, microcredit and livelihood creation programmes for a significant part of the population of Bangladesh. What lies behind this huge success, Caroline Hartnell asked Fazle Abed, founder of BRAC and still very much at the helm. Questioning everything they do and being prepared to tackle whatever is needed to make their programmes successful are certainly part of the secret behind the success of this extraordinarily entrepreneurial organization. The secret of success? Asked what lies behind BRAC’s phenomenal success, the first thing Fazle Abed mentions is determination: ‘We were determined to bring about changes in the lives of poor people.’ The second thing is thinking in national terms: ‘We always had a national goal; we never thought in terms of working in a small area. We thought, all right, if we work with the poorest people in this community, who’s going to work with the poorest people in that other community? So we felt that whatever we do, we should try and replicate it throughout the nation if we can.’ The third thing he mentions is inspiration. ‘We always thought nationally, worked locally, and looked for inspiration globally. We were inspired by Paolo Freire’s work on the pedagogy of the oppressed, which he came out with in 1972. It was wonderful to have a thinker who was thinking about poor people and how they can become actors in history and not just passive recipients of other people’s aid. He made us realize that poor people are human beings and can do things for themselves, and it’s our duty to empower them so they can analyse their own situation, see how exploitation works in society, and see what they need to do to escape these exploitative processes.’ Finally, he says, ‘one needs to have not only ambition but also the ability to do the work. The organization must be competent to take on national tasks. That confidence we got from the campaign for oral rehydration, to cut down diarrhoeal mortality, in the 1980s. That involved going to every household in rural Bangladesh, 13 million households, and it took ten years to do it. Then we became a little more ambitious. We thought that if we can go to every household, then we can cover the whole country with everything we do.

Accessing future product categories will depend on unlocking biology as a general purpose technology15 (e.g., growing computers16 ), deploying pervasive and embedded biotechnologies within, on, and around us (e.g. smart blood,17 skin vaccines,18 and surveillance mucus19 ), and life-beyond lineage (e.g., biosecurity at birth,20 species de-extinction21 ).

Who are DMV's Goats of Layer 5 AI

Part 1 of occasional series prompted with Gemini submodel UYKB

Scaling AI+Health with womens sports - Michelle Kang owner SPIRIT DC women soccer

9/3/26 Wow I got gemini (Unless You Know Better) at a good moment - amazing intelligence links of Korean American Michell Kang - owner of Spirit DC ladies soccer. Her ai health start up investments include hopkins students" Protenus acts as an AI-powered "immune system" for patient data. It uses advanced machine learning to audit electronic health records (EHRs), actively protecting patient privacy by identifying insider threats, healthcare compliance violations, and employee data snooping. Koreans advancing layer 5 AI are currently m largest subnetwork on linkedin - please say if you want more detail.

how much is michelle kang worth invested in spirit football versus other business including AI+Health: is she self made; when did her parent immigrate from korea

Michele Kang is worth an estimated $1.1 billion, according to Forbes. Her wealth primarily stems from founding the healthcare technology firm Cognosante in 2008, which she sold to Accenture Federal Services in 2024 for an estimated sum of over $1 billion. [1, 2]

Investment: Spirit Football vs. AI + Health

Michele Kang has successfully pivoted her capital from healthcare technology into building a global multi-club women's football ecosystem under her sports organization, Kynisca. [1]

Investment / Asset	Estimated Financial Value & Scope
Washington Spirit	Acquired controlling ownership in 2022 for $35 million. Under her leadership, Forbes now values the franchise at $130 million.
Other Football Investments	Majority owner of France's OL Lyonnes and England's London City Lionesses. She also owns a stake in Eagle Football Holdings.
Sports Philanthropy	Committed $55 million to U.S. Soccer, including a $30 million donation for youth/female programs and a $25 million hand-over of her Kynisca sports science innovation hub. She also gave $4 million to USA Women's Rugby.
AI + Health Investments	Founded Cognosante Ventures, a venture capital arm specializing in funding early-stage digital health and health-IT startups. While the exact total dollar figure invested across her VC portfolio remains private, she heavily utilized AI-driven health data solutions during her tenure building Cognosante.

Is Michele Kang Self-Made?

Yes, Michele Kang is completely self-made. Forbes ranks her among America's Richest Self-Made Women. She did not come from an established family fortune; she began her career working as a management consultant, rising to partner at Ernst & Young, and serving as an executive at Northrop Grumman before building her own billion-dollar business. Famously, when she moved to the U.S., she asked her parents to give her the money they had saved for her traditional wedding fund so that she could pay for her own college tuition instead. [1, 2, 3]

Parental Immigration from Korea

Michele Kang's parents never immigrated to the United States. Her parents remained in South Korea. Her father was a university professor in Seoul who had briefly studied in the U.S. on a government scholarship in 1950 before returning to South Korea. [1]

Kang grew up in South Korea and immigrated to the United States entirely on her own in 1981. She was a student at Sogang University in 1980 during the political unrest surrounding the Gwangju Uprising. The frequent campus shutdowns prompted her to move to the U.S. by herself, where she subsequently earned her bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Chicago and her master's from Yale. [1] Famously she persuaded her parents to spend her intended dowry on her own development in USA.

The specific health startups backed by Cognosante Ventures

While Cognosante Ventures operates primarily as a private corporate venture capital fund—meaning many of its early-stage seed and angel-level investments remain confidential—the most notable, publicly documented health technology startup backed by the firm is Protenus. [1]

Through Cognosante Ventures, Michele Kang invests based on a thesis of digital transformation, health data integration, cybersecurity, and privacy. [1]

The primary company in its publicized health IT portfolio reflects these exact pillars:

Entity Name: Protenus

What it does: Founded by Johns Hopkins medical students, Protenus acts as an AI-powered "immune system" for patient data. It uses advanced machine learning to audit electronic health records (EHRs), actively protecting patient privacy by identifying insider threats, healthcare compliance violations, and employee data snooping.
Cognosante’s Involvement: Cognosante Ventures heavily backed Protenus early on, participating in its $4 million Series A funding round and subsequently re-investing alongside major healthcare players like Kaiser Permanente Ventures in an $11 million Series B round. [1, 2]

Strategic Investment Focus

Outside of individual health IT startups, Kang has historically used her venture branch to mentor and accelerate companies targeting the public sector. Her fund focuses on backing HealthTech, IT, and cybersecurity solutions that bridge the gap between complex data and public health efficiency. [1, 2]

(Note: In addition to tech startups, Kang has extended her venture and advisory backing to female-led sports ecosystem startups, most notably serving as an early investor in Just Women’s Sports, the premier media platform dedicated exclusively to women's sports). [1]

The commercial strategy behind her multi-club network, Kynisca

The commercial strategy behind Michele Kang’s Kynisca Sports International is designed to treat women’s soccer as a high-growth, Silicon Valley-style asset class rather than a charity or diversity initiative. [1]

Unlike traditional multi-club models in men's sports that focus primarily on player flipping, Kynisca’s model is built on standardizing elite infrastructure, expanding the commercial ecosystem, and solving the sport's massive data gap. [1]

1. Centralized Shared Services & Scale

Operating clubs across different leagues—such as the Washington Spirit (USA), OL Lyonnais (France), and London City Lionesses (UK)—allows Kynisca to centralize its business and technical operations. [1, 2]

Shared Technical Playbook: A uniform standard for coaching, scouting, and player recruitment is deployed across all clubs.
Commercial Leverage: B2B sponsor packages (e.g., jersey partners, training kit rights) can be pitched globally across multiple markets simultaneously, maximizing brand sponsorship revenue. [1, 2]

2. Monetizing Data and Female Sports Science

Kang identifies the lack of female-specific health research as a commercial opportunity. Historically, women's sports have relied on training manuals and equipment designed for men, contributing to high ACL injury rates. [1, 2, 3]

Kynisca Innovation Hub: This dedicated platform generates proprietary data on female performance, nutrition, and injury prevention.
The U.S. Soccer Partnership: By integrating the Hub into U.S. Soccer's Soccer Forward Foundation via a $25 million asset hand-over, Kynisca utilizes national convening power to scale this data. The long-term commercial goal is to develop and monetize proprietary female sports tech, training IP, and data analytics startups. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

3. Vertical Integration of the Women's Ecosystem

Kynisca’s strategy looks beyond team ownership to invest in the broader infrastructure surrounding female athletes: [1]

Custom Products: Funding the design of female-specific athletic wear and footwear to lower injury risks and tap into an underserved retail market. [1, 2]
Media & Audience Cultivation: Investing in women's sports media companies (such as Just Women’s Sports) to drive cultural visibility, fan retention, and higher broadcasting valuations. [1, 2]

4. Global Footprint to Lower Acquisition Costs

Kang aims to expand Kynisca’s multi-club footprint to every continent. By establishing academies and clubs in regions like Africa and Asia, Kynisca builds a global talent pipeline. This allows the network to discover, develop, and integrate elite talent internally, significantly lowering player acquisition costs while increasing international fan lifetime value. [1, 2]

The specific academic collaborations (e.g., Duke, UNC) fueling her sports science research

Michele Kang has partnered with major elite research institutions, specifically the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) and Duke University, to ground her sports science initiatives in rigorous academic study. [1, 2]

These academic partnerships, originally formed through her Kynisca Innovation Hub, operate directly under the newly established Kang Women's Institute (KWI) via her landmark partnership with U.S. Soccer. [1, 2]

The collaborations actively target critical data gaps in women's sports science through the following key initiatives:

1. The UNC Partnership: "From Lab to Pitch"

The collaboration with UNC Chapel Hill focuses primarily on female physiology and precision athletic training. [1]

The Study: Named "From Lab to Pitch: Turning Menstrual Cycle & Performance Data into Better Soccer Decisions". [1]
The Goal: It evaluates low-cost, non-invasive digital tracking tools to accurately map the phases of the menstrual cycle. The data is translated into practical guidance for coaches to adapt training loads, dictate recovery strategies, and optimize active game-day performance. [1]
Key Leadership: The study is co-led by Dr. Abbie Smith-Ryan, an acclaimed UNC Professor and KWI Advisor, alongside KWI's internal research directors. [1]

2. The Duke University Partnership: Connecting Health and Performance

The partnership with Duke University focuses heavily on the clinical and data-driven intersection of female health metrics and elite athletic execution. [1]

The Goal: Duke medical and sports science researchers work alongside the institute to study and prevent career-altering soft-tissue injuries—specifically focusing on the high rates of ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) tears in women's soccer. [1, 2]
The Method: The collaboration leverages health data pipelines to track bio-mechanical stressors, establishing new physical baselines tailored explicitly to the female body rather than relying on historical training data derived entirely from men. [1, 2]

3. Broadened Data Collaborations

To translate the academic findings from Duke and UNC into real-world sports environments, the institute scales its clinical research across professional soccer pipelines: [1]

League Frameworks: The data models are trialed and refined in active collaboration with teams across both the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) and the United Soccer League (USL). [1, 2]
Retention Tracking: Alongside university research, the institute works with specialized biostatisticians on the "Hers to Play – Drop Out Study" to mathematically predict and prevent the sharp decline of teenage girls leaving sports during puberty. [1]

Would you like to examine the exact biophysical metrics (such as hormonal fluctuations or movement mechanics) that these Duke and UNC studies track, or look into how these findings are deployed across the Washington Spirit roster?

The specific health IT solutions her main company, Cognosante, built for federal and defense agencies before being acquired by Accenture

Before its acquisition by Accenture Federal Services, Michele Kang’s Cognosante established itself as a primary federal contractor by building and managing highly specialized health IT systems, data migration tools, and remote healthcare solutions. [1, 2, 3]

Its core solutions were deployed across the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and defense agencies: [1, 2]

1. Telehealth & Remote Patient Monitoring

Cognosante built specialized, patient-centric technology frameworks to support active-duty military and veterans. [1, 2]

Remote Patient Monitoring-Home Telehealth (RPM-HT): Secured a spot on a major $1 billion VA telehealth initiative. Cognosante deployed secure cloud tools allowing clinicians to monitor, educate, and triage over 72,000 veterans managing acute and chronic conditions from home. [1, 2, 3]
Workflow Integration: These remote platforms were designed to integrate directly into the VA's existing electronic health record architecture, including both VistA and the VA Millennium platforms. [1]

2. VA Cloud Migration & Enterprise DevSecOps

The company served as a technical anchor for migrating massive legacy health data into modern cloud environments. [1]

VA Enterprise Cloud (VAEC) Migration: Cognosante managed the migration of over 350 complex health and administrative applications to the cloud. This included moving highly sensitive instances of the Veteran Health Administration's legacy electronic health record database. [1]
DevSecOps Implementations: They embedded continuous secure software development pipelines (DevSecOps) to modernize how the VA maintains and continuously updates its core health software systems. [1, 2]

3. Care Coordination & Logistics Systems

Cognosante digitized the administrative and clinical supply pipelines that handle veteran care. [1, 2]

Community Care Referrals and Authorization (CCRA): Awarded a five-year, $200 million program to develop web-based systems that streamline referrals when veterans need to see civilian doctors outside of the standard VA hospital system. [1]
Medical Supply Chain Management: Secured a $545 million task order to build and sustain the VA’s Enterprise Supply Chain Management software, modernizing how medical logistics and equipment are distributed across all VA clinics. [1]

4. Public Health Enrollment Infrastructures

Beyond defense and veterans' care, Cognosante built consumer-facing data portals for state and federal healthcare marketplaces. [1, 2]

State & Federal Exchanges: They served as a prime contractor building cloud modernization and enrollment systems for public health platforms, such as the Pennsylvania Health Insurance Exchange (Pennie) and programs under CMS. [1, 2]

The exact medical and structural goals of the Kang Women's Institut

The Kang Women’s Institute (KWI) was established under U.S. Soccer’s Soccer Forward Foundation. Its core mission is to replace training models built entirely around male physiology with female-centered, evidence-based standards for health, performance, and game-wide infrastructure. [1, 2, 3]

The precise medical and structural goals of the institute are organized into distinct technical pillars:

Medical & Clinical Goals

The medical objectives address the extreme historical disparity in sports medicine, where only an estimated 6% of sports science research has exclusively focused on women. [1]

Anatomical & Injury Prevention Research: Quantifying the biological mechanics behind the female athlete "injury epidemic," specifically targeting the disproportionately high rates of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tears in women’s soccer. [1, 2]
Menstrual Health Integration: Mapping hormonal and menstrual cycles to understand their correlation with active performance. The clinical goal is to replace rigid schedules with data-driven workload management and tailored recovery windows based on a player's cycle. [1, 2]
Maternity & Post-Pregnancy Re-entry: Establishing standardized clinical timelines and physical therapy milestones for elite athletes returning to competitive play safely following pregnancy. [1, 2]
Holistic & Mental Well-being: Designing comprehensive physical and mental health frameworks optimized specifically for the unique psychological stressors faced by female competitors navigating youth pipelines up through the professional tiers. [1, 2]

Structural & Operational Goals

The structural goals focus on embedding this new scientific evidence into the physical architecture, coaching pipelines, and governing bodies of soccer.

National Baseline Data Pool: Executing the first comprehensive national study to systematically gather, track, and analyze the physiological and operational needs of female players across all skill levels. [1, 2]
Domestic Professional Frameworks: Co-developing unified operational best practices for player safety, elite training, and holistic development in structural partnership with the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) and the United Soccer League (USL). [1, 2]
International Governance Preparation: Setting and solidifying these strict data-backed safety and development baselines ahead of major global stages, specifically the 2027 and 2031 FIFA Women’s World Cups. [1, 2]
Combating Youth Dropouts: Launching targeted demographic tracking initiatives—such as the "Hers to Play – Drop Out Study"—to identify the exact socioeconomic, physical, and psychological triggers causing young girls to abandon the sport during puberty, creating evidence-based toolkits to maximize retention. [1, 2]
Coaching and Parent Education: Building and distributing accessible educational curricula to ensure youth coaches, local clubs, and parents have direct access to sports science data, teaching them how to train young girls safely without utilizing historical male-centric methods. [1, 2]

The biostatistical metrics used to project the youth dropout curves

In the "Hers to Play – Drop Out Study," led by biostatistician Dr. Carly Brantner, the Kang Women’s Institute utilizes a combination of demographic categorization, developmental tracking, and predictive risk modeling to project youth soccer attrition curves. [1, 2]

Rather than treating player exit as a random occurrence, the study uses specific biostatistical metrics and predictive factors to analyze why girls ages 8–18 leave the sport: [1]

1. Key Predictors & Independent Variables

The study tracks multi-dimensional data points to uncover why girls drop out at significantly higher rates than boys: [1, 2]

Developmental Chronological Age: Attrition data is strictly parsed by age to identify specific exit clusters, pinpointing major drops at Age 9 (transition to competitive play), Ages 11–14 (puberty-onset), and Ages 16–17 (late-adolescent exit). [1]
Biological and Physiological Changes: Tracking variables related to puberty, growth spurts, physical discomfort, and biological maturation timelines that alter an athlete's physical mechanics. [1]
Socioeconomic Demographics: Evaluating how geographic region, family income levels, race, and local resource allocation correlate with premature sports exit. [1]
Player Pathways: Segmenting data based on the competitive tier of the athlete, comparing recreational pipelines against elite, high-performance club systems. [1]
Social and Structural Stressors: Measuring qualitative and structural metrics, including coaching styles, peer relationships, body image pressures, and equal access to training facilities. [1, 2]

2. Biostatistical Modeling Methods

To turn these predictors into actionable curves that youth clubs can use for retention, the institute applies traditional epidemiological and survival statistics:

Survival Analysis (Time-to-Event Modeling): Utilizing models (such as Kaplan-Meier estimators or Cox Proportional Hazards) where the "event" measured is the player completely dropping out of organized soccer, mapping how "survival in the sport" changes over time based on varying risk exposures. [1, 2]
Multinomial Logistic Regression: Used to calculate odds ratios for various risk factors, identifying which combination of biological change and structural stress creates the highest statistical probability of a player quitting. [1]
Risk Stratification Mapping: Grouping youth player populations into low, moderate, and high-risk categories based on their cumulative metric scores, allowing the U.S. Soccer Federation to pilot targeted interventions at precise developmental windows. [1]

Would you like to explore how these dropout curves vary between inner-city youth programs versus elite club systems, or see the evidence-based toolkits the institute is designing to counter the sharp drop-off during puberty?

====== Footnote Case Protenus

Protenus is an AI-driven healthcare compliance analytics platform founded in 2014 by Johns Hopkins University medical students Nick Culbertson and Robert Lord. [1, 2, 3]

Origins at Johns Hopkins

Student Founders: Nick Culbertson and Robert Lord launched the startup during their medical studies after spotting gaps in hospital data security.
DreamIt Health: The project developed through DreamIt Health Baltimore, a local accelerator program sponsored in part by Johns Hopkins.
First Client: Johns Hopkins Hospital acted as the company's initial pilot site and first customer. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

How It Works with Health Records

Real-Time Monitoring: The system analyzes millions of electronic health record accesses every day.
Privacy Protection: It flags unusual record views and sends alerts to the Johns Hopkins Privacy Office to investigate potential HIPAA violations.
Drug Diversion: The platform also uses machine learning to spot and prevent the theft of controlled substances in medical facilities. [1, 2, 3]

From Sir Fazle's last 47th annual report (2018) as chairman of Bangladesh Rural Advancement Cooperation

For nearly half a century, our work at BRAC has

supported the building of a gender-equitable

world.

What would a gender-equitable world look like?

A world where cultures, embedded systems,

and values based on patriarchy are replaced by

cultures, systems, and values that empower and

create opportunities for all. A world where girls are

just as likely to gain education and skills as boys,

where women are just as likely as men to own

land, have control over assets and decisions, and

succeed in the workplace, and where men and

women share responsibilities at home equally.

Gender equity is a cross-cutting issue for all

of us - individuals, communities, corporate

organisations, non-governmental organisations,

and governments. We all need to push ahead

and find new ways to achieve this. Gender equity

plays a vital role in both social development and

domestic harmony and, as such, remains one of

our top commitments at BRAC. We will continue

to fight against anything that stands in the way

of women’s development, holds women back,

deprives them of their rights, and damages their

self-esteem or self-respect.

Only a few countries have come close to

achieving gender equality. By comparison, in the

11 countries where BRAC operates, the work

is just beginning. Despite making creditable

progress on some socioeconomic indicators,

we still lag behind in ensuring respect and fair

treatment for women. We must be steadfast in our

struggle to create an equitable society.

Although the challenges may be daunting, we

must not accept the world as it is today. Children

should not be forced to become brides, women

should not have to do more work for less pay,

and wives and mothers should not have to carry a

disproportionately high burden of responsibility at

home. We cannot sit idly by as the harassment of

women and girls continues unabated - at home,

in public spaces, and in the workplace. Rather,

we must continue to act on our conviction that

women are the real agents of positive change for

their families, communities, and for societies as a

whole.

BRAC continued to tackle many of these issues

head on in 2018. This report highlights some of

our work in these areas. As we move forward

towards the third decade of this century, we

must continue to prioritise action that will lead us

towards gender equality, and must do so with a

sense of impatience and urgency. We must strive

to create a world free of systemic prejudice, where

gender-based violence in all its forms is rooted out

for good. For we cannot and will not have peace,

justice, or shared prosperity

fazle abed quoted by donella rapier 2018 : “The passion of my lifetime has been to work with people living in poverty and to see them, with the right resources and opportunities, transform into agents of change in their own lives, families and communities. The inequalities that create divisions of rich and poor, powerful and powerless, are made by humans. So change is also possible through human acts of compassion, courage, and conviction. I have spent my life watching optimism triumph over despair when the light of self-belief is sparked in people. As a team, I want us to keep lighting these sparks.”

global leaders who appear to have liked Abed include

x UN Secretary-General António Guterres in a message read out by UN Resident Coordinator Mia Seppo said Abed’s contribution in poverty alleviation and sustainable development are sources of great inspiration for the UN.

“Sir Fazle Abed’s vision became Brac’s vision. He was against all forms of exploitation and discrimination. He was a strong advocate for women and through Brac he designed development models that placed women at the centre,”

Abed also understood that opportunity starts with the help of education, and Brac’s education model has been replicated around the world.

“For Bangladesh, in the 1970s diarrhoea was the biggest killer. Sir Fazle Abed helped the country make dramatic advances in overcoming the disease through highly effective national campaigns.

“Today the focus is shifting towards resilience in the face of climate change and humanitarian crises. Brac today is among the main responders to the Rohingya crisis. I know that Brac will continue to keep alive the vision of its founder.”

Guterres said the UN will stand with Brac in carrying forward Abed’s important work.

changing employment

the change from real world jobs to digitally empowered blended services is not an unprecedented rundown. In the 1890s, around half of the workforce in countries like the United States were in three occupations: agriculture, domestic service and jobs to do with horse transport. By the 1970s these three were down to 4 per cent of the workforce. If this had been foretold in the 1890s, there would have been a wail. It would have been said that half the population was fit only to be farmworkers, parlourmaids and sweepers-up of horse manure. Where would this half find jobs? The answer was by the 1970s the majority of them were much more fully employed ( because more married women joined the workforce) doing jobs that would have sounded double-Dutch in the 1890s: extracting oil instead of fish out of the North Sea; working as computer programmers, or as television engineers, or as package-holiday tour operators chartering jet aircraft.

The move in jobs in the past fifty years in the rich countries has been out of manufacturing and into telecommuting.

Changing education

There has been a sea-change in the traditional ages on man. Compared with 1974 our children in 2024 generally go out to paid work (especially computer programming work) much earlier, maybe starting at nine, maybe at twelve, and we do not exploit them. But young adults of twenty-three to forty-five stay at home to play much more than in 1974; it is quite usual today for one parent (probably now generally the father, although sometimes the mother) to stay at home during the period when young children are growing up. And today adults of forty-three to ninety-three go back to school - via computerised learning - much more than they did in 1974.

In most of the rich countries in 2024 children are not allowed to leave school until they pass their Preliminary Exam. About 5 per cent of American children passed their exam last year before their eight birthday, but the median age for passing it in 2024 is ten-and-a-half, and remedial education is generally needed if a child has not passed it by the age of fifteen.

A child who passes his Prelim can decide whether to tale a job at once, and take up the remainder of his twelve years of free schooling later; or he can pass on to secondary schooling forthwith, and start to study for his Higher Diploma.

The mode of learning for the under-twelves is nowadays generally computer-generated. The child sits at home or with a group of friends or (more rarely) in an actual, traditional school building. She or he will be in touch with a computer program that has discovered , during a preliminary assessment, her or his individual learning pattern. The computer will decide what next questions to ask or task to set after each response from each child.

A school teacher assessor, who may live half a world away, will generally have been hired, via the voucher system by the family for each individual child. A good assessor will probably have vouchers to monitor the progress of twenty-five individual children, although some parents prefer to employ groups of assessors - one following the child's progress in emotional balance, one in mathematics, one in civilized living, and so on - and these groups band together in telecommuting schools.

Many communities and districts also have on-the-spot 'uncles' and 'aunts'. They monitor childrens' educational performance by browsing through the TC and also run play groups where they meet and get to know the children personally...

Some of the parents who have temporarily opted out of employment to be a family educator also put up material on the TC s for other parents to consult. Sometimes the advice is given for free, sometimes as a business. It is a business for Joshua Ginsberg. He puts a parents advice newsletter on the TC , usually monthly. Over 300,000 people subscribe to it, nowadays at a 25-cent fee per person, or less if you accept attached advertisements. Here's an entry from the current newsletter:..

my guess is that leaves one pivotal Japanese person in Boston to send a copy to as joi ito - you probably know he was headhunted to lead MIT media lab and to bridge us-japan entrepreneurs; the media lab borders at least 5 generally interesting labs in addition to specific ones such as health, agriculture, ;

the original artificial intelligence lab formed with 3 years of Von Neumann's death,

Tim Berner Lee's www lab,

Rosalind Picard's lab - how do advances in machines 5 senses also augment senses for humans with disabilities

the new Schwarzman transformation of MIT linking in oxford and China's Tsinghua and 9 leading Japanese graduates, - if you could send a copy to Tokyo's Mayor/Governor Koike - she cares about education imagineering as much as Beijing's mayor -and both are caught up in the mess covid has made for Olympics youth - i once hoped that Naomi Osaka would win the tennis Olympics and go on to be Japans youth Sustainabiilty Development Goals ambassador but it looks like that world stage for lives matter societies has been lost

and mobile tech end poverty labs- these dont have one simple name but having visited mit most years since 2008 i can help ask around for a full list

none of these labs integrated edu tech the way dad and my 2025report.com first debated in 1984- frankly Nordica and Chinese diaspora eg Singapore seem to do that in ways that neither MIT AI lab nor the other twin AI lab at Stanford yet do

the japan society in new york one block from the United Nations is a pivotal community discussion hub- except while covid reigns; they staged an event with Joi Ito 2 years ago which i attended ; i tried to ask who was their new york number 1 humaniser of technology was but didnt get an answer- indeed they were also in the process of changing the organisational team-it may be a question the publisher can ask more directly than i

back in 2007 my next door neighbor Shimada, Takehiro worked at the japan embassy in DC; he was in charge of the annual cherry blossom festival; he connected me with the then head of JICA in ysa Yamamoto Aiichiro who shared my interest in Bangladesh as a tech lab for the poor as well as my fathers 1960/1970 surveys of japan and asia rising and humanising tech, I dont know how to contact these two people but tech for sustainability goals is something only japan can lead collaboratively in todays G7

Although my father supported Schwab world economic forum in its early days as an apres ski dinner roundtable Schwab's weforum managers dont recall; however it would be fascinating if Tokyo;s industrial revolution 4 hub of Schwab has any connections with the history of tech- I know Schwab's AI conference organiser so i could ask her for one name at Schwab IR4 Tokyo lab but I am not sure if Japan'sG20 please for society 5.0 and Osaka data track were ever understood in the west. probably the most highly connected person of all is Koji Tomita - I dont know if there is somebody in his team at USA embassy who might have time to read von neumann

BRIDGING 3 GENERATIONS WHO WIN OR LOSE OUR SPECIES

A key future history question seems to me to start up around who remembers why von neumanns inspirations in usa never came humanly together with Deming's inspiration in japan; there is even the extraordinary story around 1965 when intel received its then largest silicon chip order from a Japanese calculator company and rather than become too dependent on one client invented the programmable chip -why didnt Japan and silicon valley twin in the 1970s?

back in 1964 Prince Charles was inspired by the Tokyo Olympics, met Akio Motita of Sony, asked him to inwardly invest in wales one of the first Japanese inward investments in the west- but i dont know in both countries who connects that 57 years on

i realise both Prince Charles and the Emperors family are huge supporters of green technology; if anyone is preparing Japanese connections with Glasgow cop 26 my friends are trying to celebrate all youth organisations without borders; we have hired the Glasgow University Union for middle Saturday nov 6 so that youth and sdg led discussions connect with what Adam Smith and James Watt started 260 years ago

the two places to host briainstorming remembrance events of my fathers work were Glasgow University and thanks to Ambassador Sadoshima - in 2012 the Japanese Embassy in Dhaka - there my father's greatest end poverty hero chaired 2 dinner sessions:

*the future coalition of new universities needed if there is ever to be a first sd generation

* the future of fintech and economics for the poorest billion female Asians

Compared with the 1960s computing/commuications NIT team needed to code the moon landing, Moores law suggest we have multiplied capacity to analyse 10 fold every 5 years -approaching a trillion times moore by 2025 - but we don't seem to have united human and machine intel by any exponentially positive multiplier- i think von neumann would be sad that worldwide collaboration round trust in tech-youth had not yet multiplied across asia , europe, usa but then i grew up optimistically with Yoko Ono and John Lennon imagineering scripts in my mind-

the sdg generation is all to play for in the 2020s if Asians let it be

-as we enter 2021 it is not likely to be led by America's 5% of peoples not the EU's 5% unless something hugely different emerges at cop26

Norman Macrae; Future Historian

1760s: When James Watt and Adam Smith started up lives of humans assisted by machines they hoped to map out worldwide improvement of the human lot.

By 1843, it was clear to Diaspora Scot James Wilson that empires led by Britain were spinning the opposite of a world in which all lives matter. He started up The Economist as a newsletter mediating purposeful futures of London’s Royal Society. The Economist’s 1943 centenary autobiography written at the height of world war 2 summarises how much more trusted mediation needed doing if technology was not to destroy the human race. At that time, Norman Macrae was spending his last days as a teenager in world war 2 with allied bomber command hubbed out of modern-day Myanmar.

1945 Surviving world war 2, Norman saw the opportunity to Unite Nations as a chance to sustain our species. From the last class at Cambridge to be instructed on Keynesian systems for ending poverty, Norman was overjoyed to be offered a job at The Economist paying 8 pounds a week. The other two most joyful events in Norman’s second twenty years of life were an interview with John Von Neumann on the legacy of his life’s work, and The Economist offering Norman one signed survey per year from 1962. Norman chose 1962’s survey to be about the rise and rise of Japan, and hopes for all of Asia’s reversal of the poverty traps that Empire had caused.

1960s John Von Neumann’s immediate legacy after his death in 1957 comprised the moon race and two Artificial Intelligence labs- at MIT Boston facing the Atlantic Coast, at Stanford facing the Pacific Coast.

Norman disagreed with western economists who started hiring themselves out to big government and big corporations in the 1970s. He sought to mediate an optimistic global village viewspaper and adopted the Keynesian role of future historian. 1970s Economist surveys epitomised this: 1972 the next 40 years, 1975 Asia Pacific Century, 1976 the Entrepreneurial Revolution of value chains integrated by small-medium sized enterprises, 1977 celebration that Asian village women empowered by rural Keynesianism and China’s happy intent to seed transformational education. In 1984, his family joined Norman in editing The 2025 Report- a 4 decade exponential countdown to sustainability

In 1989, Norman started an active retirement receiving the huge honours of Japan’s Order of Rising Sun with Gold Rays and Neck Ribbon and Britain’s CBE. His first project: this biography on John Von Neumann. Norman died in 2010 but not before discovering one more unacknowledged hero- women empowerment’s Sir Fazle Abed.

2020s. Post-covid19, will humans open every society anew and value the futureoflife.org? Will we the peoples celebrate the third and probably ultimate chance to humanize machines by valuing all lives matter?

Let it be: the future of the Olympics out of the Orient, the future of climate summits out of Smithian Glasgow, the future of all humans-artificial intelligence communities everywhere : the flourishing of girls, boys, and every colored skin under the sun.

Our 1984 scenario of an internetworking world

The great technological event of the next 40 years will be the steady rise in importance of the Telecommunications-Computer terminal (TC for short)... Eventually books, files, television programmes, computer information and telecommunications will merge. We'll have this portable object which is a television screen with first a typewriter, later a voice activator attached. Afterwards it will be minaturised so that your personal access instrument can be carried in your buttonhole, but there will be these cheap terminals around everywhere, more widely than telephones of 1984. The terminals will be used to access databases anywhere in the globe, and will become the brainworker's mobile place of work. Brainworkers, which will increasingly mean all workers, will be able to live in Tahiti if they want to and telecommute daily to the New York or Tokyo or Hamburg office through which they work. In the satellite age costs of transmission will not depend mainly on distance. And knowledge once digitalised can be replicated for use anywhere almost instantly.

Over the last decade, I have written many articles in The Economist and delivered lectures in nearly 30 countries across the world saying the future should be much more rosy. This book explores the lovely future people could have if only all democrats made the right decisions.

Norman Macrae, 1984.

Changing communications, and what makes people distant, bossy etc

Telecommunications are now recognised as the third of the three great transport revolutions that have, in swift succession, transformed society in the past two hundred years. First, were the railways; second the automobile; and third, telecommunications-attached-to-the-computer, which was bound to be the most far-reaching because in telecommunications, once the infrastructure is installed, the cost of use does not depend greatly on distance. So by the early years of the twenty-first century brainworkers - which in rich countries already meant most workers - no longer need to live near their work.

All three revolutions were opposed by the ruling establishments of their time, and therefore emerged fastest where government was weak. All three brought great new freedoms to the common man, but the railway and motor-car ages temporarily made access to capital the most important source of economic power. As most men and women did not like being bossed about by capitalists who could become more powerful because they were born stinking rich, they voted to give greater economic power to governments during the railway and motor-car ages. This was economically inefficient, and also made tyrannies more likely and more terrible. The information revolution was fortunately the exact opposite of the steam engine's industrial revolution and of Henry Ford's mass production automobile revolution in this respect. The steam engine and mass production has made start-up costs for the individual entrepreneur larger and larger, so that in both the steam and automobile ages to quote Bell Canada's Gordon Thompson in the early 1970s, there was 'no way an ordinary citizen could walk into a modern complex factory and use its facilities to construct something useful for himself'. But, as Thompson forecast, the databases of the next decades were places into which every part-time enthusiast could tele-commute. In all jobs connected with the use of information, start-up costs for the individual entrepreneur in 1984-2024 have grown smaller and smaller. It was 'never thus', said Thompson, 'with power shovels and punch presses'.

In consequence, in the TC age, the most important economic resource is no longer ownership of or access to capital, but has become the ability to use readily available knowledge intelligently and entrepreneurially.

Changing national politics

For a region's people to succeed in the Telecommuting Age there are four main requirements - satisfied in places as far apart ad Guam and Queensland and Cape Province and California and Penang and Scotland. First , as the prophet John Naisbitt said in 1982, 'the languages needed for the immediate future are computer and English'. Second, the area has to be a nice one in which to live. Third, it is important that all income earners should adapt happily to a 'cafeteria of compensation' schemes. These allow the individual employee to decide what mix (s)he wants of salary, job objectives, career aims, flexitime, job sharing, long or short holidays, fringe benefits or fringe nuisances. Fourth, there needs to be a competitive and quickly changing telecommunications system. The TC age is making understanding of these requirements increasingly transparent among human beings worldwide.

Governments at first tried to impede or regulate much of this, but an early discovery of the Telecommutung age was that we could change the way we chose our governments. Until the 1990s we had pretended to ourselves that we could alter our lifestyles by choosing on each Tuesday or Thursday every four years whether Mr Reagan or Mr Carter , Mrs Thatcher or Mr Kinnock, was putting on the tribal demonstration which at that particular moment annoyed us less. After the advent of the TC we found that the more sensible and direct way in which a free man or woman could choose government was by voting with his or her feet. The individual could go to live in any area where the government - which could from then on be a very local government - permitted the lifestyle, rules and customs which suited that human being.

Changing Economics

The introduction of the international Centrobank was the last great act of government before government grew much less important. It was not a conception of policy-making governments at all, but emerged from the first computerised town meeting of the world.

By 2005 the gap in income and expectations between the rich and poor nations was recognised to be man's most dangerous problem. Internet linked television channels in sixty-eight countries invited their viewers to participate in a computerised conference about it, in the form of a series of weekly programmes. Recommendations tapped in by viewers were tried out on a computer model of the world economy. If recommendations were shown by the model to be likely to make the world economic situation worse, they were to be discarded. If recommendations were reported by the model to make the economic situation in poor countries better, they were retained for 'ongoing computer analysis' in the next programme.

In 2024 it is easy to see this as a forerunner of the TC conferences which play so large a part in our lives today, both as pastime and principal innovative device in business. But the truth of this 2005 breakthrough tends to irk the highbrow. It succeeded because it was initially a rather downmarket network television programme. About 400 million people watched the first programme, and 3 million individuals or groups tapped in suggestions. Around 99 per cent of these were rejected by the computer as likely to increase the unhappiness of mankind. It became known that the rejects included suggestions submitted by the World Council of Churches and by many other pressure groups. This still left 31,000 suggestions that were accepted by the computer as worthy of ongoing analysis. As these were honed, and details were added to the most interesting, an exciting consensus began to emerge. Later programmes were watched by nearly a billion people as it became recognised that something important was being born.

These audiences were swollen by successful telegimmicks. The presenter of the first part of the first programme was a roly-poly professor who was that year's Nobel laureate in economics, and who proved a natural television personality. He explained that economists now agreed that aid programmes could sometimes help poor countries, but sometimes most definitely made their circumstances worse. When Mexico was inflating at over 80 per cent a year in the early 1980s , the inflow to it of huge loanable funds made its inflation even faster and its crash more certain. The professor set Mexico's 1979-1981 economy on the model, pumped in the loaned funds and showed how all the indicators ( higher inflation, lower real gross domestic product and so on) then flashed red, signaling an economy getting worse, rather than green, signaling an economy getting better. ..The professor then put the model back to mirror the contemporary world of 2005, and played into it various nostrums that had been recommended by politicians of left, right and centre, but mostly left. The dials generally flashed red. Then the professor provided another set of recommendations , and asked viewers who wished to play to tap in their own guesses on the consequent movement of key economics variables in the model. Those who got their guesses right to within a set error were told they had qualified for a second round of a knock-out economic guesstimators' world championship. Knockout competitions of this sort continued for viewers throughout the series of programmes.

In the second part of that first programme, the presenters dared to introduce two political decisions into the game. They said that government-to-government aid programmes had been particularly popular among politicians during the age of over-government, but there was growing agreement that government-to-government aid was the worst method of hand-out. The excessive role played by governments in poor countries was one of the barriers to their economic advance, and a main destroyer of their people's freedom. Could anyone have thought it would be wise to give aid to President Mbogo?

In consequence, the most successful economic aid programmes had been those operated through the International Monetary Fund, which imposed conditions on how borrowing governments should operate. The professor showed that IMF-monitored operations in most years had brought more green flashes from the model than red. But this involved IMF officials - often from the rich countries - in telling governments of poor countries what to do; and one of the objectives of this town meeting of the world was to diminish such embarrassments.

The first questions to be asked in the next few programmes, said the compilers, were 1) which countries should qualify for aid? ; and having decided that, 2) up to what limits and conditions? ; and 3) through what mechanisms? They promised that later programmes after the first half-dozen would examine how any scheme could be used to diminish the power of governments and increase the power of free markets and free people.

Changing employment

In a typical 21st C scene, obedience to consumer needs is shown by every car plant in the world because of better and more customised information available on all our TCs. Most people buying a car in 2024 will key into their special requirements into their TCs.

The TC will reply: "You can get a customised car which meets all of your specifications by putting personalised instructions on the software of the assembly line's robots in one of these factories (choice of nine) requesting that the next car on the line be modified as you dictate. But that would cost up to $40,000 (Click to factories for quotations and credit facilities). For a fifth of that price, you can meet most of your requirements by the following standard computer programme at present scheduled for production in June at Nissan Kanpur; or July at Ford Manila (and so on). Click to factories for precise specifications and prices.

All of this has become commonplace after 2000. How has it affected employment?

For a new industry of 2019-2024 let us cite the intendedly short-lived example of the Clark-Schmidt Robot Gardener. Matthew Clark was a 53-year old on his third university course (he had started the other two at the ages of nineteen and thirty-seven respectively) telecommuted through the University of Southern California, although he took it while living in his native Australia , when, together with two other student's telecommuting through USC's database, he devised a system for a robot-driven lawnmower which could also scan soil and assess the possibilities for reseeding. It signaled the videos to be called up on your TC to show alternative uses for the soil in your garden. If you picked one video display that particularly suited your taste, you keyed in its number into the Robot Gardener and it signaled back, 'put such-and-such chemical into my tank and seeds 1234, 3456 (et cetera), plus software program 29387 - both orderable through your TC - into my reseeder.'

Clark and his two colleagues put their tentative ideas for this device on the researchers' database monitored by the University of Southern California. The entry numbers to the USC database were held by people who had promised to accept the computer's judgement of the value of any ideas they might contribute to projects entered on it. In all, 1213 people - domiciled from Hanoi through Penang and Capri and Bermuda back to Queensland in Australia itself - tapped in suggestions for improvements, of which 176 were accepted nby the computer as worthwhile. The payments recommended by the computer ranged from $42 ( for a cosmetic improvement recommended by an eleven-year-old schoolboy) to one tenth of the equity (eventually worth several million dollars) for a proposal by a research team from another telecommuting university which proved important enough for Clark to feel slightly guilty about calling the Robot Gardener after himself.

When the improvements suggested by these 176 contributors had been incorporated by Clark into the appropriate software program for making the Robot Gardener , it was advertised on USC's entrepreneur-browsing program available on any TC. Entry numbers for the lowest echelons of this can be bought for a very few dollars, but the Robot Gardener was put on a higher echelon because USC's computer had signaled this was a potential quick winner.

One of those who had paid for an expensive entry number into browsing among good 'proffered opportunity products' (POPs) was a Dutchman called Carl Schmidt. He had become a successful 'arranging producer' in an earlier venture, and now occupied himself browsing through his TC looking for a second bonanza. He made an offer to Clark to tale an option for launch in return for a fairly complicates programme of profit sharing, which in practice (because arranging is nowadays a more skilled job than inventing) eventually gave Schmidt more money than Clark. Clark accepted this and Schmidt produced a prototype within three days by reprogramming robots in an experimental plant. A video of the prototype was put on consumers' TC channels worldwide the next week, and most of the 400 odd gardeners' TC channels round the world picked it out within days as a 'best buy'.

Schmidt's video advertisement said 'If you key in your order now with your credit number, you can get a Robot Gardener for a bargain price (applies to the first 10,000 orders only). Tenders are also invited for part of the equity.' The advance orders and bids for equity made it possible to finance assembly of the Robot Gardener for early-bid customers within a few weeks...

Note that there was never any intention that Robot Gardeners Inc should grow into a huge and long-lasting company. Clark and Schmidt are already researching and browsing into other possibilities, on separate courses. About fifty of those who succeeded by early participation in this venture hope to become the equivalent of Clark and Schmidt in other things.

At no stage has this enormously successful manufacturing venture employed more than 1000 people. It is therefore true that the loss of nine-tenths of manufacturing jobs , which we saw has been highest in car-making in rich countries, has also been true there in manufacturing jobs as a whole. Where these countries had 20-40 per cent of their workforces in manufacturing in 1974, they typically have 2-4 per cent now.

This is not an unprecedented rundown. In the 1890s around half of the workforce in countries like the United States were in three occupations: agriculture, domestic service and jobs to do with horse transport. By the 1970s these three were down to 4 per cent of the workforce. If this had been foretold in the 1890s, there would have been a wail. It would have been said that half the population was fit only to be farmworkers, parlourmaids and sweepers-up of horse manure. Where would this half find jobs? The answer was by the 1970s the majority of them were much more fully employed ( because more married women joined the workforce) doing jobs that would have sounded double-Dutch in the 1890s: extracting oil instead of fish out of the North Sea; working as computer programmers, or as television engineers, or as package-holiday tour operators chartering jet aircraft.

The move in jobs in the past fifty years in the rich countries has been out of manufacturing and into telecommuting.

Changing education

"Now that TCs are universal and can access libraries of books, 3-d video, computer programs, you name it, it is clear that the tasks of both the Educator and the Communicator are far more stimulating that ten years ago.

One of my recent lessons with my ten-year-old daughter Julie was in art appreciation. In the standard art appreciation course the TC shows replicas of famous artists' pictures, and a computer asks the pupil to match the artist to the picture. Julie said to the computer that it would be fun to see Constable's Haywain as Picasso might have drawn it. The computer obliged with its interpretation , and then ten more stylised haywains appeared together with the question 'who might have drawn these?'. I believe we are the first to have prompted the TC along this road, but it may now become a standard question when the computer recognises a child with similar learning patterns to Julie's.

It is sometimes said that today's isolated sort of teaching has robbed children of the capacity to play and interact with other children. This is nonsense. We ensure that Julie and her four year old brother Pharon have lots of time to play with children in our neighbourhood . But in work we do prefer to interact with children who are of mutual advantage to Julie and to each other. The computer is an ace teacher, but so are people. You really learn things if you can teach them to someone else. Our computer has helped us to find a group of four including Julie with common interests, who each have expertise in some particular areas to teach the others.

The TC also makes it easier to play games within the family. My parents used to play draughts, halma, then chess with me. They used to try to be nice to me and let me win. This condescending kindness humiliated me, and I always worked frenetically to beat my younger brother (who therefore always lost and dissolved into tears.) Today Julie, Pharon and I play halma together against the graded computer, and Julie and I play it at chess. The computer knows Pharon's standard of play at halma and Julie's and mine at chess. Its default setting is at that level where each of us can win but only if we play at our best. Thus Pharon sometimes wins his halma game while Julie and I are simultaneously losing our chess game, and this rightly gives Pharon a feeling of achievement. When Julie and I have lost at chess, we usually ask the computer to re-rerun the game, stopping at out nmistakes and giving a commentary. As it is a friendly computer it does a marvelous job of consoling us. Last week it told Julie that the world champion actually once made the same mistake as she had done - would she like to see that game?

I intend to devote the next two letters to the subjects I have discussed here , but retailing the best of your suggestions instead of droning on with mine."

While the computer's role in children's education is mainly that of instructor (discovering a child's learning pattern and responding to it) and learning group matcher, its main role in higher education is as a store of knowledge. Although a computer can only know what Man has taught it, it has this huge advantage. No individual man lives or studies long enough to imbibe within himself all the skills and resources that are the product of the millennia of man's quest for knowledge, all the riches and details from man's inheritance of learning passed on from generation to generation. But any computer today can inherit and call up instantly any skill which exists anywhere in the form of a program.

This is why automatically updated databases are today the principal instruments of higher education and academic research. It is difficult for our generation to conceive that only forty years ago our scientists acted as tortoise-like discoverers of knowledge, confined to small and jealous cliques with random and restricted methods of communicating ideas. Down until the 1980s the world has several hundred sepaate cancer research organisations with no central co-ordinating database.
