People should be able to do simple mental arithmetic by the age of 8. A basic skill! Probability theory was important in *any* age. Yes, it should be taught much more -- I had no access to formal instruction 'til university and was scandalized grad stats proceeded w/o prob. foundations.
But "technological change would transform the world" seems like an empty gesture. World has been in tech change my whole lifetime. AI advocates have this weird millenarianism.
