Beware of AI Solutions in Search of Educational Problems

This review of another of Bellwether's AI propaganda pieces nails it. Founded by Andy Rotherham, Bellwether is a neoliberal non-profit sludge tank focused on generating reports for the purpose of bending educational institutions to the American corporate will. Rotherham got his start as an education advisor of then-President and neoliberal darling, Bill Clinton. Rotherham successfully leveraged his hanger-on status in the DLC to become a prominent propagandist for expanding the value of the education industry to enriching corporate America's bottom line. As such, he ably represents a long line of parasitic pandhandlers who make a living selling corporate solutions that are desperate for educational problems.
