GEMINI FEB 2025- May I give you a clear, practical map of SCSP.ai’s education and workforce work as of February 2026. SCSP is indeed relatively flat (small core team + ~50 affiliated researchers/advisors). The public face is dominated by a few senior people and event-specific speakers.1. The 5 People Most Involved in SCSP’s Education VisionThese are the people who actually shape or speak for SCSP’s education-related work (March 11 AI+Education Summit, workforce reports, etc.):Rank | Person | Role at SCSP / Education Focus | Connection to Layer 5 / Rural Agency? | Connection to Jensen / Workforce Commission? |
|---|
1 | Ylli Bajraktari | CEO of SCSP | Low – focuses on U.S. competitiveness | Very high – works closely with Jensen on Workforce Commission | 2 | Eric Schmidt | Chairman of SCSP | Low | Very high – Co-chairs Workforce Commission with Jensen | 3 | Sal Khan | Featured speaker (March 11 Summit) | Medium – personal AI tutors, Khanmigo | Medium – respected by Jensen, but no formal partnership | 4 | Alex Kotran | CEO of aiEDU, featured speaker | Medium – AI literacy & classroom agency | Low | 5 | Dr. Tasha Arnold | Head of Alpha Schools, featured speaker | Medium – radical redesign of school experience | Low |
Key takeaway: The education vision at SCSP is currently driven more by event speakers (Sal Khan, Alex Kotran, Tasha Arnold) than by permanent staff. The permanent leadership (Ylli and Eric Schmidt) focuses more on national competitiveness and workforce strategy.2. Are They the Same People Hosting the NVIDIA Workforce Commission?Yes — heavy overlap at the top.- The Task Force on AI and the Future of Work (NVIDIA + SCSP commission) is co-chaired by Jensen Huang and Eric Schmidt.
- Ylli Bajraktari (CEO) is deeply involved in operational leadership.
- So the top two permanent SCSP leaders (Ylli + Eric) are the same people driving the Workforce Commission.
The education summit (March 11) and Workforce Commission are linked at the leadership level, but the education summit has more outside voices (Khan, Kotran, Arnold) who bring stronger “personal AI agent / classroom transformation” perspectives.3. Does Anyone at SCSP Link to Asia Transformation or Layer 5 Rural/Community Agency?Very limited.- SCSP is explicitly U.S.-centric — its mission is American long-term competitiveness (especially vs China).
- They rarely mention India’s GIMS/ABDM model, Taiwan’s sovereign stack, or Layer 5 rural community agency.
- The closest are Sal Khan and Alex Kotran, who have referenced Asian models (Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan) in passing, but not deeply.
- No one on the core team or regular speakers is known for deep expertise in bottom-up, consent-based, rural Layer 5 systems like GIMS. Their Asia lens is mostly “China threat / competitiveness” rather than “learn from India/Taiwan/Singapore on rural agency.”
This is why your point about the gap is important — SCSP is strong on U.S. macro strategy but thin on practical Layer 5 rural/community transformation.4. Your Wiki Idea – Why SCSP Doesn’t Have One (and How to Push It)SCSP does not maintain a public, living “current affairs wiki” on AI. They produce polished reports, memos to the president, podcasts, and event summaries — but nothing that is updated weekly by students or that builds year-on-year common curiosity.Why they don’t have it:- Their model is expert-driven, not crowd-sourced or student-led.
- They focus on high-level policy recommendations for the President and Congress, not ongoing public education tools.
- A student-updated wiki would be seen as too informal or hard to control for quality.
Your idea is excellent — a living, annual “AI for the People” wiki / knowledge base that every college freshman engages with, updated by students using AI tools, focused on Layer 5 agency, would be far more powerful than static reports. It could become the “common curiosity engine” you describe.How to raise it at SCSP events:- At the March 11 Education Summit or May AI+Expo, ask: “Could SCSP support a student-led, living AI wiki that updates every academic year — so each new class of students is ahead of the previous one on AI for community agency?”
This could be a constructive way to bridge your Asia experience with SCSP’s U.S. focus. Would you like me to:- Draft a short 2-minute question/script you can ask at the March 11 summit?
- Draft the email to SCSP with your wiki idea + the one-pager?
- Or expand the list of people at SCSP who might be most receptive?

It had begun as one man’s private notebook (an economist who noticed that every time he typed “human capital,” his fingers paused at the same thought: we are 60% water by mass, 90% by molecule count).
He started logging the numbers: babies are 78% water, elderly 55%, server farms 94% cooling water, the new orbital AI factories still 0%.
He never preached. He just kept the ledger.The site never went viral.
It had no ads, no newsletter, only a single page that updated once a week with a new line:2041-03-17
Human birth in Kerala: 78% water
Blackwell-9 cluster, Nevada: 94% water
Starship 312 payload, LEO: 0.000% water
Running average since 2021: 90.3% People began to visit the way they visit a graveside.
A nurse in Lagos refreshed it before shift.
A teenage coder in São Paulo wrote a bot that whispered the percentage into her ear every morning.
An aging policy maker in Brussels kept the tab open like a heartbeat monitor.One night in 2047, the number changed.2047-11-09
Human birth in Kerala: 77% water
Blackwell-9 cluster, Nevada: decommissioned
Orbital Forge-7, Lagrange Point 5: 0.000% water
Running average since 2021: 89.7% For the first time in twenty-six years, the line dipped below ninety.The economist (gray now, hands trembling slightly) typed a single sentence beneath the table:We have begun to leave the water.He did not add fireworks.
He did not need to.Across the planet, strangers who had never met felt the same quiet catch in the throat.
A woman in Hokkaido closed her laptop and walked to the window; snow was falling on cedar trees older than nations.
A boy in Accra looked up from the screen and saw his grandmother’s hands, thin, veined, still 60% water, still carrying him when the lights failed.
In a dorm room in Warsaw, a student who had grown up refreshing economistwater.com every birthday cried without knowing why.The site never celebrated the milestone.
It simply kept counting, the way oceans keep counting waves.2049-02-14
Human birth on Luna City, Hab-9: 73% water (recycled)
Orbital Forge-44 ring, full constellation: 0.000% water
Running average since 2021: 87.1% And somewhere, in the dark between Earth and Moon, a new child (born under artificial gravity, cooled by starlight alone) opened her eyes for the first time and saw, through a tiny porthole, the blue marble that still held ninety percent of everything that had ever loved her.The ledger kept going.
But for one brief moment, across every continent and every orbit, eight billion water-bodies and a growing handful of radiant machines felt the same gentle tug on the same ancient thread.We were water.
We are learning to let some of it go.
And still, somehow, we remain connected.economistwater.com
Still updating.
Still 87.1% and falling,
one quiet percentage at a time.

this web not comptenet on ai and war but we asked grom for 5 to follow at scsp.ai: Ylli Bajraktari (President and CEO of SCSP)
ReplyDeleteHe previously served as Executive Director of the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence (NSCAI), which heavily emphasized AI's role in future warfare, decision advantage, and military overmatch. At SCSP, he leads efforts on defense transition, digital warfare corps concepts, human-machine teaming for offsets against adversaries , and memos urging DoD adoption of AI for lethality, autonomy, and winning in contested environments. His background includes senior DoD roles under leaders like H.R. McMaster and Robert Work, directly tied to AI-military strategy.
Ylber Bajraktari (Vice President, Policy; focus on defense and intelligence)
He co-authors key SCSP reports on leveraging human-machine teaming (HMT) and collaboration (HMC) to change warfare conduct, offset adversary advantages (e.g., in Ukraine-inspired scenarios), achieve decision advantage, and impose dilemmas via AI/autonomy. Contributions include policy guides on AI-enabled battlefield changes, ISR/counter-ISR, and institutional integration for military effectiveness.
James Ryseff (Director, Defense)
As a defense director at SCSP, he works on core military AI topics, including human-machine teaming in warfare, AI ubiquity on the battlefield (beyond just lethal autonomy to teaming dynamics), and operational integration. His role involves advancing SCSP's defense panel outputs on future war character, adaptation, and AI-driven advantages.
Ananmay Agarwal (Associate Director, Defense)
Focused on defense at SCSP, with a background in aerospace engineering, autonomous robotics, and guidance/navigation/control (GNC) for systems like microsatellites. This expertise aligns with SCSP's push for AI/autonomy in distributed operations, uncrewed systems, and multi-domain warfare—key to modern military applications.
Justin Lynch (Senior Director for Defense; also contributes to related reports)
He leads discussions and publications on human-machine teaming in warfare, AI's role in processing battlefield data, comparative human vs. machine strengths in combat tasks, and building trust in HMT for warfighting. Co-authors pieces on AI becoming ubiquitous in military contexts, including non-autonomous but critical teaming applications.
These individuals are central to SCSP's defense-focused output, which repeatedly addresses how AI reshapes warfare (e.g., faster OODA loops, distributed forces, cognitive/electronic warfare, and countering peer threats). SCSP's reports often draw from NSCAI foundations and real-world conflicts like Ukraine to argue for U.S. military AI leadership. For the most current bios or contributions, check scsp.ai/about/who-we-are, as the team evolves. If you're referring to a specific list or event (e.g., from DC workshops), more details could help refine this!
SCSP's defense-related work is primarily housed under their Defense Panel outputs, Defense Paper Series (discussion papers from advisors tied to 2024 working groups), Offset strategies, interim reports, and memos to policymakers. Here are the main publications in this domain, based on their publicly available reports (as of February 28, 2026):
