For me ai's greatest risk is any place that is not transforming education. I first co-authored book on this 1984; fazle abed lot of notes www.catholicuni.com and http://bracnet.ning.com -privileged to travel to bangladesh 15 rimes mainly to meet him in his last decade; you could say his 50 years empowering women to build bangladesh was a game of two halves- villages with no tech (ie no electricity) to 1995, then leapfrog models connecting solar, mobile and from 2001 support of steve jobs who hosted abed's 65th birthday wish party out of which emerged womens university brac- sadly with his death in dec 2019 a lot of partners fell apart during covid and the ai model he had helped jim kim and others plant at un geneva ai for good from 2016 was replaced from 2020 by ignorance.
looking for ai heroines/heroes is surptisingly difficult but now jensen huang has added ai+ education to his causes lets see whoi he finds

Educators, students, communities need more TUMO - an international program after school where teens can practice tech and creativity in civil engineering etc. Here's Genesis summary as at July 2026 (see also nhk trailblazes)
- The Core Concept: It is an innovative, 100% free digital media and tech ecosystem designed for teens aged 12–18. [1, 2]
- The Learning Model: Students take charge of their own education using a specialized software platform. They progress through self-paced activities, workshops, and multi-week project labs led by industry professionals. [1, 2, 3, 4]
- The Focus Areas: It perfectly blends tech and creativity. Teens learn 3D modeling, computer programming, robotics, animation, game design, filmmaking, graphic design, and architectural/civil design. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
- Major Tech & AI Board Members: Prominent AI figures actively help guide TUMO on its board of directors. This includes Rev Lebaredian, the Vice President of Omniverse and Simulation Technology at NVIDIA (the company driving the global AI hardware boom), and Raffi Krikorian, the CTO of Mozilla and former engineering director at Uber Advanced Technologies. [1, 2]
- Prestigious Global Awards: In late 2025, the international community celebrated TUMO when it won the prestigious $1 Million WISE Prize for Education for its breakthrough AI solutions. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
- Praise for Its "AI Co-Learner" Platform: AI researchers highly praise TUMO's proprietary AI system. Instead of just lecturing kids, the AI acts as a peer. It learns alongside the teenager, letting the student teach the AI to reinforce their own technical and machine-learning skills. [1, 2, 3]
- Collaborations with Computational Pioneers: Acclaimed scientists like Stephen Wolfram (creator of Wolfram|Alpha and a pioneer in AI computation) have directly engaged with TUMO's advanced educational initiatives. [1, 2]
