A<\/span>I is the\u00a0bete<\/em>\u00a0noire<\/em> of America\u2019s Left. The Left loves to hate it because it absolves them of their failures and enables their proclivities.<\/p>\n

Nowhere has the Left done a worse job than in America\u2019s education system.<\/p>\n

In K-12, through their\u00a0control\u00a0of\u00a0teacher unions, they pushed for\u00a0school closures during the COVID pandemic, despite the virus being less severe in children, and then fought to keep schools closed as long as possible. The resulting remote learning caused\u00a0large learning losses\u00a0that have still not been\u00a0recouped. The consequences of COVID closures only overlay longer-term lags\u00a0in learning, as leftist teacher unions push\u00a0indoctrination over education. As the consequences of indoctrination over education come home to roost in falling test scores, teacher unions push for more resources \u2014 notably in administrative positions \u2014 even as enrollments drop\u00a0and\u00a0absenteeism remains high. And what is the response of the leftist teacher unions? To oppose school choice, which gives children greater access to better-performing schools.\u00a0(RELATED: Graduated, Not Educated)<\/strong><\/p>\n

As we have seen in\u00a0disruption after disruption on college campuses, especially the self-proclaimed \u201celite\u201d ones, the push for indoctrination is even greater; its effects are only blunted by the fact that school choice already exists for colleges.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, the result of the Left\u2019s heavy hand in education has consequences. Not the least of these has been a large portion of students arriving unprepared for college, a\u00a0large portion leaving college unprepared for work, and increasing numbers of students and parents\u00a0questioning the value of increasingly expensive college degrees.\u00a0(RELATED: Five Quick Things: Rip-off U.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

For America\u2019s Left, AI\u2019s revolution is offering new excuses for their failures\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

For the left-dominated education system facing (but not admitting) the consequences of their pronounced and prolonged efforts to make schools laboratories for social policy rather than institutions of learning, AI is a godsend. It is because it absolves the Left of the consequences of their educational policies. Suddenly, the Left can blame AI for taking jobs from newly minted college grads (the students most affected by COVID lockouts and the Left\u2019s strongest pushes for DEI over the \u201cthree Rs\u201d) rather than for them making so many grads unemployed.\u00a0(RELATED: Who\u2019s Teaching Those AI Machines Your Kids Will Learn From?)<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, it is not only education where the Left\u2019s failures seek a technological excuse for their policies\u2019 consequences. Another is their push for unions, which raises the cost\u00a0of everything they encounter, and for\u00a0ever-higher minimum wages, as well as opposition to any exemptions for first-time workers who desperately need to learn skills on the job (because they didn\u2019t learn them in school). The upshot of all is an increase in the cost of labor (additionally raised by the Left\u2019s demands for ever higher benefits in areas like health care). Naturally, these higher labor costs are a tempting target for businesses looking to reduce them with AI applications. Once again, the Left can blame AI for taking away jobs rather than accepting the blame that they have consistently pushed for policies that have raised labor costs to uncompetitive levels.<\/p>\n

Blaming AI meshes equally well with the Left\u2019s proclivities, too. The Left has always believed in never letting a crisis go to waste and always being on the lookout for the next. Voila<\/em>! AI comes to the rescue: It serves as their latest crisis.<\/p>\n

When the Left finally had to concede that its\u00a0worst-case climate change scenarios\u00a0no longer apply, they can now\u00a0blame AI for excessively using resources and requiring more electricity generation. Sound familiar? Even as the Left lost on its most alarmist global climate change prognostications, AI gives them the opportunity to sound the same alarms but for different reasons.<\/p>\n

For their penchant against wealth and the private sector\u2019s growth, AI is minting new wealthy and new successful companies by the day. Both things that the Left can look to punitively tax \u2014 as Senator Warren (D-MA) is already proposing.<\/p>\n

Because of their penchant for regulation, AI offers vast new areas for it. And because the power to regulate is commensurate with the power of the thing being regulated, the chance to regulate AI offers the Left a vastly greater scope if AI is the revolutionary, penetrating technology claimed.<\/p>\n

The Left conveniently forgets that AI is spurring a hiring boom in software engineering. As AI is increasingly adopted, other hiring booms and productivity increases will follow, just as they have in the wake of past technology revolutions.<\/p>\n

Preying on fear is what the Left does best. Their\u2019s is a pessimistic mindset: That individuals will fail without government watching over them and without the Left overseeing government. For America\u2019s Left, AI\u2019s revolution is offering new excuses for their failures and new opportunities for their big-government proclivities.<\/p>\n
