analyze the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats
(SWOT) of education not only for the

to discuss, frame, and prioritize their recommendations to help
ensure trusted technology advances freedom through education. The
outcome of the Education Advisory Council for the Global Tech
Security Commission was to inform the Krach Institute for Tech
Diplomacy's Global Tech Security Strategy and its forthcoming Tech
Diplomacy Academy.
Stoever's Education Advisory Council made three
recommendations.
1. Establish Standards for Ethical and Trusted Use of
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
a. Encourage organizations to develop internal
processes and expectations to heighten awareness of security
concerns related to how AI and large language models (LLMs) should
be used.
b. Develop federal AI standards that, in
coordination with international standards:
i. Fuel teaching, learning, working, and
workforce preparation,
ii. Ensure information within LLMs is
authoritative, infuses appropriate human judgment, and prioritizes
ethical considerations, and
iii. Help lead the development of domestic
legislation and regulation as well as international standards.
2. Develop a National Education Framework
a. Develop national priorities and align federal
departments' and agencies' incentive programs (e.g., grants,
awards, prizes, etc.) with workforce requirements,
b. Establish accountability mechanisms that are
aligned with incentive structures and incorporated into award
processes, and
c. Create more, well-prepared K-12 teachers
focused on aligning postsecondary education and industry
expectations.
3. Strengthen Resilience, Security, and Integrity of Research
Processes
a. While being attentive to protecting
intellectual property (IP) created by research universities,
safeguarding research assets, and restricting tech transfer,
b. Ensure the ability to continue to recruit
international graduate students to US universities thereby
securing/stabilizing/protecting the talent pipeline for US
research, IP, discovery, and innovation.
