the silicon valley education foundation came together with the hispanic foundation of silicon valleyeaf, another nonprofit organization in the santa clara county office of ed. and we all got together and decided how can we lift the latino community here in san jose? what is that going to take so that we have long lasting sustainable economic mobility for the students in east san jose? so we got together and the research is there on what needs to be done and put together an initiative and then sought funding and we were able to launch at the beginning of last year in january of 2023. this initiative is actually two-prong. the first prong is the short term funding for supplemental services that the school districts in east san jose cannot afford. the much more important prong is the long term funding solution that the state of california must address so that the students in east san jose can thrive, that they can become the workforce of silicon valley, and that we can secure an economically mobile future for them. damian: because right now, we're not guaranteeing that, right? right now

now a silicon valley congressman is stepping up with a bold warning. today "the new york times" publishing this op-ed by congressman ro khanna. he acknowledges that a.i. will bring tremendous benefits, but he also says that a.i. develops at lightning speed. as it does, we need to protect our workers, the humans. here are some of his key points. first, working class people need to have a seat at the table, a say on how a.i. will change their jobs. he brought up a recent state bill here in california that would have required drivers, humans, to be in the cabin of driverless big rig trucks for the first five years. he said no one understands the safety risks better than the drivers themselves. that bill, by the way, was vetoed by governor gavin newsom. congressman khanna also writes workers should get a share in company profits and not solely on hours worked. he said it's the only way workers can fully thrive as a.i. increases america's productive capacity. joining us now from palo alto is congressman ro khanna fresh off a flight from washington, d.c. rep

harris marks writes about technology, including the book about silicon valley and transportation. you know, many people have the experience of being stuck in traffic. and of course people don't like that. and there's also the high cost of kind of owning a vehicle if you have to do that in order to get around. and unfortunately, you know, in many places, transit services are not always the most accessible. the most efficient, even the most affordable. all excess ability and climate might sound important in our tech saviors focus is elsewhere. this, but this fundamentally is what we're trying to solve. you'll be, we've all been there many, many times. we must so solve, solve the soldiers, right? traffic situation, traffic jams are so universally hated that there's a bunch of jokes and move all these issues. mean there's certainly plenty of room for improvement. little wonder that tech chains jump down to the transit bandwagon . big tech has reshape the economy and flashy hype. fuel presentation, no matter what their substance were, key just because silicon valley and because of the

david: where do you think the future of technology is going in silicon valley and elsewhere over thet five or 10 years? deborah: technology is an underpinning. it is not its own industry but part of every industry. it's going to make our lives better. ♪ david: would you say that you have had discrimination because you are a woman or because you are asian or no discrimination? deborah: i look at it differently. each of our experiences is shaped by our experience and the experience of people around us. if you look at statistics -- for instance, lean in and mckenzie did a study where 80 women are promoted for every 1400 men. if you look at the studies from us and, asian american women make a larger percentage of the base of companies and yet rarely make it to executive levels. i don't think it is overt discrimination at all. i don't think anyone pointed to me and said she's definitely not going to be the right type of leader because she is a woman or asian. i think if you look as a whole, it is harder for those who are underrepresented in various ways. that said, i don't think it is abo
