Arkansas absolutely dominated in its opening game, so it was a nice debut for offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino. Well, it was a return to Arkansas for the OC.

“Bobby, I’m sure he feels pretty good tonight,” Arkansas coach Sam Pittman said postgame “Ten tries and 10 touchdowns, that’s that’s hard to do. I don’t care who you play. So, I’m really happy for him and told the team, I think it’s the first time in history that that’s happened, and it happened when Bobby came back. The legend is going to continue to grow. Good for him, he deserves it.”

The Cowboys rolled too, but head coach Mike Gundy had one of the best quotes of the weekend when he jokingly said he should hire Connor Stalions. Stalions was the alleged mastermind behind the Michigan sign-stealing scandal.

It was in relation to Gundy adjusting seeing iPads on the sideline.

“They have them upstairs and down,” Gundy said about the iPads. “That will be a discussion in the morning, what we got out of it, what changes we need to make. This is all so new. The earpiece.

“It will be interesting when we review it in the morning, you try to learn and make it better… The technology is so different this year. I didn’t use it, I don’t have time to look at that and then also know what’s going on on the field. I need to know what’s going on in the game to make decisions. If I was looking at a tablet, it would be hard for me to do that as a play caller.”

A follow-up question was then asked if Gundy could be in on the conversation between quarterback Alan Bowman and offensive coordinator Kasey Dunn. Gundy replied he was not but did joke about potentially hiring Connor Stalions to get some help with the technology before referencing the Shaggy song “It Wasn’t Me.”

“If anybody is a good IT guy,” Gundy said. “We can get the guy from Michigan here and let him hook me up. Even though he didn’t do it.”

Arkansas Governor joins national A.I. workforce initiative

Arkansas Governor joins national A.I. workforce initiative

LITTLE ROCK, AR (KATV) — Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders has joined a new national artificial intelligence initiative that launched Thursday, June 25.

RAISE US, started by former Governor Eric Holcomb of Indiana and Gina Raimondo, former U.S. Secretary of Commerce is a nonpartisan national organization that will partner with governors, employers, workers and training organizations to help the workforce transition to an AI economy.

“As artificial intelligence transforms America’s economy, we have one clear message: technology should empower people, not replace them. By leveraging our Arkansas LAUNCH initiative, and with the resources and expertise provided by RAISE US, Arkansas will turn that mission into reality. We want the Natural State to be a leader on education, workforce training, and up-skilling, and this new partnership gives us the tools we need to build a model for the entire nation.”

The organization will design and pilot incentives to retrain workers, new approaches to support job transitions, and training models tied to employer demand.

RAISE US launches with more than two dozen American companies and philanthropies and initial state partnerships in Connecticut, Maryland and Utah.

“America has a technology strategy for leading the global AI competition. It does not yet have a people strategy — and we cannot lead without one,” Raimondo, who will serve as CEO of RAISE US, said.

“If we build the best AI systems in the world and leave millions of Americans behind, we won’t have won anything; we’ll have automated our own decline. I believe AI will create new jobs and industries over time, but the transition could be disruptive, and it’s already underway. We shouldn’t fearmonger, but we can’t pretend our training and worker support systems are ready either. It’s time for innovative and practical solutions. This moment demands ambition, urgency, and creativity. We’ve assembled the country’s top companies, best economists, and bipartisan governors at a scale rarely seen — all to advance new ideas and incentives, pilot them with governors and business, and scale what works.”

Governor Sanders is partnering with RAISE US to support Arkansas LAUNCH, an AI-powered career navigation platform that connects students and jobseekers to personalized learning and employer-linked career pathways.
