Thinking of creating a Hogwarts of AI magic

The US government's approach of letting Silicon Valley drive the country's technological boom has left the government itself scrambling for tech talent.

A federal commission led by ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt and former Deputy Secretary of Defense Robert O. Work wants to create a university to train new government coders.

Dubbed the US Digital Service Academy, the university would be an accredited, degree awarding university that trains students in digital skills like cybersecurity and artificial intelligence.

Students would get a traditional school year of coursework, with internships in the public and private sector during summers.

The Digital Service Academy would theoretically supply the United States with a fresh stream of young talent already ideologically invested in serving the federal government.

It would compete with elite institutions like Stanford and MIT, where graduates often have their pick of private-sector work and have the option of going into the public sector if they choose.
