  You’ve raised an interesting question about the United Nations’ (UN) struggles to deliver a world-class AI action plan and whether Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike’s suggestion to UN Secretary-General António Guterres to relocate the World Health Organization (WHO) and other UN components to Tokyo could inspire a United Cities AI Action Plan, potentially led by figures like Koike and Michael Bloomberg. Given your focus on vocational training and AI’s role in education, I’ll address how such a city-led AI plan could impact high school vocational teachers, while incorporating Japan’s AI governance context and Koike’s proposal. I’ll keep it concise, avoid political tangents, and use relevant sources to ground the response. ### Context: UN’s AI Action Plan and Koike’s Proposal - **UN’s AI Efforts**: The UN has grappled with creating a cohesive AI governance framework. Its 2024 discussions, including the Global Digital Compact, aimed to set principles for AI safety and ethics but have been criticized for lacking specificity and enforceable mechanisms. Posts on X and web analyses (e.g., CSIS, 2025) highlight the UN’s slow progress, overshadowed by national plans like the U.S.’s (July 2025) and China’s (July 2025), which focus on innovation and industry alignment. The UN’s fragmented approach, reliant on forums like the OECD and GPAI, has failed to match the pace of AI development, supporting your view that it hasn’t delivered a “world-class” plan. - **Koike’s Proposal**: In late 2024, Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike suggested moving WHO and other UN components to Tokyo to enhance global health governance and leverage Japan’s tech infrastructure (e.g., Tokyo’s AI hubs). While not explicitly tied to AI, this aligns with Japan’s Society 5.0 vision, which integrates AI to solve societal challenges like aging populations and urban efficiency. Koike’s broader initiatives, like the “Women in Action” project and sustainability bonds (Tokyo Metropolitan Government, 2024), emphasize innovation and global collaboration, positioning Tokyo as a hub for tech-driven solutions.[](https://www.english.metro.tokyo.lg.jp/w/000-101-004121) - **Bloomberg and City Networks**: Michael Bloomberg, through Bloomberg Philanthropies and the C40 Cities network, has championed city-led solutions for global issues like climate change and public health. While Bloomberg hasn’t proposed a specific AI action plan, his focus on data-driven urban governance (e.g., smart cities) and education reform suggests he’d support a city-led AI initiative. C40’s work on digital transformation could extend to AI, especially in vocational training for smart city jobs. ### Would a United Cities AI Action Plan Make Sense? Yes, a United Cities AI Action Plan led by mayors like Koike and Bloomberg makes sense, especially for vocational training, and could address the UN’s shortcomings. Here’s why, with implications for teachers: 1. **Addressing UN’s Failures**: - **UN’s Weaknesses**: The UN’s AI efforts lack enforceable standards and are slowed by bureaucratic consensus-building across diverse nations. Japan’s Hiroshima AI Process (2024) notes the need for speed in AI governance, but the UN struggles to keep up with rapid tech advancements. A city-led plan could be more agile, focusing on practical, localized AI applications.[](https://www.japan.go.jp/kizuna/2024/02/hiroshima_ai_process.html) - **City Advantage**: Cities like Tokyo, New York, and Singapore are AI innovation hubs with direct access to industry, academia, and communities. They can implement AI solutions faster than global bodies, testing models like AI-driven vocational training (e.g., Tokyo’s AI Meetups, 1,700+ members in 2024). A united cities plan could standardize best practices across urban centers, bypassing UN delays.[](https://www.ulpa.jp/post/the-rise-of-ai-in-japan-a-complete-guide-for-2025) 2. **Relevance to Vocational Training**: - **Localized Skills Development**: Cities are closer to workforce needs than the UN. A United Cities AI Action Plan could prioritize AI training for local industries (e.g., Tokyo’s robotics, New York’s fintech). Teachers could use city-developed AI tools (e.g., NVIDIA’s Cosmos for manufacturing) to teach trades like IT or healthcare, aligning with Jensen Huang’s vision of “physical AI.”[](https://www.ulpa.jp/post/the-rise-of-ai-in-japan-a-complete-guide-for-2025) - **Practical Tools**: Koike’s tech-forward Tokyo (e.g., AI hubs in Shibuya) and Bloomberg’s smart city initiatives could fund XR simulators or AI curricula, unlike the UN’s abstract principles. Teachers could access these to train students in skills like automation or urban tech maintenance. - **Inclusivity**: Bloomberg’s focus on equitable education and Koike’s “Women in Action” align with Fei-Fei Li’s inclusive AI vision, ensuring vocational programs reach diverse students.[](https://www.english.metro.tokyo.lg.jp/w/000-101-004121) 3. **Feasibility of a United Cities Plan**: - **Existing Networks**: C40 Cities, led by figures like Bloomberg, already collaborates on tech-driven urban solutions. Koike’s proposal to host UN components signals Tokyo’s readiness to lead globally. A United Cities AI Action Plan could leverage these networks, with cities like Tokyo, New York, and London sharing AI training models. - **Japan’s AI Leadership**: Japan’s “soft-law” AI governance, emphasized in its 2025 Interim Report, avoids heavy regulation to foster innovation, making it a model for city-led plans. Tokyo’s AI Safety Institute and GPAI Tokyo Center (2024) could anchor such a plan, offering vocational teachers resources like AI safety certifications.[](https://www.csis.org/analysis/new-government-policy-shows-japan-favors-light-touch-ai-regulation)[](https://spfusa.org/publications/allied-on-ai-assurance-technology-to-enhance-ai-security-safety/) - **Bloomberg’s Role**: Bloomberg’s data-driven governance (e.g., visual AI for urban planning) complements Koike’s vision, enabling cities to develop AI tools for vocational training (e.g., smart city maintenance skills).[](https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2023/09/22/world/cities-ai-mapping/) 4. **By 2037**: As we agreed, if AI isn’t the standard teacher in vocational training by 2037, something’s wrong. A city-led plan could accelerate this shift by 2032–2035, as cities can deploy AI tools faster than the UN. Failure to do so would indicate missed opportunities in urban innovation or funding, especially in tech hubs like Tokyo. ### Recommendations for Vocational Teachers - **Monitor City AI Initiatives**: Follow Tokyo’s AI hubs (e.g., Tokyo AI Meetup) and Bloomberg’s C40 projects for training resources.[](https://www.ulpa.jp/post/the-rise-of-ai-in-japan-a-complete-guide-for-2025) - **Integrate Local Tools**: Use city-developed AI platforms (e.g., Tokyo’s robotics simulators, New York’s fintech apps) to teach trades, reflecting Huang’s physical AI focus. - **Teach Urban AI Skills**: Prepare students for smart city jobs (e.g., AI-driven infrastructure maintenance), aligning with Koike and Bloomberg’s urban tech visions. - **Advocate for City Plans**: Encourage local education boards to join a United Cities AI Action Plan, ensuring access to cutting-edge vocational tools. ### Conclusion A United Cities AI Action Plan led by Koike, Bloomberg, and other mayors makes sense to address the UN’s failure to deliver a world-class AI plan. Cities’ agility, industry ties, and focus on practical skills make them ideal for driving AI in vocational training, outpacing the UN’s slow consensus. Such a plan could provide teachers with tools and curricula for trades by 2032–2035, aligning with our agreement that stagnation by 2037 signals systemic issues.

You’ve raised an interesting question about the United Nations’ (UN) struggles to deliver a world-class AI action plan and whether Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike’s suggestion to UN Secretary-General António Guterres to relocate the World Health Organization (WHO) and other UN components to Tokyo could inspire a United Cities AI Action Plan, potentially led by figures like Koike and Michael Bloomberg. Given your focus on vocational training and AI’s role in education, I’ll address how such a city-led AI plan could impact high school vocational teachers, while incorporating Japan’s AI governance context and Koike’s proposal. I’ll keep it concise, avoid political tangents, and use relevant sources to ground the response. ### Context: UN’s AI Action Plan and Koike’s Proposal - **UN’s AI Efforts**: The UN has grappled with creating a cohesive AI governance framework. Its 2024 discussions, including the Global Digital Compact, aimed to set principles for AI safety and ethics but have been criticized for lacking specificity and enforceable mechanisms. Posts on X and web analyses (e.g., CSIS, 2025) highlight the UN’s slow progress, overshadowed by national plans like the U.S.’s (July 2025) and China’s (July 2025), which focus on innovation and industry alignment. The UN’s fragmented approach, reliant on forums like the OECD and GPAI, has failed to match the pace of AI development, supporting your view that it hasn’t delivered a “world-class” plan. - **Koike’s Proposal**: In late 2024, Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike suggested moving WHO and other UN components to Tokyo to enhance global health governance and leverage Japan’s tech infrastructure (e.g., Tokyo’s AI hubs). While not explicitly tied to AI, this aligns with Japan’s Society 5.0 vision, which integrates AI to solve societal challenges like aging populations and urban efficiency. Koike’s broader initiatives, like the “Women in Action” project and sustainability bonds (Tokyo Metropolitan Government, 2024), emphasize innovation and global collaboration, positioning Tokyo as a hub for tech-driven solutions.[](https://www.english.metro.tokyo.lg.jp/w/000-101-004121) - **Bloomberg and City Networks**: Michael Bloomberg, through Bloomberg Philanthropies and the C40 Cities network, has championed city-led solutions for global issues like climate change and public health. While Bloomberg hasn’t proposed a specific AI action plan, his focus on data-driven urban governance (e.g., smart cities) and education reform suggests he’d support a city-led AI initiative. C40’s work on digital transformation could extend to AI, especially in vocational training for smart city jobs. ### Would a United Cities AI Action Plan Make Sense? Yes, a United Cities AI Action Plan led by mayors like Koike and Bloomberg makes sense, especially for vocational training, and could address the UN’s shortcomings. Here’s why, with implications for teachers: 1. **Addressing UN’s Failures**: - **UN’s Weaknesses**: The UN’s AI efforts lack enforceable standards and are slowed by bureaucratic consensus-building across diverse nations. Japan’s Hiroshima AI Process (2024) notes the need for speed in AI governance, but the UN struggles to keep up with rapid tech advancements. A city-led plan could be more agile, focusing on practical, localized AI applications.[](https://www.japan.go.jp/kizuna/2024/02/hiroshima_ai_process.html) - **City Advantage**: Cities like Tokyo, New York, and Singapore are AI innovation hubs with direct access to industry, academia, and communities. They can implement AI solutions faster than global bodies, testing models like AI-driven vocational training (e.g., Tokyo’s AI Meetups, 1,700+ members in 2024). A united cities plan could standardize best practices across urban centers, bypassing UN delays.[](https://www.ulpa.jp/post/the-rise-of-ai-in-japan-a-complete-guide-for-2025) 2. **Relevance to Vocational Training**: - **Localized Skills Development**: Cities are closer to workforce needs than the UN. A United Cities AI Action Plan could prioritize AI training for local industries (e.g., Tokyo’s robotics, New York’s fintech). Teachers could use city-developed AI tools (e.g., NVIDIA’s Cosmos for manufacturing) to teach trades like IT or healthcare, aligning with Jensen Huang’s vision of “physical AI.”[](https://www.ulpa.jp/post/the-rise-of-ai-in-japan-a-complete-guide-for-2025) - **Practical Tools**: Koike’s tech-forward Tokyo (e.g., AI hubs in Shibuya) and Bloomberg’s smart city initiatives could fund XR simulators or AI curricula, unlike the UN’s abstract principles. Teachers could access these to train students in skills like automation or urban tech maintenance. - **Inclusivity**: Bloomberg’s focus on equitable education and Koike’s “Women in Action” align with Fei-Fei Li’s inclusive AI vision, ensuring vocational programs reach diverse students.[](https://www.english.metro.tokyo.lg.jp/w/000-101-004121) 3. **Feasibility of a United Cities Plan**: - **Existing Networks**: C40 Cities, led by figures like Bloomberg, already collaborates on tech-driven urban solutions. Koike’s proposal to host UN components signals Tokyo’s readiness to lead globally. A United Cities AI Action Plan could leverage these networks, with cities like Tokyo, New York, and London sharing AI training models. - **Japan’s AI Leadership**: Japan’s “soft-law” AI governance, emphasized in its 2025 Interim Report, avoids heavy regulation to foster innovation, making it a model for city-led plans. Tokyo’s AI Safety Institute and GPAI Tokyo Center (2024) could anchor such a plan, offering vocational teachers resources like AI safety certifications.[](https://www.csis.org/analysis/new-government-policy-shows-japan-favors-light-touch-ai-regulation)[](https://spfusa.org/publications/allied-on-ai-assurance-technology-to-enhance-ai-security-safety/) - **Bloomberg’s Role**: Bloomberg’s data-driven governance (e.g., visual AI for urban planning) complements Koike’s vision, enabling cities to develop AI tools for vocational training (e.g., smart city maintenance skills).[](https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2023/09/22/world/cities-ai-mapping/) 4. **By 2037**: As we agreed, if AI isn’t the standard teacher in vocational training by 2037, something’s wrong. A city-led plan could accelerate this shift by 2032–2035, as cities can deploy AI tools faster than the UN. Failure to do so would indicate missed opportunities in urban innovation or funding, especially in tech hubs like Tokyo. ### Recommendations for Vocational Teachers - **Monitor City AI Initiatives**: Follow Tokyo’s AI hubs (e.g., Tokyo AI Meetup) and Bloomberg’s C40 projects for training resources.[](https://www.ulpa.jp/post/the-rise-of-ai-in-japan-a-complete-guide-for-2025) - **Integrate Local Tools**: Use city-developed AI platforms (e.g., Tokyo’s robotics simulators, New York’s fintech apps) to teach trades, reflecting Huang’s physical AI focus. - **Teach Urban AI Skills**: Prepare students for smart city jobs (e.g., AI-driven infrastructure maintenance), aligning with Koike and Bloomberg’s urban tech visions. - **Advocate for City Plans**: Encourage local education boards to join a United Cities AI Action Plan, ensuring access to cutting-edge vocational tools. ### Conclusion A United Cities AI Action Plan led by Koike, Bloomberg, and other mayors makes sense to address the UN’s failure to deliver a world-class AI plan. Cities’ agility, industry ties, and focus on practical skills make them ideal for driving AI in vocational training, outpacing the UN’s slow consensus. Such a plan could provide teachers with tools and curricula for trades by 2032–2035, aligning with our agreement that stagnation by 2037 signals systemic issues.

Zuckerberg’s personal superintelligence complements Huang’s agentic AI by focusing on individual empowerment, though it’s less trade-specific. - **Weaknesses**: Meta’s Llama underperformance and LeCun’s theoretical world models lag behind Huang’s actionable hardware (GPUs, Cosmos) and training platforms, making Meta less immediately useful for vocational teachers.[](https://qz.com/meta-ai-superintelligence-openai-mark-zuckerberg) - **Support**: Meta strongly supports Huang’s vision through open-source accessibility and potential world model simulations, but its practical impact is limited compared to Huang’s industry focus. - **Other Gurus**: - **Strongest Support**: Fei-Fei Li’s AI4ALL and Microsoft’s certifications align most closely with Huang’s equalizer vision, providing accessible, practical tools for vocational training. Li’s inclusivity and Microsoft’s IT focus complement Huang’s platforms. - **Moderate Support**: Altman’s OpenAI and Hassabis’ DeepMind offer tools for coding and healthcare training, supporting Huang’s vision but with less vocational specificity. - **Limited Support**: Musk’s xAI is least aligned, as its scientific focus is less relevant to vocational trades. - **NVIDIA Partners (TSMC, SoftBank, IITs)**: These partners’ plans (semiconductor training, robotics, IT) are more vocational than most gurus’, directly supporting Huang’s vision with industry-specific tools, surpassing Meta’s current impact due to hardware and training focus. ### By 2037: Context from Our Agreement As we agreed, if AI isn’t the standard teacher in vocational training by 2037, something’s wrong. Huang’s agentic AI, supported by partners like Microsoft and SoftBank, is on track to achieve this by 2032–2035. Meta’s open-source models and world models could contribute, but their lag in performance and theoretical nature make them less immediate. Li’s AI4ALL is a key ally in ensuring inclusivity, aligning with Huang’s equalizer goal. ### Recommendations for Vocational Teachers - **Use Meta’s Tools**: Leverage Llama for coding education and explore Mistral for localized AI training, aligning with LeCun’s sovereignty focus to teach programming skills. - **Adopt NVIDIA Platforms**: Use Huang’s Cosmos and Isaac GR00T for hands-on robotics and manufacturing training, addressing urgent community questions. - **Incorporate AI4ALL**: Use Li’s curricula to teach AI basics inclusively, complementing Huang’s and Meta’s democratization goals. - **Tap Partner Resources**: Access Microsoft’s certifications and SoftBank’s robotics training to prepare students for AI-driven trades. - **Teach Ethics and Sovereignty**: Integrate LeCun’s and Huang’s emphasis on data sovereignty and ethics to ensure responsible AI use. ### Conclusion Meta’s approach, with Zuckerberg’s personal superintelligence and LeCun’s open-source AI and data sovereignty focus, strongly aligns with Huang’s vision of agentic AI as education’s great equalizer, particularly through accessibility and potential simulations. However, Huang’s hardware-driven, industry-specific tools (e.g., AI factories, digital twins) are more immediately actionable for vocational training than Meta’s lagging Llama or theoretical world models. Among gurus, Fei-Fei Li’s AI4ALL and Microsoft’s certifications offer the strongest support for Huang’s vision, followed by Altman and Hassabis, with Musk’s xAI least aligned due to its non-vocational focus. NVIDIA’s partners (TSMC, SoftBank, IITs) provide the most practical support, surpassing Meta’s current impact.
