Artificial intelligence is saving scientists significant amounts of time, but researchers are giving some of those gains back by checking the technology's work, according to a new study involving Google, Google DeepMind, and MIT.

Microsoft has published a draft code of conduct that lays out how its homegrown AI models should behave, with human control taking priority over model capability, autonomy, and even task completion.

As schools become more dependent on digital platforms for instruction, grading, student services, and family communication, resilience depends not only on preventing attacks, but on how quickly leaders can restore trusted data, recover essential services, and keep disruptions from cascading across the school community.

The question shouldn't be how much screen time should students have, but what they are doing, what are they learning, and is technology helping?

Gamified learning has become another target in the conversation about screens in schools. The concern is understandable.

There is growing concern that AI can blunt memory and reasoning. But science shows ways to keep the brain sharp.

With school phone bans of various sorts now underway in 41 states and counting, debates on classroom screen time have shifted focus to the devices ostensibly being used for educational purposes: Chromebooks, iPads, and the like. In response to all the tech backlash, state policymakers are taking swift action, some of which is warranted, but much of which bears signs of legislative haste.

"Faced with quadratic equations, Richard Scott couldn’t resist the temptation.   The Pennsylvania eighth-grader knew that the Google search box on his school laptop was essentially an AI chatbot that would helpfully spit out answers. He started popping algebra questions into the search bar to quickly finish off his daily schoolwork.    By the end of the school year, Scott’s grades were tanking."

We need innovations to reinvent schooling around a positive mindset--and eliminate the breeding ground for cheating oneself out of learning.

"For the first time, the company that owns Canvas analyzed which external learning tools higher education users integrated into the LMS most often. The most popular AI tool didn’t even crack the top 100."

Advanced computing technology could give students with severe physical disabilities a faster, more intuitive way to engage in the classroom.

Artificial intelligence chatbots can feel like a safe outlet for students. Here’s how schools can make sure they’re not going too far.

As AI features flood K-12 curricula, educators are left to filter proven quality from marketing hype.

"A particular kind of confidence comes from knowing how to use a tool without yet knowing what it's for. Ask young people whether they use artificial intelligence (AI) and many will say yes. But ask whether that skill has changed their economic prospects and the answer gets much murkier."

I am an advocate for AI and the vast possibilities for advancement it can bring across the world. Yet, these advancements must not be rushed lest we risk unintended consequences. In the high-tech, high-competition AI field, we are seeing new versions of models rolled out by the frontier companies (OpenAI, Google and Anthropic) every month and a half. I included a Release Cadence Breakdown report by Google Gemini in the “Online: Trending Now” column just a few weeks ago.

"For decades, digital products competed for our attention. The web put information everywhere, social networks turned it into a constant stream, and smartphones made it always accessible, making attention the scarce resource. Entire industries were built around capturing it: feeds, notifications, recommendations, autoplay. The basic logic was simple. If information is everywhere but attention is scarce, the product that wins is the product that gets our attention."

Moderate parents who support some screen time could be important people to consider, as big school districts start to pass limits on ed tech.

AI is making instructional designers think harder, iterate faster, and build the adaptive learning they only used to imagine.

Rather than replacing workers, one opportunity AI offers is to strengthen the handoffs between them.

AI can recommend the decision, and while it may increasingly execute the decision, leaders still own the outcome.​

While pacing AI development might sound like a quick fix, it is far from an easy solution.

Social learning online encourages participation, knowledge sharing, and continuous development as well as effective knoweldge transfer

"A panel of artificial intelligence experts discusses the difficulties of governing the rapidly growing technology as part of Johns Hopkins University's Next Conversations series"

"One after another, the people building the most powerful AI in the world have asked to be regulated.   Dario Amodei, who runs Anthropic, published a 3,800-word essay calling for the industry to slow down and submit to outside oversight.   Sam Altman of OpenAI agreed within the day.   So did Elon Musk.   So did Demis Hassabis, who runs Google DeepMind.   Kevin Roose put it bluntly, “The platforms should be absolutely begging Congress to regulate them, because the alternative is they get sued into oblivion by a bunch of law firms.” Congress, in response, said no."

Giving students access to an AI assistant Khanmigo did not improve math performance above Khan Academy practice alone.

Corporate training rarely teaches AI judgment, yet that is the skills gap the WEF's 2025 report is actually describing.

This article discusses the disclosrure standards for AI-voiced and generated training videos, necessary to retain workforce trust.

Higher education must defend the meaning of learning--and ensure that whatever intelligence AI acquires does not come at the cost of our own.

New report finds educators want better vetting, more input, and greater classroom oversight rather than strict technology limits.

Learn how to integrate AI into teaching while preserving deep learning, authentic assessment, social connection, equity, and the pedagogical principles that support student learning.

Teachers are using AI to develop lesson plans, and in some districts, AI chatbots give students feedback on their work. Meanwhile, the research around how AI can help students is extremely limited.

Learn how an e-portfolio can complement your résumé by showing employers what you can do and how UTRGV Educational Technology students build one throughout their graduate program.

One school even offers pupils a semiconductor qualification to help them get into the industry.

AI use in early years education has risen sharply, with educators reporting time savings alongside concerns about accuracy, safeguarding, data protection and training.

Relying too much on AI will hurt both individuals and organizations in the long run, warns Wharton’s Cornelia Walther.

"Every educator in higher education is grappling with AI right now. But the challenge lands differently in fully asynchronous online environments.   In a face-to-face course, a faculty member develops a running read on each student across the semester. They have heard students speak, watched them work through ideas in discussion, observed the moments where understanding arrived and the moments where it did not. When a submitted paper does not sound like the student who stumbled through an explanation two weeks ago, the discrepancy is recognizable. The faculty member has a reference point outside the artifact itself."
