The difference is we can now see the disconnect more clearly, and the consequences of inaction are dramatic. AI has become an X-ray for our education system, revealing critical fractures that have long been masked by traditional assessment methods. When information is universally accessible, success increasingly depends on developing adaptive skills that our current educational approach has struggled to prioritize because they're notoriously difficult to teach and measure at scale.
Like many students, Nicole Acevedo has come to rely on artificial intelligence. The 15-year-old recently used it to help write her speech for her quinciñera. When she waits too long on completing homework, Nicole admitted, she leans on the technology so she can hand assignments in on time. Her school, located in the Greenpoint/Williamsburg area of Brooklyn, has also embraced artificial intelligence. But it is hoping to harness it in ways that supplement learning rather than supplant it.
"Every iteration of ClassDojo is built on feedback from the people who use it," said Chad A. Stevens, Ph.D., ClassDojo's Head of K-12 Engagement. "Superintendents were clear that they wanted to use tools that were already rapidly adopted and loved by school staff. So, we built tools that bring the whole district together-with consistency, control, and care."
Harari's Nexus provides a significant historical context for understanding AI by placing it within the evolution of information networks, demonstrating how technology continuously alters communication forms.
Google’s Gemini AI suite now equipped with over 30 new features is aimed at enhancing personalized learning and helping educators adapt AI in classrooms effectively.
Staff augmentation enables organizations to enhance flexibility, efficiently allocate resources, and leverage external expertise, thus maximizing their operational capabilities.
The alarming reality is that AI-driven learning can perpetuate biases present in data sources, leading to unfair treatment and unequal opportunities for diverse learners.
"The goal of research and peer review is to deploy the reasoned judgment of subject matter experts... I cannot fathom... outsourcing it to a simulation is acceptable..."
Adobe Captivate's AI-based text-to-speech feature allows course creators to convert closed captions into realistic audio easily, significantly streamlining the voiceover process.
"AI's greatest strength in L&D today is as an acceleratorânot a disruptor. Rather than upending established workflows, AI can enhance them: speeding content creation, sharpening search and discovery, and optimizing delivery across learner groups."
