"It is the ability to step back and ask, ‘Just because we can do this, should we?"

hence the need for a total remake on how we fund education, I believe what we are currently seeing is decades of defunding of public schools

the US is traditionally the powerhouse of educational research, but so failing in educating a general public

by design no?

more on the LATAMization of the US
teaching as political act

the constitution is clear on this one
this is overreach

at this point, the digital device is basically a tracker

meanwhile, schools are training grounds for democracies

assessment, equity of access, teacher workload, and a discussion of "affordances", are there common aligned horizons on goals, beliefs, capabilities, and experiences?

outsourcing high risk decisions:
is AI advising on curriculum, admissions, mental health, discipline?

IP/authorship confusion:
who owns AI-assisted outputs, training data rights, copyrighted inputs, and research?

data governance failures:
clear policies on student/faculty data?

epistemic drift:
what counts as coursework, as research?

corporate capture:
are we becoming dependent on some non-democratic corporate structures?

mission creep:
is this Ai for admin efficiency? At what point is it overstepping into surveillance?

big tool shift creates reflections institutions are not ready for, we saw this in the 2008-2012 tech shift with GAFE and iPads

the Ai shift is bigger, and it is only beginning
but the wrong topics are being discussed...

#ai threatens to erode the core liberal arts values, students may skip the slow work that builds interpretation, synthesis, moral reasoning, and intellectual courage

teachers become the protectors of ambiguity, contradiction, and discomfort - culture as a continuous construction

motivation in schools
get lots of these
short intense exercise, just enough to get the blood pumping

I have taken to half mile runs at recess
it works wonders for getting the brain ready for the next sprint

@businessinsider.com might want to get more serious on writing about what the future of learning should look like. It should not be decided or influenced by someone only interested in preserving certain parts of the human genome.

THE mind of the future, the ethical one.
