Students Turn to AI to Find the Right College, Major Students are consulting artificial intelligence tools for their college searches, finding it useful for tracking down programs they might be interested in, flagging schools they hadn’t thought of and tracking deadlines.

"Students take AI suggestions seriously. About a third said they discovered a school they hadn’t considered previously, and 18 percent said they removed a school from consideration due to AI results." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

OpenClaw Bots Are a Security Disaster Despite the widespread enthusiasm for OpenClaw's AI agents, the tech comes with some enormous and hard-to-overlook security concerns.

"According to a recent investigation by cybersecurity firm Gen Threat Labs, more than 18,000 OpenClaw instances are already exposed to internet attacks, and almost 15 percent of them contain malicious instructions." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning #AIEdu

Actions to Harness the Benefits of AI and Mitigate the Risks "Earlier this year, we released the Brookings Global Taskforce on AI and Education report, A New Direction for Students in an AI World: Prosper, Prepare, Protect. Our key finding was striking: while AI offers clear benefits—expanded access, time savings, personalization, and new forms of assessment—its potential risks to cognitive and socioemotional development, trust, safety, dependence, and equity currently overshadow these benefits."

Screens in Schools: What the New Screen-Time Debate Means for Educators "The screen-time debate is no longer confined to parenting advice. As states introduce legislation limiting devices in schools, and pediatric researchersrethink how digital environments affect development, educators are confronting a difficult question: when does technology support learning, and when does it undermine it?"

"In education, conversations about technology traditionally have focused on the digital divide and ensuring equitable access to devices and internet connectivity. That conversation is shifting." #edtech #ILoveEdTech #ImFutureReady #elearning

Star Trek's Real Lesson For Claude, Gemini And ChatGPT "I grew up watching Star Trek. The hologram doctor who could diagnose anything. Data, who could process a universe of information in seconds. The ship's computer that always had the answer. When people ask me if I'm surprised by the rise of AI, my honest answer is no. I've been watching it coming for fifty years, one episode at a time. But here's what I am surprised by. The companies now building real versions of those technologies seem to have missed the most important lesson Star Trek ever taught us."

This is Our Opportunity to Create A Learner-Centered Path for AI Integration in Education "In conversations across the country, I hear a growing mix of excitement and apprehension about the role of artificial intelligence in education. Many see the potential, yet most also sense a disconnect between what today’s AI tools produce and the kinds of learning experiences we want for young people. This tension is not incidental—it reflects a deeper issue in how AI currently “understands” teaching and learning. Most generative AI tools carry a built-in bias toward traditional, teacher-directed instruction."

Telling an AI model that it's an expert makes it worse • The Register "Many people start their work with AI by prompting the machine to imagine it is an expert at the task they want it to perform, a technique that boffins have found may be futile. Persona-based prompting – which involves using directives such as "You're an expert machine learning programmer" in a model prompt – dates back to 2023, when researchers began to explore how role-playing instructions influenced AI models’ output. It's now common to find online prompting guides that include passages like, "You are an expert full-stack developer tasked with building a complete, production-ready full-stack web application from scratch." But academics who have researched this approach report it does not always produce superior results."

The intelligence revolution won’t be televised — it will be automated over a longer arc "The Industrial Revolution didn’t just change what people made — it fundamentally changed how work was organized, who did it, and what society owed the people doing it. We’re standing at a similar inflection point right now, which is a massive cliff where we have to jump before we’re pushed. In the same way the Industrial Revolution rewrote how many things are made, the Intelligence Revolution is rewriting the rules of work, and the companies and leaders who understand history will be the ones who actually navigate it. Everyone else will be improvising."
