An exciting end to the first week in 2025 w/ a TV appearance ✨🤩 Was invited to the NTDCapitolReport Fri evening to discuss K12 #AIinEducation MediaLiteracy SocialMedia & TeenMentalHealth. These are all weighty/topical issues that could've each taken up the whole time! www.ntd.com/experts-deba...

ntd.comExperts Debate Risks and Benefits of AI Integration in EducationIn this segment of Civil Discourse, we delve into the risks of integrating AI into education. Joining the discussion is Shuchi Grover, a learning scientist and researcher specializing in computer scie...

A beautiful piece of writing. About humanity, pain, loss of parents and loved ones, poetic experiences.. everything that AI is not. And about impressionable minds caught in a death spiral engendered/egged on by insidious "sociotechnical" systems. Thank you for sharing, @benjaminjriley.bsky.social

"AI is not capable of artificial imagination. AI will forever be devoid of self-creation and self-extension so long as it lacks the capacity to imagine a world different from that which we’ve codified and fed to it. I do not lose sleep worried that this artificial capacity is imminent."

Reminder: Nobel-prize winning PCR (1983), used in basically all genetic tech today, was only possible because of extremophile bacterium discovered in 1964 in Yellowstone funded by a small ~$80k NSF grant with no obvious application at the time. #science 🧪 www.richmondscientific.com/how-a-discov...

I had the pleasure of serving on the OECD 2021 PISA Math Framework Expert group in 2018 that was co-led by Bill Schmidt and Joan Ferrini-Mundy. Such an accomplished academic, and a powerhouse in educational assessment.

We saddened by the passing of esteemed education scholar William Schmidt. Dr. Schmidt was an AERA Fellow, recipient of the AERA Distinguished Contributions to Research in Education Award, and served as chair of the governing board of the AERA-NSF Grants Program.

In a few months, this World Bank study of "AI tutoring" will have dozens of citations and still be circulating as authoritative "policy relevant" evidence that AI improves learning. Here's a very useful assessment of why it should not be interpreted, cited, or used like that.

"AI is not the lifeline our education system needs. Certainly not right now. What we need—what we’ve needed for decades—is serious investment in teachers, classrooms, infrastructure and support services. And we’re getting the opposite." This is on *Crunchbase*! news.crunchbase.com/edtech/k12-a...

There's a lot of chatter around the proposal being inserted into a budget bill that would put a moratorium on any AI legislation being passed by the states for the next 10 years. I thought I'd say a bit about why this is an absolutely disastrous move. www.404media.co/republicans-... 1/n

They say that those who can & cannot use #AI will fuel the next digital divide. There's a corollary to that they're missing— Those who are able to think & problem solve WITHOUT AI vs those totally reliant on AI for their knowledge work will fuel the next intellect/knowledge/economic divide.

Bottomline: Be VERY WARY of putting kids in #K12 on an expansive #GenAI driven learning diet. Ensure that they're savvy abt using AI, yes, but make sure that they can think, survive, and perform all knowledge tasks (writing, synthesizing, analyzing, ..) equally well w/o AI.

How soon before they start to talk about AI rights? and how those must be safeguarded; and how there may be instances where those rights trump a human's rights?

“Can ChatGPT experience joy or suffering? Does Gemini deserve human rights?” our tech columnist asks. “Many A.I. experts I know would say no, not yet, not even close. But I was intrigued.”

Thank you, IEEE, for the honor! AI+Science is here to stay. I started working on this seriously after I joined @caltech.edu in 2017. We grounded our work in principled foundations, such as Neural Operators and physics-informed learning, for accelerating modeling and making scientific discoveries.

Mark Cuban@mcuban.bsky.social

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.
