"Student agency, and the self-regulation that accompanies it, has always been important. But that importance ratcheted up with internet usage substantially growing in the late 1990s. The internet democratized access to information, allowing students more control over their own learning if they chose to take advantage of it. Students with good self-regulation skills took advantage of this newly increased access and saw their learning expand. Students with poor self-regulation skills fell behind. In today’s environment, the combination of increased self-regulation, task interest, and task persistency—all linked to student agency—becomes a powerful cocktail for driving success in academics and beyond."

"“Conceptually distinct from cognitive offloading, which involves strategically outsourcing a discrete task to an external tool (e.g., using a calculator), cognitive surrender represents a deeper abdication of critical evaluation, where the user relinquishes cognitive control and adopts the AI’s judgment as their own…."

"If you work in faculty development, you have probably heard the same concern on a loop for the past year: All my students are cheating using AI. At Geogia State University, our campus teaching and learning center gets more requests for workshops on how to prevent digital dishonesty than any other topic. Throughout the fall 2025 semester, I averaged one workshop, presentation or meeting about AI and academic integrity every four workdays."

"Digital services have long been used by bad actors to facilitate child sexual abuse, but generative AI introduces new dynamics that challenge traditional legal and investigative models. Synthetic imagery may be created or manipulated without direct access to a victim, and offenders may operate at greater scale and speed across modalities (text, image, video) and jurisdictions. These developments strain investigative resources and expose gaps in statutory definitions, reporting expectations, and prevention mechanisms, while also creating opportunities for earlier detection and disruption when paired with clear safeguards and standards."

"What constitutes general intelligence? What abilities do machines currently have (natural language, basic reasoning, some creativity) and what don’t they have (ability to apply learning from one domain to another, perceive, plan a response, respond, memory, long-term planning, common sense, empathy, resilience, sense of morality, sentience, consciousness, more)?"

"Social media companies are finally facing legal consequences for their toxic design philosophy. In March 2026, a California jury found in favour of a plaintiff (identified by the court-protected name “KGM” or “Kaley”) who had sued Meta and Google for deliberately targeting children like her with addictive design."

"Some studies have found that chatbot tutors can backfirebecause students lean on them too heavily, get spoonfed solutions and fail to absorb the material. Even when AI tutors are designed not to give away answers, they haven’t consistently produced better results than learning the old-fashioned way without AI. Still, researchers who have produced these skeptical studies haven’t given up hope. Some are still experimenting, trying to build better AI tutors."

"While artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly ubiquitous, there is still a lack of understanding about it. If AI becomes a vital tool for civic life and work, schools must cultivate skills and disseminate AI literacy, integrating it into the school curriculum. We must take on the challenge of 'how to achieve AI literacy through informal learning experiences in people's daily lives, using plugged and unplugged ways.'"

"The growing role of artificial intelligence in higher education is forcing colleges to adapt, and Montana campuses are preparing to take a major step with a new AI tool launching as early as May. When Dawson Community College President Chad Knudson attended the March Board of Regents Meeting in Dillon over spring break, a separate meeting held in conjunction with the Regents was part of Montana University System’s Artificial Intelligence Task Force one of the key topics was ChatMT.AI. Knudson stated that ChatMT will be an AI tool rolled out to the Montana University System statewide as a suite of resources focused on streamlining administrative processes."
