GPS ruined our sense of direction. Search engines weaken our memory. AI, scientists warn, could do the same to everything from creativity to critical thinking.
"As with any other technology, how we use AI will determine whether it helps us or harms us. But the concerns are serious enough that you might want to rethink how you use these tools – before it's too late."

"As global education systems evolve to meet rapidly changing workforce demands, micro credentials are gaining traction as a flexible complement to traditional degrees rather than a replacement, according to international policy bodies and education experts. Micro credentials, defined by the European Union as certifications of “learning outcomes of short-term learning experiences,” are designed to provide targeted, skills-based learning in a shorter timeframe."
"While micro credentials are often positioned as an alternative to degrees, global evidence suggests that the two serve different but complementary purposes."

"How can we teach and work in what Adam Aleksic calls our ‘hypermediated reality’? I spoke today at EdTech World Forum in London on Education in an Age of Brain Rot, AI Slop and Cognitive Offloading. The title is not elegant, like my usual efforts… But it tries to capture the feeling many of us now have about the internet in general, and AI in particular."
"The challenge for educators is to avoid the panicking and concentrate on what we actually think matters – how to make our bit of the world (be that classroom, VLE site, or tutorial meeting) one that promotes and rewards actual thinking and nurtures concentration and an actual appetite for disciplinary engagement."

This article explores the AI learning gold rush, blending research with personal anecdote, to show how to truly build capability using AI.
"We're building familiarity with the feeling of learning. Familiarity is not the same as capability. And exposure is not the same as application."
The article is states that AI learning is a good thing, but companies shouldn’t rush it just to say they’re “doing AI.” Instead of expecting everyone to become AI experts overnight, the focus should be on helping people feel comfortable using AI in ways that actually make sense for their jobs.

"Every executive today understands one thing: there is too much information. The internet became a firehose, and it never really stopped. Relentless. High-pressure. Impossible to fully absorb. For years, organizations responded by building learning systems to manage that overload: courses, academies, knowledge bases. Then AI arrived. And suddenly, the problem seemed solved. No more firehose. Just answers. Clean. Fast. Focused. But in solving one problem, we've quietly created another: tunnel vision."
"AI replaces information overload with tunnel vision, creating faster decisions but hidden risks. Organizations must build AI literacy."
