"We are living through a fundamental shift in what work is for. As AI takes on more routine cognitive tasks, the uniquely human capacity to imagine, connect, and create meaning becomes the primary source of organizational value. Yet most companies are still measuring performance metrics prioritized for a different era: inventory turnover, cost per lead, and utilization rates." Via EDTECH@UTRGV

"These metrics were designed to optimize extraction. They are poorly equipped to cultivate imagination."
Geoffrey Hinton, pionnier de l'IA, a alerté sur les dangers d'une IA non réglementée. Il juge urgent de renforcer les cadres face aux risques pour l'emploi et la société.

Les intelligences artificielles ne sont pas neutres : elles absorbent, amplifient et rediffusent les biais de la société qui les produit. Des jeux de données aux interfaces, elles participent à une nouvelle mécanique d’inégalités de genre – silencieuse et pourtant déjà à l’œuvre.

Public Data and Tools.
"AI literacy has quickly become a priority for organizations. Budgets are being allocated. Programs are being launched. Employees are being encouraged—sometimes required—to "learn AI." On the surface, this looks like progress. But if you look more closely, many of these efforts are built on the wrong foundation. They focus on tools, prompts, and features. They ignore the conditions required for competent use. And as a result, they are likely to produce activity—not capability." Via EDTECH@UTRGV
EDTECH@UTRGV's curator insight,

"Most AI literacy programs emphasize tools and prompts instead of role-based judgment and clarity, leading to inconsistent use."

"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." Via EDTECH@UTRGV

"University of Pennsylvania researchers tweaked an AI tutor to tailor the difficulty of practice problems for each student."
"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." Via EDTECH@UTRGV

"By removing the space for safe experimentation and feedback, we have made the struggle to learn a liability. In that context, students are turning to AI not to avoid learning, but to avoid the risk of failure in a system that offers them no safety net."

More than 40% of bachelor’s degree students said generative AI has caused them to consider changing their major. Via EDTECH@UTRGV
EDTECH@UTRGV's curator insight,
April 10, 12:09 PM
"Workforce disruptions caused by generative AI have some students rethinking their majors with one analysis characterizing higher education’s relationship with AI as 'both promising and complex.'” |
"Higher education is having a familiar conversation in an unfamiliar moment. We are debating whether students “should” use AI, whether it is “ethical,” whether it is “cheating,” whether we can “ban” it, whether we can “detect” it, whether it will “go away.” This is what happens when an institution confuses discomfort with principle." Via EDTECH@UTRGV

"In higher education, AI should be a human-centered tool inside a curriculum that expects more from students, not less."
"Even the most well-intentioned edtech can fall short if it does not meet students where they are. After several years studying the usability of edtech for teachers, the research team at ISTE+ASCD turned its attention to students — examining how the technical and pedagogical design of digital tools shapes their learning experiences."

"The CSU AI survey’s findings suggest the question is no longer whether AI belongs in higher education, but how institutions should lead its use thoughtfully, consistently and at scale."
"The world of work is changing fast. Careers no longer sit neatly within a single industry, city, or even country; they span disciplines, time zones, technologies, and cultures. If education is to prepare learners for this reality, it must shift from a narrow focus on content delivery to building the foundational skills that future careers demand." Via EDTECH@UTRGV

"To prepare learners for this world of work, education must prioritize advanced literacy and communication from the earliest years."

"A big civil rights deadline that impacts schools and vendors will hit this month.
Federal law has required accessibility for people with disabilities for decades, says Glenda Sims, chief information accessibility officer at Deque Systems, a company that specializes in digital accessibility.
But two years ago, the federal government finally gave schools a way to measure whether their websites, mobile apps and digital content were accessible under law when it released a “final rule.” Via EDTECH@UTRGV

¿La IA acerca o aísla a los jóvenes?
The Rithm Project ha publicado una investigación imprescindible: "Youth, AI, and the Relationships That Shape Them", con datos de 2.400 jóvenes de 13 a 24 años. No buscan demonizar ni idealizar la IA, sino entender qué está pasando realmente con sus relaciones sociales y bienestar emocional. Además del estudio principal, encontrarás: – 5 principios prosociales para diseñar IA que conecte. – Entrevistas sobre apps de compañía emocional ("¿vitamina o vicodín?"). – Herramientas prácticas para conversar en clase, en casa o en equipo. Ideal para educadores, diseñadores de tecnología, familias y cualquier persona que quiera construir un futuro digital con más conexión humana. |
