Understanding how young people are using AI at home and at school—and the differences between their adoption and that of their parents—should inform a school's approach to AI tools and policies, and also how we prepare young people for a future where AI could change everything. This new report provides important perspectives on how young people themselves feel about generative AI and how they're using it.

The risks posed by Artificial Intelligence (AI) are of considerable concern to academics, auditors, policymakers, AI companies, and the public. However, a lack of shared understanding of AI risks can impede our ability to comprehensively discuss, research, and react to them. This paper addresses this gap by creating an AI Risk Repository to serve as a common frame of reference.

A more productive way of asking the question “How can I create an AI-proof written assignment?” is to ask “How can I create assignment instructions that are clear enough for each and every student to be able to understand and follow correctly, but that an LLM will not be able to understand and follow?”

To have a better understanding of how AI is changing the landscape of second language acquisition, we, the authors of this article—a language educator and an undergraduate student—have joined forces and surveyed over 100 individuals, between language learners and instructors, across several higher education institutions in the United States. The survey aims to capture a vignette of the current impact of AI tools on language learners and educators. More specifically, we seek to understand how frequently these tools are being used, the motivations behind their use, and their perceived (in)effectiveness.

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has captured the attention of the education community. Some educators are enamored with the opportunities to use GenAI to tackle long-standing issues and close opportunity gaps. Others focus on challenges caused by GenAI upending traditional learning structures, as well as concerns about academic integrity and inaccuracies of AI-Generated materials. Whether enthusiastic, circumspect, or somewhere in between, it is crucial for all educators to be equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary for success in an AI-driven world.

This lesson is designed to enable learners to use two AI prompts. One will enable an AI chatbot to become their English-speaking friend. It will ask them questions appropriate to their age and level and help them if they get stuck. The second prompt will enable the chatbot to create activities based around their level and the topic of their choice.

The term “artificial intelligence” itself is neither particularly accurate nor helpful – much of what we refer to as AI is not actually doing any ‘learning’ and the term itself is so loaded with connotations that bring to mind images of the Terminator or other dystopian sci-fi tropes that it is beginning to get in the way.

Artificial intelligence (AI) seems to be turning the education world upside down. We are hearing many claims – some of them exaggerated – both for and against its use in education. To help us better understand and use AI as language teachers, I'd like to take a balanced look at some of the challenges and potential benefits it can offer us and our learners.
