At Stanford HAI, we believe AI is poised to be the most transformative technology of the 21st century. But its benefits won’t be evenly distributed unless we guide its development thoughtfully. The AI Index offers one of the most comprehensive, data-driven views of artificial intelligence. Recognized as a trusted resource by global media, governments, and leading companies, the AI Index equips policymakers, business leaders, and the public with rigorous, objective insights into AI’s technical progress, economic influence, and societal impact.

Ethnologue is a global voice. We exist to help you understand more about the people of the world, and how each language community is distinct.

Content curation is a vital part of the creative process. In this blog post and podcast, we explore why curation matters and how we can help students learn how to engage in the curation process. Listen

Release date April 2, 2025 – A majority of global technology experts say the likely magnitude of change in humans’ native capacities and behaviors as they adapt to artificial intelligence (AI) will be “deep and meaningful,” or even “fundamental and revolutionary” over the next decade. This new report covers the results from the Imagining the Digital Future Center’s 18th “Future of Digital Life” canvassing of a large set of global technology experts. These experts wrote detailed accounts predicting the future of humans in 2035.

In a nutshell, our research shows that AI can help produce graduates with 21st-century skills like critical thinking, problem solving, and innovation in alignment with the Education 5.0 manifesto. Through a qualitative case study at a Zimbabwean university and a robust literature review, we gained deep insights into this complex phenomenon.

Based on our comprehensive risk assessments, we've found that AI companion tools pose unacceptable risks to children and teens under age 18 and shouldn't be used by kids, regardless of whether the tool is intended for use by kids or not.

When I compare the 7 years I had battling the cellphone in the classroom, vs almost an entire year of phone free schooling, there is no comparison. Our kids are smarter, more social, and more motivated to do the things they actually want to accomplish in this world when they don’t have a pavlovian vibration derailing their attention every 20 seconds.

If AI allows students to automate routine cognitive tasks – like information retrieval or ensuring that verb tenses are consistent – it doesn’t mean they’re thinking less. It means their thinking is changing.

Teachers and caregivers can support children who are highly sensitive to the school environment and their emotions.

A research-backed AI scenario forecast for the next 2 years.

Abstract: Edited by Nik Peachey, this book looks at how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be used in teacher training through the shared experiences of a global Community of Practice (CoP). Since 2019, the British Council has supported CoPs among teacher educators, both online and face-to-face, to improve professional development.

When most people prompt generative AI, they do so within the paradigm of how they think about what could or should come next. For example, when searching Google, users may ask a question, search for the best Thai restaurant “near me,” or insert specific criteria based on filtered output, such as “best downhill mountain bike for intermediate riders.” That approach is often carried into prompting. The results build on a linear path of thinking, research, and decision-making based upon the world as we know it. However, where AI starts to “come alive” is when you create something unique — something that wouldn’t have been achieved without a human and machine collaboration.
