New MIT report on AI calls for less emphasis on grades, more on project-based learning, recognition that programs for undergraduate research assistants are educational experiences that should not be replaced even if AI agents can do the research for less $$, more emphasis on c…
Worth reading this whole piece, which ends with something that I've been leaning on lately too: the answer isn't to give up. Writing/thinking/learning, all part of making meaning in your life, which kids need and deserve. And good teachers matter! www.theguardian.com/books/ng-…
The person who has 445 AI-generated books on Amazon told @kashhill.bsky.social that “It’s a very romantic concept to sit down and toil, page after page and paragraph after paragraph, but it doesn’t make economic sense.” (I wonder what he would think of Roald Dahl's Great Autom…
From the president of San Jose State who welcomed graduates using her AI avatar and set up the AI Everywhere initiative. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/m...
The single most important thing I have done in my writing classes since 2023 is teach students how LLMs work--and to create curriculum for this that was adopted across first-year writing at Harvard. Right now we cannot assume students understand this-and it matters. www.nytime…
Curious to see the full announcement tomorrow. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/01/n...
If one of my students wrote this piece, I would ask for evidence that the places named--Chicago and Berkeley--are pretending AI doesn't exist or trying to make it go away. This is the Berkeley policy, which in no way is trying to make AI "simply go away" www.law.berkeley.edu/a…
"Another strategy document describes Alpha’s plans to make Price a social media thought influencer...The document says Price’s content should “deliberately polarize” and that “educational influence belongs to the extremes, not the experts.” www.wired.com/story/alpha-...
Over the 6 semesters that I taught my writing course "To What Problem is ChatGPT the Solution?" (about AI, not using it to write), I saw a clear evolution from openness to AI as a "tool" to serious concerns about cognitive offloading, privacy, and deskilling/1 www.insidehigher…
From the author of The Future of Truth on the fact that his book had ai-generated fake quotations in it. arstechnica.com/ai/2026/05/a...
UChicago core social science classes go AI-free: “'we first equip students to read, write, and think without dependence on AI, just as we equip students to read, write, and think beyond the bounds of conventional views or leading ideologies,' the memo reads." chicagomaroon.com…

Trying out the features in Claude for education. Join me as I see how it "helps" me write a research paper. My chosen topic: "AI and education". /1
Hear a lot that AI can be used to enhance learning rather than outsource but every day I get emails like this (subject:"Turn big ideas into A work") offering me 50% off Grammarly to generate my work with AI, check it to see if it sounds like AI, then rewrite it with AI to not sound like AI.
Google AI overview: It's like a page from a deranged children's book
Anthropic will pay a human $265,000-$295,000 for this role which suggests among other things that they think someone human should still know how to write and also that the someone who can still write is worth paying $$ and at least on those things we agree.
This is not at all what happens at the Writing Center I run but interesting that Turnitin is suggesting that human tutors are less competent than the "instructor controlled AI assistant"
It is hard to figure out if there is an actual literal way to read this ad that is selling a paraphraser to rewrite your paper while telling you that your paper should not be "what AI churns out."
Seeing many critiques of this recent Chronicle piece this week. It fits into a genre I posted about yesterday of setting up a straw man ("go ahead and despise AI all you want"). The faculty I've worked have very nuanced concerns about AI and aren't "pretending AI does not exist" /1
Agree with the provost at Dartmouth who makes the point that universities need to find new ways to measure learning and that students need to be able to do things without AI. But I can't imagine teaching writing primarily as a way to learn to "supervise a machine" /2
There's a 15-year old (or a fake 15 year old) over on X posting that he goes to Alpha School and is getting graded on how many followers he can get and all his posts are clearly AI-generated so does that tell us 1)something about Alpha School; 2)is it a parody site; 3)something else?
I had a great time talking with @annhandley.bsky.social @cloeax.bsky.social and @sashastiles.bsky.social at the @wbur.org festival about AI /creativity. The transcript of our chat is now posted and here's something I said that is central to how I've been thinking about AI /1
