Paper by paper. Summaries of what each source says, one by one. Occasionally the writer […] … learn more→

Contemporary artificial intelligence (AI) governance frameworks rest on a rarely made-explicit assumption: when a human operator receives output from an AI system, they must be able to meaningfully evaluate it.

Banning AI or turning assessment into a cheating hunt doesn’t fix the underlying problem: what’s at stake is not the technology, but […] … learn more→

As generative artificial intelligence produces increasingly convincing texts, images, and reasoning, a crucial educational question emerges: what does understanding still mean? In the age of information overload, developing a “well-formed mind” no longer consists of accumulating knowledge, but of learning to judge its depth, validity, and relevance to reality.
