Rhetoric arguing that technology adoption in and of itself represents innovation and progress is not only false but undermines society’s ability to discern how to effectively harness AI to advance children’s education.
...though I would dispute that the last is possible.
Headline from NPR this morning: "The risks of AI in schools outweigh the benefits, report says" in one that probably landed on your screen. It's from a Brookings release, and while the full report is over 200 pages (add it to your "to be read" list), the summary (from which the above quote is taken) is certainly digestible.
I will say that I strongly disagree with the conclusion they draw--that the problem somehow is fixable--as, at least from what I have read so far, they seem not to be recognizing the actual destruction generative AI is built on, even before a child lays a finger on a screen or keyboard.
