Tiffany Petricini Sarah Zipf Chuhao Wu LINK: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/communication/articles/10.3389/fcomm.2025.1544430/full Abstract: Integrating generative AI (GenAI) in higher education presents both opportunities and challenges, particularly in maintaining academic integrity. This study explores faculty communication strategies when addressing suspected GenAI misuse, analyzing responses through Gallant’s rule-based and integrity-focused frameworks. Data from a survey reveal a dominant reliance on punitive, rule-based approaches, highlighting tensions between students and instructors. While some faculty adopt communicative and educational strategies, fostering trust and collaboration, others exhibit a dismissive stance due to perceived administrative burdens. The findings support the growing research that institutions prioritize educational interventions and support faculty in…

LINK: https://www.brookings.edu/events/the-ai-generation-balancing-technology-and-socialization-in-education/ The rapid advancement of generative AI is transforming how children interact, learn, and socialize. Surveys show that 45% of high school students already use OpenAI platforms, such as ChatGPT, to deal with friendship, relationship, and mental health issues. There are many outstanding questions about the impact that these developments will have on children’s development and socialization. As generative AI becomes more readily accessible in schools and at home, researchers worry that younger students may face reduced opportunities for critical social interactions that are essential for the development of emotional intelligence, empathy, and communication skills. In an effort to…

Improving Learning / David Wiley An “AI Student Agent” Takes an Asynchronous Online Course EXCERPT: The earlier we all start thinking about this problem, the sooner we can start generating ideas and potential solutions. Given the magnitude of impact generative AI is having and will have in education (and many other aspects of life), I’m working with some diligence to keep up to date with developments in the field. Recently, I noticed how a couple of the emerging capabilities of generative AI will come together in the future in a way that will impact education much more dramatically than I…

Dear colleagues, The UC Davis Writing Program has launched the PAIRR (Peer and AI Review + Reflection) website documenting our approach to integrating AI feedback within writing instruction: https://writing.ucdavis.edu/pairr We’re using MyEssayFeedback.ai, a not-for-profit platform developed by educators with enhanced privacy protections. Our five-part methodology puts critical reflection at the center of the process, positioning students as evaluators rather than uncritical consumers of AI feedback. This approach emerged from a large pilot study at UC Davis, reaching 654 students in 2023-24, and is now expanding to public open-access community colleges and state universities through California Learning Lab funding. As a…

Dwarkesh Patel Scott Alexander and Daniel Kokotajlo break down every month from now until the 2027 intelligence explosion. Scott is author of the highly influential blogs Slate Star Codex and Astral Codex Ten. Daniel resigned from OpenAI in 2024, rejecting a non-disparagement clause and risking millions in equity to speak out about AI safety. We discuss misaligned hive minds, Xi and Trump waking up, and automated Ilyas researching AI progress. I came in skeptical, but I learned a tremendous amount by bouncing my objections off of them. I highly recommend checking out their new scenario planning document: https://ai-2027.com/ And Daniel’s…
