Here are some articles and other resources that I am reading about artificial intelligence (AI) and education this month. I provide some commentary, but some of the themes I will be expanding upon in future posts:

• Coming Soon — Ph.D.-level super-agents — Is this the year that AI moves from providing information to efficiently performing tasks? Some researchers seem to think so. If/when this happens, there will certainly be implications for education (and many industries).
• Top 10 Components of the Perfect AI Prompt — Strategies for securing the most valuable content through AI — The article provides many practical tips for AI prompting. For me, idea #10 is perhaps the most important because it discusses follow-up prompting, an essential AI strategy.
• Should Instructors Ask Students to Show Document Histories to Guard Against AI Cheating? — My take on this is that this is fine as long as it is used to facilitate good conversations with students about learning and the writing process and not used as a “gotcha” against students.
• Transforming learning in Nigeria, one prompt at a time — This is a significant study that shows the increase in learning when using AI tutoring bots. The early research on this topic supports the value of tutoring bots and education. Two questions I have about this study concern the exact role of teachers in this process and the “sticky-ness” of the learning, whether this learning stays with a student or only helps their standardized test scores.
• The AI Assist: Strategies for Integrating AI into the Very Human Act of Teaching, by Nathan Lang-Raad — This book was recommended to me by a colleague and I have just begun working through this. I will share any significant insights in future posts.

What are you reading and learning about AI? I would love to hear your thoughts and have you share your resources at any time. Feel free to send me a message or add a comment to this post.
