This article is in stark contrast to the article I posted earlier today. Two education titans with different opinions. Who is right?
AI in the Classroom Is Often Harmful. Why Are Educators Falling Prey to the Hype? (Opinion)
“AI is seductive for those who regard education as a series of steps toward a credential,” writes Alfie Kohn.

“This is what happens when you let a machine that is essentially a stochastic probabilistic auto complete engine sitting atop the same technology sucking up the identical database eating itself and being fed the same prompt looks like.”
Students are using AI tools instead of building foundational skills - but resistance is growing
The unfettered adoption of AI might damage skills development, yet it doesn't have to be this way.

How to use AI tools is the least interesting and important part of AI.
Every edu-AI discussion must start and end with a deep look at its ethical implications and pedagogical implications.
The tools are easy to use. That’s part of their danger.

I had a great afternoon in South Sioux City today working w/ a Wayne State College learning community Master’s cohort. We discussed all things AI in ed. The good, the bad and the ugly. If you leave out the bad and the ugly, you are doing it wrong. Great group of learners with awesome questions.

Attack your assessments before you turn to AI and academic integrity.
3 questions:
1. Are we assessing what’s actually in the curriculum?
2. Did we teach the skill we’re grading?
3. Can every student show what they know under these conditions?
