Yes, but as a K-12 administrator, I sadly have to tell you this is just about one of the more substantive things I have seen. Yes, it's 95% fluff, but there is a real admission here that the guidance really ought to accept that there will be a whole host of tasks/assignments that kids engage in where the assumption SHOULD be that they basically will leverage AI, and that for their own benefit, resources should be set…
It will only get harder. From the trenches in tech it’s hard enough to get people who should know better to put in the work to understand the ai output. For education I can’t imagine. You might have to resort to actual discussion in classrooms instead of homework, with the accompanying need for both more educators and higher quality therein. Which isn’t going to be easy when education is fully under regulatory captur…
Which works in some contexts; I've taken seminars.
Not sure how that works with a multi-hundred person core calculus, physics, or chemistry class.

This is a bunch of fluff. I hope at least the snacks and lunches during the discussions were good. "Guiding principles: Be bold. Be humble. Put humanity front and center. Lean into learning. Teach with intentionality. No one size fits all." "Recommendations: Adapt educational processes for an AI-aware world. Center people, community, and the residential experience. Build processes, teams and tools for continuous refl…

It seems as if all of teaching and student evaluation needs to be rebuilt from the ground up with AI as a default assumption.
Local high schools have added in class timed, hand written, essays for classes like AP US History.
I particularly like Chicago Law School's policy on AI.
E.g. Law students writing a "Substantial Research Paper" will have to defend it orally: "We will be adding one additional requirement, which is that all students will be required to engage in an oral discussion of their SRP with their supervising professor, in an in-person setting. This discussion will occur after a complete draft (or final version) of the paper has been submitted to the professor. The discussion could take place one-on-one, or as a class presentation in the style of an academic workshop. Either way, the oral exchange will involve the student answering questions that probe the reasoning of the paper and the implications of its arguments."

I think the axis of AI in Ed should be, use it to super-charge learning, while assessment should be impossible to outsource to AI.
Verbal exams.

What human writes, "This is not a moment for patches and duct tape." Is that AI or just horribly clichéd writing?

It sounds like you want a return to a time before a lot of the government research money coming to institutions like MIT was gutted.
No, today institutions like Georgia Tech -- which has an endowment of just about the same as MIT in the nineties adjusted for inflation -- seem to function just about the same way as MIT did back then. I want to get back to the era before people went to MIT as a center of wealth, power, and prestige, and would lie and cheat to get tenured positions there, to where it was a place where nerds went to nerd together. And…

I hope AI was used to generate those empty words. What a waste of human effort.

They have to do something. There's a cheating epidemic right now everywhere. I think the axis of AI in Ed should be, use it to super-charge learning, while assessment should be impossible to outsource to AI. Verbal exams.
