But so many of the basic tenets we used to take as settled just aren't anymore. Remember checks and balances? There was a time when we assumed that no one branch of the federal government could dominate the other two to such an extent as to render precedent irrelevant. Yet, here we are. I'd have a hard time teaching checks and balances with a straight face now.

I frequently meet patients with lupus whose disease has caused severe neuropsychiatric symptoms, and watching them emerge from their cognitive cocoons after immunosuppressive treatment is always breathtaking. Other autoimmune neurologic phenomena can present in equally bizarre ways. Some people with antiphospholipid syndrome-a condition associated with the formation of blood clots-can experience chorea (involuntary muscle movements)or acute changes in cognition (one of my patients was diagnosed after becoming markedly confused).

He said it seemed like breakthroughs in AI would be exponential to the point where "it will just do research for us, so what do we do?" He said he spent a lot of time talking with students at the PhD level about how to organize themselves, even about what their role in the world would be going forward. It was "existential" and "surprising," he said. Then, he received another surprise: a student-led request for a change in testing.

Like it or not, artificial intelligence is becoming a fixture in the classroom. This is being pushed along at a brisk pace by tech companies eager to get their products into the hands of millions of students. On Thursday, Perplexity became the latest AI developer to offer a back-to-school special: Students can access of Comet, the company's AI-centered web browsing platform that debuted in July to rival Google's Chrome and Apple's Safari. The browser is currently available through Perplexity Pro, which costs $200 annually.

The difference is we can now see the disconnect more clearly, and the consequences of inaction are dramatic. AI has become an X-ray for our education system, revealing critical fractures that have long been masked by traditional assessment methods. When information is universally accessible, success increasingly depends on developing adaptive skills that our current educational approach has struggled to prioritize because they're notoriously difficult to teach and measure at scale.

Like many students, Nicole Acevedo has come to rely on artificial intelligence. The 15-year-old recently used it to help write her speech for her quinciñera. When she waits too long on completing homework, Nicole admitted, she leans on the technology so she can hand assignments in on time. Her school, located in the Greenpoint/Williamsburg area of Brooklyn, has also embraced artificial intelligence. But it is hoping to harness it in ways that supplement learning rather than supplant it.

"Agentic AI systems are designed to make decisions, take effective actions, and then adapt their behavior based on the environment, along with the types of goals that they are pursuing."

"Every iteration of ClassDojo is built on feedback from the people who use it," said Chad A. Stevens, Ph.D., ClassDojo's Head of K-12 Engagement. "Superintendents were clear that they wanted to use tools that were already rapidly adopted and loved by school staff. So, we built tools that bring the whole district together-with consistency, control, and care."

Harari's Nexus provides a significant historical context for understanding AI by placing it within the evolution of information networks, demonstrating how technology continuously alters communication forms.

Educators express concern over AI's dual nature, highlighting threats like AI cheating, Artificial Incompetence, and Artificial Irrelevance that can disrupt learning.

Google’s Gemini AI suite now equipped with over 30 new features is aimed at enhancing personalized learning and helping educators adapt AI in classrooms effectively.

"Even if we acknowledge that banning AI won't eliminate all cheating, it doesn't mean that trying to limit its use isn't worth pursuing for academic integrity."

Staff augmentation enables organizations to enhance flexibility, efficiently allocate resources, and leverage external expertise, thus maximizing their operational capabilities.

"Using AI has been a game changer for me. It's helping me with lesson planning, communicating with parents, and increasing student engagement."

The alarming reality is that AI-driven learning can perpetuate biases present in data sources, leading to unfair treatment and unequal opportunities for diverse learners.

In a world where classrooms evolve into intelligent, interactive platforms, learners must take control of their learning journeys through strong self-regulatory skills.

AI-powered platforms analyze user behavior, role requirements, and performance data to deliver highly personalized learning journeys.
