AI detection cannot become a substitute for human judgement.

It may assist editorial or academic review, but it should not become the final authority.

Prosecutors allege that he enriched himself and private companies, causing state losses of around Rp2tn, or about $112 million, by choosing Chromebooks running Google’s ChromeOS.

[InsideOut Ed @insideout_ed]

Nadiem Makarim, Indonesia’s former education minister and co-founder of Gojek, has been charged with alleged corruption linked to a government program that bought Chromebook laptops for schools between 2020 and 2022.

FirstCry could build a massive commerce engine around babies, but it has struggled to convert that parent ecosystem into a meaningful preschool network.

[Once @once_reading]

Pleasure reading fell 40% in 20 years. Only 14% of 13-year-olds read for fun daily.

The @nypl's Chief Librarian @bbannon says the problem isn't individuals — it's that we stopped designing conditions for reading.

We agree. And it starts at age 3.

As capital’s capacity for material expansion wanes, platforms are converting attention into a speculative asset. Our hidden gem of the week recasts "brain rot" as a structural consequence of financialized capitalism.

La IA prometía hacer a los jóvenes más productivos y creativos. Pero muchos estudiantes empiezan a percibir también el coste educativo.
Financial Times: Una alumna de Sciences Po y Berkeley cuenta que usó Claude para estructurar y documentar su tesis, pero reconoce que antes “amaba” hacer ese trabajo por sí misma y que el chatbot “mató el ejercicio”.
La cuestión educativa clave: no solo si la IA ayuda a entregar mejores trabajos, sino si reduce el aprendizaje que se produce al hacerlos.

“The students who cannot read a 20-page article today are the voters who will not be able to read a bill, or the jurors who cannot follow a closing argument, tomorrow.”

[Policy & Society Journal @PolicySociety]

Got a big idea for Special Issues that challenge policy thinking❓

@PolicySociety is inviting proposals for #SpecialIssues that critically examine established frameworks, develop new conceptual tools, or open promising lines of inquiry 👇

Britain’s child-protection system is too reactive, too fragmented, and too marketized.

It intervenes late, pays enormous sums after damage has been done, and too often substitutes institutional placement for stable human relationships.

[InsideOut Ed @insideout_ed]

Educational discourse remains overwhelmingly adult-centric.

Parents worry, schools administer, policymakers reform, and experts prescribe, but the child, the person most affected, is rarely asked what kind of learning feels meaningful, humane, or useful.

[InsideOut Ed @insideout_ed]

The article challenges two influential ideas in Silicon Valley and parts of the tech world: transhumanism and posthumanism.

These movements imagine human beings as improvable, upgradeable, hybridized, or eventually surpassable through technology.

[InsideOut Ed @insideout_ed]

Pope Leo’s first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, opens a philosophical conflict with Silicon Valley’s techno-optimism, contrasting Christian humanism with a quasi-religious AI ideology in which AI becomes a route to salvation, transcendence, or god-like power.

America’s schools face a backlash on digital devices as screens saturate classrooms https://t.co/HJAr1aYuGE

[InsideOut Ed @insideout_ed]

A good, balanced article. AI in education will fail if reduced to devices, dashboards, and procurement.

It matters only when it strengthens cognition: attention, explanation, reasoning, collaboration, and the confidence to question assumptions.

[InsideOut Ed @insideout_ed]

India’s enrolment story hides a dropout crisis. The real fracture is after age 14: poverty, migration, weak secondary schools, unsafe distances, rigid rules, and poor learning push children out.

[InsideOut Ed @insideout_ed]

From University of York to University of Bristol, University of Liverpool, University of Aberdeen, Victoria University, and Illinois Institute of Technology — foreign universities are not recruiting Indian students anymore.

They’re coming here.
