5/ The AI education conversation is maturing.

Winners: Tools that augment human intelligence, build in safety, and focus on continuous improvement.

Losers: "AI solves everything" vendors and "AI destroys everything" fearmongers.

1/ Three things happened this week in AI + education that signal real change. Not the usual hype, but actual shifts with evidence. 🧵

[Scott Hurrey @shurrey]

4/ Shift 3: Assessment dies, learning analytics lives

Traditional testing → continuous assessment

- New EduEVAL-DB dataset comparing human vs AI explanations
- Quizlet's AI active practice tools
- Instructure's national Mastery Predictive Assessment rollout

We're shifting from measuring learning to supporting it.

@capsreplays It will be interesting to see how all the Tom haters react after seeing what he means to a team like Caps fans have come to know. Will it change anything?

@SneakyJoeSports In the Olympics, it is now called a Tom Wilson hat trick.

6/ Trust isn't a governance checklist you complete once. It's a living system under active attack.

When we adopt AI platforms for education, we inherit their attack surface.

1/ We tell students to trust AI-powered search. Meanwhile, Google's AI Overviews are being weaponized to spread scams, and Gemini got hit with 100K+ extraction attempts.

The tools we're building curricula around are under active attack. 🧵

5/ Three things schools should do now:

1. Teach the exploit, not just the tool
2. Demand incident transparency from vendors
3. Build redundancy into research workflows

No single AI tool should be the sole source for anything.

[Scott Hurrey @shurrey]

We inherited the surveillance model from proctoring software and attendance tracking.

But monitoring and helping are different functions. Conflating them erodes the trust that makes learning possible.

Time to rethink the model.

Students want AI help, not AI surveillance.

New research makes this painfully clear: they love the hints and nudges, but hate being watched to get them.

We're designing educational AI backwards.

[Scott Hurrey @shurrey]

The design principle is simple:

• Help without watching
• Automate, don't escalate
• Preserve the private struggle
Students will use AI that respects their autonomy. They'll resist AI that treats them as subjects to observe.
