AI industry giants owe their existence to taxpayer-funded, open research, but many have abandoned this collaborative model. I spoke to The Atlantic about how US science and tech leadership was built on shared knowledge. When companies hoard research, innovation suffers and accountability declines.

Thank you, IEEE, for the honor! AI+Science is here to stay. I started working on this seriously after I joined @caltech.edu in 2017. We grounded our work in principled foundations, such as Neural Operators and physics-informed learning, for accelerating modeling and making scientific discoveries.

AI can't do student peer review because the non-thinking, pattern-matching machine is not a peer. Also, the chief point of peer review in building a writing practice is not to receive feedback, but to give it. www.insidehighered.com/opinion/blog...

Excellent rebuttal of the "AI will save teachers time" claim that education policy and edtech developers keep circulating, written by a teacher who is "very tired" of hearing it

So, @elsevierconnect.bsky.social added an AI question and answer to my article in Computer & Education. The answers are wrong! They did not ask permission! The answers are WRONG! How is this science?!

Computers are good at pattern recognition; but pattern recognition and token prediction are not learning. To continue calling them machine “learning” or artificial “intelligence” is to agree with a fallacious metaphor that risks irreparable harm to..humanity in the form of death-by- a-thousand-cuts.

Everyone knows Google is likely harvesting student data. Is any school administrator or classroom teacher concerned enough to refuse to use all the "free" conveniences of Google classroom?

Given the challenges of building K-12 #CS teacher capacity, there are uses for GenAI as a guide & coding companion for teachers in addition to being a tool for teacher PD.

What’s really going on with campus-wide AI adoption is a mix of virtue signaling and panic purchasing. Universities aren’t paying for AI—they’re paying for the illusion of control. open.substack.com/pub/marcwatk...

remember how we spent 20+ years with the feds wanting our schools to be "data driven"? BUT state tests are not calibrated to one another, so the only way we get a snapshot of student achievement across the country is through NAEP testing. but it looks like the DOGE bros are eating that homework.

“You have to prepare your students for the future!” and "Your students are already using AI, so you must teach them how to use it ethically!" Two common messages used to push and pull teachers headlong into AI mania. I wrote about resisting these messages here:

I just got an email from an NSF program director that they are pausing their panels for the month of February. 🫠 "... we have received direction from our division leadership to pause our panels for the month of February. Practically and logistically-speaking, we are not sure what a “pause” means."
