"AI isn’t sentient. It doesn’t understand coffee. It can’t see guilt in a stain. But it can reflect back whatever fear, suspicion, or fantasy you bring to it."

It was a great pleasure to be on the #HERDSA2025 panel on AI this afternoon. I thought I'd post direct links to the resources I mentioned as good ways to keep up with and make sense of genAI in education. Just a few picks to get you started - there are so many amazing people in this space.

Great post from @marcwatkins.bsky.social thinking through the downstream consequences of expanding the use of survellience tools like progress tracking in response to genAI in education
Faculty are burning out not just because of AI, but because we're trying to maintain educational models that were designed for a different era. The path forward isn't more sophisticated tracking of keystrokes, but more purposeful and meaningful engagement with students about why and how they write.

@annamillsoer.bsky.social on how she has updated her thinking on #AI detection tools based on the evolving literature and her professional experience. She concisely explains how it can play a useful (if small) role as part of a principled assessment practice. annamills.substack.com/p/why-im-usi...
Why I'm using AI detection after all, alongside many other strategies
I'm incorporating Turnitin alongside process tracking, writing process assignments, social annotation, lots of student choice, peer review and tutoring, video assignments, and more.
