We found that AI tools - both general like #ChatGPT and research-specific like #Elicit - lack the reliability, relevancy and accuracy to summarise research for teachers. This is important because we have been sold the idea that AI will make research more accessible.
I am delighted to announce that my new paper with @darrenmacey.bsky.social is now published, entitled 'All sizzle, no steak: AI tools are not able to act as credible knowledge brokers by summarising evidence in mathematics education'

If you haven't heard from me in a while, it's because I've been working on this👇 - a truly global workshop on solidarity activism, which is taking place in Malmö this week. Come for the inspiring work of colleagues from round the world; stay for the venue's truly gaudy Olof Palme statue.
25 participants from around the world are on their way to Malmö for the second Global Solidarity Network Workshop, which starts tomorrow. We'll spend two days finding connections - across themes, sources, groups and individuals - from Australia and Argentina to Thailand and Zimbabwe.
