• What Does the Credential Still Certify? Cognitive Stewardship for AI-Mediated Education - Kai Yao, AIES 2026
  Generative  AI  is  changing  a  basic  premise  of  educationalassessment:  that  submitted  work  can  reliably  evidence  thehuman  capacities  a  credential  claims  to  certify.  The  chal-lenge  is  not  simply  whether  students  use  AI,  but  what  re-mains  inferable  about  learning  when  some  cognitive  workhas been delegated to a system.

• AI Is Changing Jobs, Not Eliminating Them - Peter Cappelli, Knowledge at Wharton
  Agentic AI changes three fundamental constraints that have shaped the modern organization: human capacity, expertise, and coordination. For more than a century, the familiar building blocks of organizational design, from tasks and jobs to teams, management layers, and hierarchies, have reflected those constraints. AI doesn’t remove them entirely, but it alters them enough that leaders […]
• Are communication skills still important in the age of AI? Research says yes - RM Barton, Purdue
  In an artificial intelligence (AI)-mediated world, many professionals are seeking skills that will help them weather technological shifts and find career stability.

• The Superintelligence Force: A Moment to Reconsider the Pace and Nature of AI - Ray Schroeder, Inside Higher Ed
  I am not entirely convinced that the “Superintelligence Force” is the best way to cool down the competition and slow down the race. However, here we are. This is the only available opportunity to cool down the competition and pursue a safer approach to further development. Although higher education was not heavily consulted in the […]

• Why more employers are hiring workers without college degrees - Heather Olinger, Maura Barrett - Scripts News
  A growing number of employers are prioritizing skills over college degrees, opening new career paths for workers with experience and certifications.

• Five design principles for meaningful online global learning - Marcia Cross, Times Higher Education
  As digital technologies transform access to both information and education, how can universities offer distinctive educational value for professional learners online? Online programmes that bring together professionals from different organisations, sectors or countries can distinctly support this sense-making process. My department does this by starting from a simple idea: online learning does not happen in isolation […]
• City Colleges sees shift from in-person to online enrollment -the Channels, Luz Elena Del Pielago, Santa Barbara City College
  The numbers show that the challenge of filling classes has extended to departments across City College.

• Want to be a lifelong learner? Don’t go it alone - Celine Nguyen, Psyche
  The history of autodidacticism shows that learning has always been social. The right relationships open intellectual horizons. The internet is full of resources for self-directed learning: for any subject, you can easily find blog posts about essential texts, links to university syllabi, and hours of YouTube lectures. When I attempted to make use of these […]
