• Realizing the full potential of AI agents - McKinsey
  The story of agentic AI is still unfolding. The majority of CEOs have yet to see bottom-line value from AI agents. But there’s no question that the pace and potential scope of change are breathtaking. While we’re waiting for the technology to fully mature, CEOs can take advantage of this “trough of disillusionment” to understand […]
• Concern and excitement about AI - Jacob Poushter, Moira Fagan and Manolo Corichi, Pew Research Center
  A median of 34% of adults across 25 countries are more concerned than excited about the increased use of artificial intelligence in daily life. A median of 42% are equally concerned and excited, and 16% are more excited than concerned. Older adults, women, people with less education and those who use the internet less often […]
• Sharing Resources, Best Practices in AI - Ashley Mowreader, Inside Higher Ed
  While generative artificial intelligence tools have proliferated in education and workplace settings, not all tools are free or accessible to students and staff, which can create equity gaps regarding who is able to participate and learn new skills. To address this gap, San Diego State University leaders created an equitable AI alliance in partnership with […]

• The change agent: Goals, decisions, and implications for CEOs in the agentic age - McKinsey Quarterly
  The call to move faster may seem tone deaf as CEOs and their senior teams struggle to see bottom-line value from early gen AI investments. Developing and scaling gen AI use cases have proven frustratingly challenging. Some executives remain unconvinced that AI agents will have a significant impact—at least in the short term—and have stepped […]
• Rethinking student assessment in the age of AI - Max Lu, University World News
  As large language models (LLMs) demonstrate astounding capability, they are increasingly being used for tasks once reserved for human judgement. From evaluating essays to assessing conversational exams in medical training, LLMs are increasingly being considered for use beyond formative feedback, including in the high-stakes world of summative assessment. Their appeal is obvious, but before we delegate […]
• A systematic review on AI-enhanced pedagogies in higher education in the Global SouthProvisionally accepted - Gloria KhozaNomfundo and Freda Van Der Walt, Frontiers in Education

• Universities need AI sovereignty to protect free thought - Peter Salden, University World News
  The question of digital sovereignty is becoming more urgent for universities in the age of artificial intelligence. AI-based applications are not only critical from the perspective of data protection and functional transparency, but also pose a threat to independent thinking. AI literacy, an independent AI infrastructure and a clearly defined strategic framework are fundamental for […]
• How to Teach Critical Thinking When AI Does the Thinking - Timothy Cook, Psychology Today
  Students who've learned dialogic engagement with AI behave completely differently. They ask follow-up questions during class discussions. They can explain their reasoning when challenged. They challenge each other's arguments using evidence they personally evaluated. They identify limitations in their own conclusions. They want to keep investigating beyond the assignment requirements. The difference is how they […]
• Afghanistan’s Ban on Girls’ Education Goes Online - Project Syndicate
  Four years after the Taliban excluded girls and women in Afghanistan from secondary and higher education, the regime shut down the internet, depriving them of one of their last opportunities to learn. What started as a ban in a few provinces to “prevent immoral activities” escalated to a nationwide internet blackout on September 29. While […]
• The end of AI and the future of higher education - James Yoonil Auh, University World News
  We now live in what I call the atmosphere of cognition: not the disappearance of AI, but its absorption into the invisible architectures of institutional life. Like Wi-Fi, AI is no longer a tool at the margins but the infrastructure of thought. Algorithms now shape admissions. Predictive models determine financial aid. Recommendation engines curate research. […]
• AI-driven labor market pressures call for curriculum overhaul in communication education - DevDiscourse
  The study recommends that universities integrate micro-credentials and studio-based training modules into communication programs. These modules would cover technical areas such as automation workflows, campaign dashboard analytics, sustainable AI practices, and adaptive use of generative AI tools.

The University of Cincinnati […]
• ‘It would almost be stupid not to use ChatGPT’ - Hoger Onderwijs Persbureau, Resource Online Netherlands
  Amid widespread concern among lecturers about students’ use of AI tools, public philosopher Bas Haring mostly sees opportunities: ‘Outsourcing part of the thinking process to AI shouldn’t be prohibited.’ Bas Haring annoyed a lot of people with a provocative recent experiment. For one of his students last year, the philosopher and professor of public understanding […]
• How to lead through the AI disruption - Ruba Borno, McKinsey
