Education & assessment: what to watch next.

Current work follows the gap between classroom access and the scaffolding teachers need to use AI without hollowing out judgment.

What readers get

Useful context over noise.

  • A plain statement of what changed.
  • The adaptation burden created by that change.
  • Source classes and uncertainty called out directly.
  • A next-check question when the signal can be calibrated.
