Employment data offers a grim outlook for secretaries and administrative assistants in the age of artificial intelligence, but workers in the women-dominated occupation say the numbers don’t tell the whole story. Administrative professionals say adapting is a key part of their day-to-day. By tasking AI with the more repetitive items and freeing up time for more strategic work, some say they are using these tools as a launchpad for career growth. But according to a Brookings Institution report they may be more exposed to AI-induced displacement than other professionals.

Using AI can create short-term results but may stifle long-term learning.A new study tracked 26,811 Chinese secondary school students over 30 months. The research measured how generative AI impacted …

What a month. When it comes to the effect of generative AI on student learning, the evidence is clearly pointing in one particular direction: Kids are using generative AI a lot. And they’re using it to cheat. Or if you prefer more nuance: they’re using it to disintermediate the artifacts of learning (essays, answers, grades, etc) from learning itself. Since we last chatted, the studies keep dropping. The hits keep coming. ↳ Nature retracted the big study showing positive learning gains from AI. (Hundreds of citations previously.) https://lnkd.in/gRSTJ6-S ↳ Researchers found that AI gives different feedback based on a student’s race and gender. https://lnkd.in/gwX5NeNp ↳ A giant study of 30k Chinese students found that their AI usage increased homework scores, decreased completion time, and lowered exam scores by 20%. https://lnkd.in/gYUHMYHF ↳ Failing grades are way up in UC Berkeley’s computer science classes. https://lnkd.in/ggiYjCMM ↳ A study of 3.2M math practice interactions showed kids spending significantly less time on problems that are easier to send into an LLM (pure text-based) and a corresponding 25% decrease in exam performance. https://lnkd.in/gyJ-PEXA We need to be adults here. A thing got invented and its existence in the world—without denying any of its affordances—has not only failed to produce the learning gains promised by so many and instead produces evidence of negative transformation weekly. All the usual suspects are placing their faith in pedagogical AI—the kind that won’t just burp an answer in a student’s direction—and that sounds potentially helpful during class. But why would kids use it outside of class where they have unrestricted access to the answer-burping AI? I’m still working on some AI stuff that interests me, but now that this technology has arrived, the exciting education innovations are IMO almost entirely social and political: ↳ Curriculum that gives kids more reasons to do the hard work of learning. ↳ Stronger social ties in learning. ↳ More accountability between parents, students, teachers, and schools. ↳ Tighter connection between the artifacts and the learning. Blue books, public presentation of learning, etc, etc, e.g., these interesting pedagogical design patterns. ↳ A political economy that is quite a lot less cutthroat, one where grades and credentials aren’t perceived as one of a vanishing few exit tickets from poverty.
