This is an extreme stretch of the truth when applying AI to Education. Let's address how chatbots are reducing students' ability to retain knowledge first before we talk about agents at scale.
There is something about AI that gives us the autonomy to choose which knowledge we really want to retain. That's different than reducing the ability to retain. I think that's something studies have overlooked when interpreting their results... If somebody really wants to learn and focus on something else, AI empowers them to do that. Survival objectives always beat learning objectives. Friction still causes retention. But with AI, we get to choose which friction matters most to us and that's what we retain and grow experience with.
From what I see AI adoption for schools and universities is step worth taking and it is becoming URGENT for the sake of skills acquisition and Performance in Management of schools and Universities.
Agreed. I also agree that it should not be all at once. Leaders and staff should take the time to understand AI it's layers and how it can safely be implemented in their operations with compliance and guidelines; how to speak to it with students, and how to keep up with it's evolution. Unfortunately, it's being met with closed minds, fear, or unstructured urgency just to say they use it.
If we want our kids to compete in the real world then we need to teach them how to use AI correctly and what the consequences are whn they don't. Dismissing it is a huge mistake to the next generations... and ourselves.
Pick one use case that creates repetitive overhead and administrative lag in higher ed. Perfect that - get that right. Then find the next one and so on. Implement many agents or agentic capabilities at one time is a sure fire way to lose strategic vision and results
What about an agent where a student puts in their paragraph for feedback and the agent can only respond in strategies? No example sentences to copy/paste. No setence starters or frames. Student puts in introduction and agent says maybe try a descriptive scene or a staggering statistic.

Is not how students are using AI that matters here?
Of course, but that's one of many parameters. See this paper from Anthropic: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2601.20245

IA's, um poder supremo nas mãos de humanos que não entenderam a realidade.
Brasileiro é muito mimizento e ama patriarcalismo, buscando defesa na própria burrice.
IA's uma ferramenta de crescimento.
it's good 👍
We not to not use everything at scale at first slowly implement it.
