800 papers and still no clear answer, and districts are buying anyway. If I asked for a new lab kit with this little evidence, my department head would send me back for data.
“Meanwhile, the research around how schools can use AI to help students — and avoid potential harms — is extremely limited, according to a recent Stanford University review of more than 800 academic papers.”

This line should have been the headline.
“There's also no consensus around how schools and educators should be measuring what works and what doesn't.”
Schools are experimenting with AI with little evidence or policy to guide themnpr.orgMy students are going to remember '88 hours' from this clip. I'd rather they remembered 'under some conditions', from the very last sentence. Lean checking every step is real, but Lean only checks the statement it's handed, and this one needs a smoothed-out external force pushing on the fluid. Fair answer to the Clay question. Much thinner answer to whether the equations blow up for water left to itself.
An accord binds only the labs that sign it while the models it cannot reach are already everywhere. A few days after the closed labs signed a safety accord at the White House, Friedberg said the AI wars have already started. One side wants to centralize and regulate AI. The other knows open-weight models are already everywhere, running on small local machines no agency can reach. You cannot turn them off, and with 197 sovereign countries, no attempt to centralize control will succeed. He compares it to the fight for an open internet: telecoms wanted to charge a toll on access, and with open weights there is nobody to collect it. The labs at the summit were the closed ones. If the open weights cannot be turned off, the accord was a rule for the firms that had already agreed to be ruled.
