Knowledge, Learning, Community

I'm a little bit cynical about this one, since it leans into using AI for 'the basics' and also heavily into data collection; for example, they write "Eye-tracking, automated speech recognition, and brain-imaging capabilities can hone our measures of reading comprehension and fluency." For teachers, they're looking for systems that "can offer just-in-time suggestions and bite-sized research to help educators improve their teaching." Overall, it's the usual 'ed reform' agenda, only 'powered by AI'. But that said, it's a shopping list of projects that can be proposed and presumably funded, so if you're inclined that way, it's a useful report.
