Knowledge, Learning, Community

I've discussed AI agents and related protocols (MCP, A2A) in previous posts, but unlike David Ross, I don't actually see them being applied to classroom learning. And I consider the recommendations to be misguided (the number one priority in the table illustrated is "invest in adaptive learning pilots", which has been the same recommendation coming from this crowd for decades, and has never been useful). If AI does anything, it will free students from teaching, adaptive or otherwise, and allow them to learn by creating and doing.
