This is a report from the posh ASU+GSV conference that just concluded and is filled with predictable ragebait, for example, "The line between Big Tech and EdTech has basically dissolved." Or "The distinction between 'AI company with an education play' and 'edtech company using AI' gets thinner every year." And there are some old tropes, like "the skills revolution finally feels real." It does, though, introduce some new concepts being bounced around: 'jagged', which describes how an AI model can be very capable in one area and not at all capable in another; 'harness', and specifically, 'education harness', which is the set of functions around an AI model that integrate it into tools and systems; 'dislocation', which is a vague term describing fear of AI, which is in turn a concern about replacing human systems that work with AI systems that don't.
