| Details | Welcome to the Automation Abyss, a chasm opening between those who direct AI and those directed by it. As educators debate AI policies, a deeper shift is changing human learning. Students risk losing curiosity, creativity, and the chance to fail and grow. Beyond the Automation Abyss explores how agentic AI and educational change create four possible futures for humanity. Using research on cognition, tech, and assessment, it highlights urgent choices educators must make before the abyss becomes unbridgeable, backed by data showing rising student AI dependence and expert insights on preserving human agency. |
