From councils losing millions to AI-powered scams to the idea of having a \u201cfamily safe word,\u201d this one swings between hilarious and hair-raising. They unpack what\u2019s new in AI assessment research - including TEQSA\u2019s AI guidance for universities, the \u201cwicked problem\u201d of AI and assessment, and why Turnitin\u2019s detection tools are under fire (again). You\u2019ll hear how South Australia\u2019s EdChat report shows teachers and students deepening their learning with AI, and which countries are quietly leading the world in classroom AI use (spoiler: it\u2019s not who you think). Plus, a few surprise stats on politeness and prompt-writing - turns out being rude to AI might actually get better results. We've just arrived on YouTube and TikTok!
