Thoughtful and brilliant observations, Terry--especially in taking the argument to its final, undebatable objective fact that shuts down the premise of AI in education and medicine (for the sake of argument). Bravo.
Thanks for commenting, Gerald. Sometimes I think we humans tend to look for ways to distance ourselves from the real thing when it's a huge challenge AND simultaneously hugely important. AI is a danger here, in my opinion, especially when it comes to pushing against teacher judgment.
I couldn't agree more. And, I see it as an extension to other recent attacks/threats to teacher autonomy and authority (this means you, Common Core and Race to the Top).

I really enjoyed this article. I was particularly struck to distinguish between being engaged in a thing and being engaged in data about the thing.
