Advancements in AI Integration in Education and Profession

The field of AI integration in education and profession is moving towards a more nuanced understanding of the role of AI in enhancing learning outcomes and professional development. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of usability, policy clarity, and faculty guidance in fostering meaningful AI engagement. The development of AI-generated characters and scenario-based assessments is also gaining traction, with a focus on creating authentic social-interactional contexts for learning and assessment. Furthermore, the need for validated instruments to measure critical reflection and agency in computing ethics education has been addressed, and the impact of AI on surgeons' awareness, expectations, and involvement is being explored. Noteworthy papers include: Validation of the Critical Reflection and Agency in Computing Index, which provides evidence for the validity of a new instrument to measure ethical development in computing students and professionals. Evaluating AI-Powered Learning Assistants in Engineering Higher Education, which explores students' perceptions of trust, ethical concerns, usability, and learning outcomes in using AI-powered learning frameworks. Surgeons Awareness, Expectations, and Involvement with Artificial Intelligence, which examines the shift in surgeons' perceptions of AI's role in surgery and the need for education, ethical frameworks, and infrastructure development.
