Education & Learning Weekly AI News
September 29 - October 7, 2025AI agents are changing how people learn in schools and at work. These smart computer helpers can do tasks by themselves without needing people to tell them what to do every step of the way.
Many workers are now using AI agents to finish their training classes. This sounds good, but it creates problems. When AI does the work, people don't actually learn the important information. Companies are worried because their training programs cost a lot of money but might not be working.
Schools and colleges are getting ready for big changes. Experts think AI will replace many textbooks and some teacher jobs in the next few years. Tools like Khanmigo from Khan Academy already help students learn math and other subjects by asking them questions instead of just giving answers.
New school buildings are being designed differently. Instead of rows of desks, schools are creating flexible spaces where students can work with AI tools. Some schools in places like Michigan and California are already testing these new designs.
Colleges are also using AI agents for buying supplies and managing money. These smart helpers make it easier for teachers and staff to order things they need without having to learn complicated rules.
A big study found that more than 68% of organizations will use AI agents by 2026. Most companies want AI agents that work with people watching them, not completely by themselves.
