Education & Learning Weekly AI News
October 20 - October 28, 2025This week brought exciting news about how agentic AI is changing education around the world. Druid AI, a company that makes smart computer programs, announced a new platform designed specifically for universities. This platform can do many jobs at once, from helping students sign up for college to helping with school money and staff work. It works with an average accuracy of 95% or higher, which means it gets the right answer most of the time.
There were also big meetings about agentic AI this week. Arizona State University (ASU) held a special conference where 650 people came to talk about how AI can help students learn better. ASU's leader, Michael Crow, said that AI can help make education fair for everyone by letting computers teach students in ways that work best for each person. Meanwhile, at Michigan State University in the state of Michigan in the United States, more than 200 people gathered to talk about how AI agents can work alongside humans instead of replacing them.
Educators and leaders shared important lessons this week. They explained that agentic AI is not about replacing teachers – it is about helping them work better. Universities are learning that AI should make work easier for people, not take their jobs. Many schools are also thinking carefully about the dangers of AI, like when computer programs give wrong advice to students who need help. Overall, this week showed that colleges and schools everywhere are racing to understand and use agentic AI safely and fairly.
