Send us Fan Mail27 States Are Writing AI Rules for Your Kid's School. I Run One. Here's What They're All Missing. Twenty-seven states have active AI-in-education bills in 2026. Five are already law. Ohio's House Bill 96 required every public, community, and STEM school district in the state, more than 600 of them, to adopt a formal board-approved AI policy by July 1, 2026. California released a statewide model AI policy for districts on June 25. Virginia's law took effect July 1. And on August 5, the Florida State Board of Education takes up a rule that would require public and charter schools to address artificial intelligence in their internet safety policies. M.A. Aponte is the Executive Director of a charter school in Gainesville, Florida. That Florida rule governs his building. So this is not policy analysis from the outside. This is a practitioner explaining what happens when a mandate lands on a real school: what he has to tell teachers, how he answers parents, and what he does when a student turns in an essay a machine wrote. His concern is simple and uncomfortable. A mandate produces a document. It does not produce a change in practice. And if districts confuse those two things, the next two years will be spent celebrating paperwork while nothing improves for a single student. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS The full national map of school AI legislation, including Ohio's July 1 deadline, California's model policy, Idaho's AI literacy standards, Oklahoma's parental opt-out provision, Maryland Senate Bill 720 requiring teacher professional development, Connecticut's AI instruction mandate, and South Carolina House Bill 5253, which would establish the strongest guardrails in the country. What is happening in Florida specifically, including the Department of Education's internet safety directive, the August 5 State Board workshop, and the AI Bill of Rights that passed the Florida Senate 37 to 1 before dying in the House. The strongest argument against moving this fast. MIT professor Justin Reich has said that writing a guide for AI in 2026 is like writing a guide for aviation in 1905, before there were airlines, airports, or commercial flight. Aponte takes that seriously and explains where he lands anyway. The four things most school AI policies get wrong: 1. They regulate tools instead of teaching thinking. The real question is not whether a student used AI. It is whether AI helped them think or thought for them. 2. They assume detection works. AI detection tools flag authentic student work at rates that make them unusable as the basis for a disciplinary finding. 3. They do not fund the training. Teachers repeatedly report having to navigate AI entirely on their own. 4. They confuse having a document with having made a change.

Sources cited include the FutureEd 2026 State AI in Education Legislative Tracker, Stateline, the California Department of Education, the Florida Department of Education, the OECD Digital Education Outlook 2026, UNESCO, and research from the University of Florida Education Policy Research Center.FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: Which states require schools to have an AI policy in 2026? A: As of mid-2026, 27 states have active AI-in-education bills and five have enacted laws. Ohio House Bill 96 required every public, community, and STEM school district to adopt a board-approved AI policy by July 1, 2026. Idaho requires districts and charter schools to create AI policies and ensures AI cannot replace a human teacher. Oklahoma requires age-appropriate AI tools, teacher review of AI output, and parental opt-out. Maryland Senate Bill 720 requires state-provided teacher professional development on AI. Virginia Senate Bill 394 directs its education department to issue guidance. Connecticut mandated AI instruction. California released a model AI policy for districts on June 25, 2026. Q: What should a school AI policy include? A: According to the AUDIT framework developed by charter school director M.A. Aponte, an effective school AI policy must address five areas. Assumptions: does it reflect how students actually use AI, including gradual over-reliance rather than only deliberate cheating. Usability: can a teacher apply it in real time without stopping instruction. Detection: does it acknowledge that AI detection software produces false positives, and does it rely on process artifacts and oral defense instead. Instruction: does it teach AI literacy rather than only restricting tools. Training: is there a funded, dated, ongoing professional development plan for teachers. Q: Is Florida requiring schools to have an AI policy? A: The Florida Department of Education has directed school districts to add artificial intelligence use to their existing internet safety policies. A rule development workshop was held June 22, 2026, and the Florida State Board of Education scheduled a workshop for August 5, 2026 on a proposed rule requiring public and charter schools to include AI in their internet safety guidelines. Separately, Florida's proposed AI Bill of Rights, which would have restricted student access to AI instructional tools before sixth grade, passed the Florida Senate 37 to 1 but died in the House. Q: Do AI detection tools work in schools? A: AI detection tools produce false positives at rates that make them unreliable as the basis for academic dishonesty findings, flagging authentic student work as AI-generated. Education leaders recommend assessment design strategies instead of detection strategies: requiring drafts and revision history, conducting device-free in-class writing, and asking students to orally defend submitted work. A student who wrote the work can explain their reasoning. A student who outsourced it cannot. Q: What questions should parents ask their school about AI? A: Five questions. Does our school have an AI policy, and can families read it? Has a classroom teacher reviewed it for whether it is usable during instruction? What happens if a student is wrongly accused by AI detection software? What are we teaching students about AI, not just what are we forbidding? When are teachers trained on this, how often, and who pays for that time? If a school cannot answer the last question, that is the gap that determines everything else. Q: Why do most school AI policies fail? A: Four reasons. They regulate tools instead of teaching thinking, so they cannot distinguish between a student using AI to learn and a student using AI to avoid learning. They assume detection is possible when detection software is unreliable. They do not fund teacher training, leaving educators to navigate AI on their own. And they confuse producing a compliant document with changing classroom practice. A mandate produces a document. It does not produce a change in practice.

We made it to the final stop on this summer's Around the World with Busy Kids Love Music tour — and what a destination to end on. The Philippines is an archipelago of more than 7,000 islands in Southeast Asia, home to over 110 million people speaking more than 180 languages and dialects. Its folk music is not one tradition — it is many, layered on top of each other over thousands of years: ancient bronze gong ensembles from the highlands and the southern islands, rice harvest chants recognized by UNESCO, Spanish-influenced string ensemble music that became entirely its own thing, and love songs that carried a secret message of resistance hidden in plain sight. In this finale episode, we explore both sides of Philippine folk music — the indigenous traditions that survived centuries of Spanish colonization, and the hybrid traditions that grew from the meeting of Filipino and Spanish culture. And woven through it all is a theme that has appeared at every stop on this summer's tour: music as the keeper of identity, the carrier of what people are not always free to say out loud. What We Cover in This Episode The Philippines' geography, history, and extraordinary cultural diversity — 7,000+ islands, 180+ languages, indigenous peoples alongside centuries of colonial influence Spanish colonial rule (1565–1898) and how it reshaped lowland Filipino culture while leaving highland and southern communities largely intact The kulintang — a row of bronze gongs played in ensemble by the Maranao and Maguindanao peoples of Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago The gangsa tradition of the Kalinga people of the Cordillera highlands — flat bronze gongs played communally, one gong per player The hudhud — a form of epic chanted poetry sung by Ifugao women during rice harvests and funerals, recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage The rondalla — a Spanish-derived plucked string ensemble that became the sound of Filipino fiestas and community celebrations The harana — a traditional serenade tradition with Spanish roots that developed its own Filipino character, now a disappearing tradition being actively preserved The kundiman — Filipino love songs from the late 19th and early 20th centuries that carried hidden messages of patriotism and longing for independence under colonial rule How Filipino-American communities across the United States are keeping these traditions alive today Free Downloads for This Episode
Oulu, Finland has a reputation for doing winter differently, and after talking with local guides Minna and Marika, we get why. This northern seaside city isn't just “survivable” in the cold, it's designed for real life outdoors, from maintained winter bike routes to sea ice adventures and sauna culture that turns warming up into a daily ritual. If you're planning Finland travel and want a city that blends nature, culture, and practical design, Oulu belongs on your shortlist.

When the days stretch long, Oulu opens up into beach time at Nallikari, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and easy ways to explore the city's islands and waterfront. Culture matters here too. We dig into museums, theater, ice hockey, and Oulu's role in showcasing Sami culture, plus the fun, slightly wild spirit that produces the Air Guitar World Championships for world peace.

Welcome to Art is Awesome, the show where we talk with an artist or art worker with a connection to the San Francisco Bay Area. Today, Emily chats with Jonathon Keats — conceptual artist, experimental philosopher, and writer based in San Francisco. He has sold his thoughts, copyrighted his brain, choreographed a ballet for honeybees, and written six books. He contributes to Art in America, Popular Science, and Wired, and has exhibited at LACMA and Modernism Gallery SF. Jonathon discusses Centuries of the Bristlecone, an 11-foot-tall dual pendulum clock on permanent display at the Nevada Museum of Art in Reno. The clock, created in partnership with the Long Now Foundation, tells both atomic time and arboreal time — time as experienced by ancient bristlecone pine trees that can live up to 5,000 years. The project took over a decade to realize, with clockmakers Phil Abernathy and Brittany Cox. About Artist Jonathon Keats: Jonathon Keats is an artist, writer and experimental philosopher. His conceptually-driven transdisciplinary projects explore all aspects of society, adapting methods from the sciences and the humanities.

Hoy queremos hablar acerca del narcisismo, un rasgo o trastorno de la personalidad caracterizado por una excesiva preocupación por uno mismo, una necesidad constante de admiración y una falta de empatía hacia los demás. Esto va desde una patología severa psicológica-psiquiátrica hasta un trabajo interior que cada uno de nosotros tenemos que hacer dentro de nosotros.Nos preguntamos cómo reconocer el narcisismo, cómo evitar caer en él, cómo actuar y relacionarnos con personas narcisistas de un modo cristiano. Para hablar de este tema nos acompaña Inés Ezcurra, licenciada en psicología por la Universidad Católica Argentina. Inés es argentina, viuda y es mamá de dos hijos. Es también terapeuta certificada en EMDR, supervisora, docente y facilitadora de entrenamiento del Instituto Universitario del Hospital Italiano en este tipo de terapia que ayuda a laspersonas a sanar experiencias traumáticas. Además, Inés es instructora en salud, actividad física y alimentación por el Instituto Universitario Isalud y ha sido integrante en diversas sociedades y equipos, como la sociedad SAOTA (Sociedad argentina de obesidad y trastorno de la Alimentación; del equipo del Dr julio Castaño, en suclínica privada (entonces jefe de Neuropediatría del Instituto Universitario del Hospital Italiano), del equipo PREBAL (de retención para el mejoramiento de la retención escolar en América Latina - Proyecto de la UNESCO del Ministeriode Educación), de la Sociedad Argentina del Matrimonio y la familia, de la Asociación Médica Argentina.

For over a thousand years, one Chinese city transformed clay into treasures so coveted that kings demanded them, empires tried to copy them, and the material itself became synonymous with the nation that made it. Now, that extraordinary legacy has earned Jingdezhen a spot on UNESCO's World Heritage List. On the show: Steve, Yushan & Yushun

Meta's recent decision to flag correct information about an attack on Kyiv as false has raised questions about the fact-checking mechanisms used by social media companies. - Quyết định gần đây của Meta về việc gắn cờ thông tin về vụ Nga tấn công di sản UNESCO tại Kyiv là thông tin sai lệch, nhưng thực chất đó là thông tin chính xác, đã làm dấy lên những nghi vấn về cơ chế kiểm chứng thông tin được các công ty truyền thông xã hội sử dụng hiện nay, liệu có công bằng và đúng sự thật hay không.
¿Puede una ciudad convertirse en la estructura de una novela? En El Ojo Crítico conversamos con Ramón Starc sobre Que se vayan todos (Candaya), una novela coral que reconstruye la crisis argentina de diciembre de 2001 a través de las calles que desembocan en la Plaza de Mayo, componiendo un puzle donde corrupción, poder y desesperación social confluyen en una misma historia.Además, descubrimos la faceta menos conocida de Anthony Hopkins, que publica Life Is a Dream, su nuevo proyecto como compositor junto a Gustavo Dudamel y la Philharmonia Orchestra, un recorrido musical por más de seis décadas de creación de la mano de Martín Llade.Con Vicente Monroy viajamos al universo de dos grandes maestros del cine: Leonardo Favio, protagonista de la retrospectiva que le dedica la Filmoteca Española, y Theo Angelopoulos, cuya filmografía restaurada llega a Filmin. También escuchamos el nuevo adelanto de Barry B, No pega igual (Stuck on Replay), repasamos la decisión de la Unesco de aplazar la candidatura de la Ribeira Sacra como Patrimonio Mundial y nos detenemos en la reapertura de la sede del Instituto Cervantes en Gibraltar, coincidiendo con la reunión anual de directores de la institución.Escuchar audio
Marçel Font, dueño de la librería 'Fénix' de Badalona, ha hablado sobre el ya llamado "expolio literario" en la que se destruyen libros antiguos a la vez que se digitalizan para entrenar a la IA. Mariola Sarrió, de SER Podcast, ha narrado la historia de Antoni Bneaiges, profesor en la época de 1930 que impartió un estilo revolucionario de enseñar que le costó la vida en un fusilamiento. Por otro lado, hablamos del no de la UNESCO para que la Ribeira Sacra sea Patrimonio Mundial.
„Vienas iš mūsų atradimų yra tai, kad pilkieji ruoniai į krantą išlipa naktį. Iki šiol buvo pasvarstymų ir pastebėjimų, bet tai nebuvo publikuota“, – sako Lietuvos jūrų muziejaus vyr. biologė Laura Lupeikaitė-Kuncienė, kuri tyrinėja šią prie Lietuvos krantų atklystančią saugomą rūšį. Ji tikisi, kad nauji faktų apie šią rūšį, padės ją dar geriau pažinti ir apsaugoti.Šiemet ji tapo pirmąja lietuve, pelniusia UNESCO programos „Žmogus ir biosfera“ jaunųjų mokslininkų apdovanojimą. Šis tarptautinis įvertinimas skiriamas už išskirtinius ekologijos ir darnių ekosistemų tyrimus, o Klaipėdos universiteto doktorantė apdovanota už darbus apie tai, kaip ruoniai po reabilitacijos adaptuojasi Baltijos jūroje.Tyrimo metu mokslininkai palydoviniais siųstuvais stebėjo 30 Baltijos jūros gyvūnų reabilitacijos centre slaugytų pilkųjų ruonių jauniklių. Surinktų duomenų analizė parodė, kad didžioji dauguma paleistų gyvūnų sėkmingai prisitaiko ir apsigyvena tose vietose, kur veisiasi Baltijos jūros ruonių populiacijos.Be to, tyrimai taip pat atskleidė naujų faktų apie šią rūšį, kurie, kaip tikimasi, padės ją geriau pažinti ir apsaugoti.Aut.

The early twenty-first century ushered in a period of change in Bolivia. The country welcomed its first Indigenous president, a new constitution, and a profusion of laws that recognized individual music and dance expressions as intangible cultural heritage. Using cultural heritage lawmaking as a window through which to view the de-centered workings of the Indigenous-focused Plurinational Bolivian State, Heritage Fever: Law and Cultural Politics in a Decolonizing State (Oxford University Press, 2025) by Dr. Michelle Bigenho and Dr. Henry Stobart unpacks the myriad motivations for heritage making in this this politically transformative moment. Heritage Fever reorients UNESCO-driven heritage debates towards a different set of questions—a pivot the authors call “heritage otherwise.” These inquiries focus on how citizens use law to frame expressive culture and engage their new state. Through grounded case studies, Bigenho and Stobart reveal how competing claims over cultural expressions stimulate aficionado research and produce an abundance of cultural activities. Managing these productive conflicts often involves strategic uses of scale within the country's new political autonomies, even as old-style nationalisms lurk beneath a plurinational sheen. One case study highlights imagined Indigenous autonomy as bolstered by decolonizing historiography that predates the Plurinational State by several decades. Privileging the stories told by those who championed or who were bureaucratically involved in the respective heritage-making campaigns, Heritage Fever's research draws from the authors' combined fieldwork in Bolivia over the last 30 years, recent multi-sited fieldwork conducted as a team, and ethnographic interviews conducted with Bolivians involved in heritage-making projects. Contributing to legal anthropology, critical heritage studies, ethnomusicology, and anthropology of the state, Heritage Fever looks beyond intellectual property frames, opens new perspectives on archival thinking, reflects on decolonizing practices in expertise and knowledge production, and uncovers the agency of mid-level citizens in a decolonizing state. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

VOV1 - Sau một thời gian dài xem xét, nghiên cứu kỹ lưỡng, Tổ chức Giáo dục, Khoa học và Văn hóa của Liên Hợp Quốc (UNESCO) đã quyết định đưa thêm 1 di tích nữa của Nhật Bản danh sách di sản thế giớiDi tích của Nhật Bản được UNESCO thông qua tại kỳ họp lần thứ 48 Ủy ban di sản thế giới đang diễn ra tại Busan – Hàn Quốc là quần thể di tích Asuka-Fujiwara ở cố đô Nara thuộc vùng Kansai – Nhật Bản.Asuka-Fujiwara là tập hợp các di tích cung điện, đô thị, chùa chiền và lăng mộ cổ từ cuối thời kỳ Asuka đến đầu thời kỳ Nara, vào khoảng năm 592 đến năm 710 và cũng là nơi nhà nước phong kiến luật pháp đầu tiên của Nhật Bản hình thành, phát triển.Quần thể này có 2 hợp phần chính là vùng Asuka - nơi đặt các hành cung của vua chúa từ thời nhà vua Suiko đến nhà vua Temmu, nổi tiếng với cung điện Asuka-Itabukimiya, cung điện Asuka-Kiyomiharura…, và khu đô thị Fujiwara - kinh đô theo thế bàn cờ chính thức đầu tiên của Nhật Bản, được xây dựng từ năm 694 đến 710 trước khi dời đô sang Heijo.Việc UNESCO ghi danh Asuka-Fujiwara đã đưa số di sản thế giới của riêng Nara lên 4 di tích và đưa tổng số di sản của cả Nhật Bản lên con số 27. Đây được coi là niềm tự hào của người dân địa phương và là niềm vui chung của tất cả người dân Nhật Bản, lồng trong cam kết và quyết tâm bảo tồn, phát huy giá trị di sản cho các thế hệ sau./.Tuấn Nhật /VOV JapanQuần thể di tích Asuka-Fujiwara.

Welcome back to a special encore presentation of Turn on the Lights! As we continue our transition series, our new host, Dr. Philip, has selected one of our most impactful and widely listened-to conversations from the archives to revisit. He introduces this timely discussion with Chris Van Gorder, which explores how cost shifting, regulatory mandates, and Medicare Advantage risk transfer are pushing healthcare toward structural unaffordability. Summary: Leading a major health system today means juggling patient-first ethics with a financing model that keeps tightening the screws. In this episode, Chris Van Gorder, President and Chief Executive Officer of Scripps Health, explains why health care is becoming structurally unaffordable amid soaring premiums, uncompensated emergency care, and rising input costs. He describes how hospitals have become the default safety net as county systems disappear, while underpayment by Medicare and Medicaid forces cost shifting onto employers and commercially insured patients. Van Gorder also highlights California's seismic rebuilding mandates, which create massive capital pressure without matching reimbursement. He critiques managed care, value-based care, and Medicare Advantage for pushing risk onto providers through prior authorization and denials, recounting Scripps' difficult decision to exit several Medicare Advantage contracts after heavy losses and the downstream impact on patients. Tune in and learn how payment design, intermediaries, and regulation shape what hospitals can sustain and what patients can access. About Chris Van Gorder: Chris Van Gorder, MPA, FACHE, is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Scripps Health in San Diego, where he has led the organization since 2000 after serving as its Chief of Healthcare Operations and COO. A veteran healthcare executive with decades of experience across California hospital systems, he previously held CEO and senior leadership roles at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center, Anaheim Memorial Medical Center, and Little Company of Mary Hospital. Beyond health system leadership, he has served on multiple boards, including Prolacta Bioscience and previously Abiomed and Z-Medica, and he has been active in national and civic service as a commissioner for the U.S. National Commission for UNESCO. He also brings an uncommon public-safety background, including reserve service with the San Diego Sheriff's Department and long-running involvement with California's Emergency Medical Services Authority, earning a Distinguished Service Medal. An educator and author, he teaches at USC and wrote The Front-Line Leader (2014). Things You'll Learn: Healthcare executives are dealing with an unprecedented volume of simultaneous operational, financial, and workforce demands, raising the stakes of everyday decisions. Affordability isn't just a household problem; it's a system design problem that forces hospitals to cover the growing cost of unpaid care. Cost shifting is not a theory; it is the mechanism that pushes public underpayment onto commercial premiums. Regulatory and capital mandates can dramatically raise costs without generating new revenue, especially in California. Medicare Advantage often adds friction through narrow networks, prior authorization, and payment disputes, while shifting risk downhill. Walking away from bad contracts can stabilize a system financially, but it creates real disruption for patients and exposes policy gaps in switching coverage.

This past April, we were delighted to be the first tour group to experience Tomás Sharry and Máirtín Seoighe's new project, Aran Currach Experience, on Inis Oírr, the smallest of the Aran Islands. We spent the day on the island learning how to plant potato ridges, building stone walls (now part of UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list), and learning how currachs are made—before heading out on a lake to take the traditional boat for a spin. Not only did we have an incredible day being hosted by Tomás and Máirtín, we left wishing we could stay longer. Imagine living in a place where everyone knows everyone else (only about 300 people live on the island year-round), and helping your neighbors was second nature! On this edition of Dyed Green, we speak with Tomás and Máirtín about what it was like to grow up on an island; being raised with Irish as their first language; the history of the currach and their craftsmanship; and why they decided to start a tourist experience. We also discuss the incredible ham salad at Teach an Tae, Aran sweaters, and the impact their new business has had in their community.Dyed Green is a project of Bog & Thunder, whose mission is to highlight the best of Irish food and culture, through food tours, events, and media.

At least 50 soldiers have been killed in the latest attack in Mali as insecurity mounts in the country. The ambush took place near the northern town of Anefis and is one of the deadliest to occur in years. The attack has been claimed by Tuareg separatists and Al-Qaeda linked jihadists. The ambush has raised several questions about Mali's military strategy and playbook after the country ended cooperation with western allies and deepened ties with Russia.And do you know about the historic Gnaoua genre of music from Morocco? This music is one of UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage traditions. It developed in Morocco from the 16th and 17th centuries and is rooted in the history and spiritual practices of sub-Saharan African populations brought to the region via the trans-Saharan slave trade.Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Bella Twine and Blessing Aderogba Senior Producers: Caroline Mwangi and Charles Gitonga Technical Producer: Maxwell Onyango Editors: Rhoda Odhiambo and Maryam Abdalla

Christopher Nolan's Odyssey just earned nearly $300 million retelling a 3,000-year-old story — so what actually separates imitation from transformative interpretation? In this episode, Tricia makes the case that cover songs are the perfect entry point into the AI and creativity conversation for educators. You'll trace how Aretha Franklin re-authored Otis Redding's "Respect," why translator Emily Wilson's critique of Nolan's film proves that interpretive choices matter, and how three human skills — reflect, re-envision, rework — map directly onto UNESCO's vision of students as AI co-creators rather than passive users. Tricia also shares a new free resource, "What Exactly Is Human Nature?," an interactive timeline that lets you listen backwards through the many renditions of one iconic song. If you've been looking for an invitational, art-first metaphor to bring colleagues into the AI conversation, this one's for you. 00:00 – Nolan's Odyssey: 2 a.m. sold-out screenings for a 3,000-year-old story 02:22 – Can a cover ever beat the original?

7Sees is a researcher and host of “This Week on the Web” on Ickonic.
