    AI in 5: The AI Browser War — The Next Battle for the Internet (June 8, 2026)
    Jun 10 2026

    For nearly 30 years, browsers worked the same way: you search, you click, you read, you decide. That era is ending.

    In this episode of AI in 5, AI Learning Guide JR D explores the AI Browser War — the race between Google, Perplexity, Microsoft, OpenAI, and a new wave of startups to build the first truly intelligent browser. One that doesn't just find information — it acts on it.

    We cover Google's Gemini-powered upgrades inside Chrome (still commanding ~70% of the global browser market), Perplexity's new Comet browser, and why researchers are finding that productivity and education already dominate AI-agent usage — accounting for more than 50% of all interactions.

    But this battle isn't just about features. It's about who becomes the gateway between you and the internet. And with that power comes real tradeoffs: cybersecurity vulnerabilities, privacy concerns, and a governance gap that experts like Geoffrey Hinton — the "Godfather of AI" — warn we can't afford to ignore.

    Whether you're a teacher redesigning assignments, a parent raising digitally literate kids, or a professional rethinking your workflow, the AI Browser War affects you now.

    Tune in, stay curious, and start paying attention to every search you make.

  • The Friday Download: ChatGPT Dreams, Maryland Means It, and Congress Drops a 269-Page AI Mic (June 5, 2026)

    The Friday Download: ChatGPT Dreams, Maryland Means It, and Congress Drops a 269-Page AI Mic (June 5, 2026)
    Jun 7 2026

    This week on The Friday Download, JR breaks down three stories that actually moved the needle in AI and education.

    First up: OpenAI's ChatGPT just got a memory overhaul called Dreaming V3 — a background process that rewrites what the AI knows about you automatically, without you asking. It's rolling out to Plus and Pro users now, with free users coming soon after a 5x compute reduction made it financially viable. Privacy researchers are already raising flags about the 96% of memories the system creates on its own.

    Then: two states stop talking and start doing. Maryland's AI Ready Schools Act took effect June 1 — requiring statewide guidelines, professional development for teachers, and AI literacy in K–12 standards by 2027. Utah went a different route, adopting Google Gemini for Education statewide for the 2026–27 school year, giving 680,000 students and 28,000 educators access to AI tools.

    And the Tiny Tech Snack: Congress dropped the Great American AI Act — a 269-page bipartisan discussion draft that would freeze state AI laws for three years. Teachers unions called it a "hard no" within hours. The debate is on.

  • AI in 5: Cognitive Offloading: When AI Helps Learning — and When It Does the Thinking for Us (June 1, 2026)

    AI in 5: Cognitive Offloading: When AI Helps Learning — and When It Does the Thinking for Us (June 1, 2026)
    Jun 2 2026

    Is AI making your students smarter — or doing their thinking for them? In this episode of AI in 5, The AI Learning Guide JR breaks down cognitive offloading: the process of shifting mental work onto external tools like calculators, GPS, and now AI assistants. In education, this raises a critical question — when does helpful become harmful?

    Research shows a significant negative relationship between frequent AI use and critical thinking, with cognitive offloading as a key mechanism. One high-profile study found that ChatGPT users showed the lowest brain engagement across neural, linguistic, and behavioral measures when writing essays. But the story isn't simply anti-AI: tutoring research demonstrates real gains when AI supports human instruction with targeted feedback.

    The key is strategy: use AI to extend thinking, not replace it. Build in productive struggle. Require reflection, justification, and student voice — every time.
