Ai Tech update for educators 16th Mar

Kane from the Teacher’s AI Cafe recaps key AI updates affecting teachers: OpenAI has removed older models (including the 5.1 family as of March 11), which may explain changes in outputs; Google’s substantial Gemini update across Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Drive can build spreadsheets, fill missing data, and answer questions across Drive content, targeting the “blank page” problem but raising professional judgment questions; Microsoft’s Office 365 Wave 3 expands Copilot integration across apps; Grok 4.2 beta and multi-agent beta suggest a trend toward semi-autonomous AI workflows that may later reach teaching tools; and Anthropic launched the Anthropic Institute focused on governance and public interest research. He notes a report of Australian schools using chatbots to question students about submitted work, highlighting the assessment arms race, and urges teachers to check and try new features in existing tools.00:00 Welcome to AI Cafe00:23 Weekly AI Headlines00:26 OpenAI Model Changes00:50 Gemini in Google Workspace01:37 Microsoft Copilot Wave 302:12 Grok Multi Agent Direction02:44 Anthropic Institute and Trust03:29 AI Policing AI in Schools04:27 Takeaways and Sign OffSubscribe the the newsletter for podcast cheatsheetsFind the YouTube version of this hereGo to this Facebook group to access the cheatsheethttps://www.facebook.com/groups/learnaiforteachers/Email: [email protected] to you by: https://learnaiquickly.com/
