arXiv:2606. 09041v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Research on artificial intelligence in education (AIED) is rapidly expanding, yet technical progress often lacks human-centered grounding and adequate attention to cultural context.
arXiv:2606. 05222v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) has been applied across educational contexts to support learning.
arXiv:2606. 09006v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Both digital economy and digital technology researchers increasingly recognize the need to better address the role that artificial intelligence (AI) plays in shaping the evolution of the environmental, social and governance aspects of development.

The paper proposes a new interdisciplinary field called Cognitive Infrastructure Studies (CIS) to examine how AI systems act as invisible, foundational cognitive infrastructures that shape what people can know and do in digital societies. It argues that these infrastructures, through anticipatory personalization and adaptive invisibility, automate relevance judgments and shift epistemic agency to non‑human systems. CIS offers methodological tools, such as infrastructure breakdown experiments, to uncover the hidden cognitive dependencies created by AI preprocessing across individual, collective, and societal levels.

This paper reports on a seven‑weekend AI storytelling program for Black girls aged 10‑12 that blends Afrofuturism and Black feminist thought with AI‑enabled counter‑storytelling. Participants brainstormed AI topics, crafted characters and plots, and presented collaborative stories, developing core AI literacies such as prompt engineering, bias critique, and data‑privacy awareness. The study found that the girls produced Afrofuturist narratives grounded in their identities and everyday experiences, demonstrating the program’s effectiveness in engaging them in computer science education.
arXiv:2608. 16016v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) can produce high-quality essays, code, and design artefacts, challenging the validity of conventional assessments that rely on single-point submissions and product-only grading.
The paper explores how "culture" can be operationalised in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and what this reveals about the possibilities and limits of considering a plurality of cultural backgrounds in technological design. It proposes that cultural alignment cannot be achieved only by adding more examples of "other cultures", rather it requires plural epistemologies: allowing multiple, locally grounded ways of knowing.
