In early July, a conference in Costa Rica and a classroom debate in Mexico highlighted emerging concerns about the use of generative AI in schools. By late July, analysts in France warned that autonomous AI systems were reversing the traditional emphasis on knowledge, urging a return to substantive instruction. Simultaneously, Costa Rica's second Education Congress convened over 170 educators and officials to explore integrating AI tools while preserving human‑centered teaching, emphasizing equity, values, and critical thinking.

Both snapshots illustrate a growing, cross‑national dialogue on how AI reshapes curricula, teaching methods, and the balance between skill‑based learning and foundational knowledge.
