• Human intelligence differs fundamentally from AI’s statistical information processing.
• Over-reliance on generative AI risks replacing learning opportunities with convenience.
• Hybrid intelligence extends cognition when AI supports reflection, not decision-making.
• Learning analytics can help interpret learning, not just automate outcomes.
• Narrow views of AI limit its educational value.
