The Current State of Education

Artificial intelligence is a rapidly growing technology that is actively changing how we teach, learn, work, and live. AI can be found nearly everywhere. Many people knowingly and unknowingly interact with AI daily, from mobile phones and computer applications to surveillance systems and media streaming services. In its most basic definition, artificial intelligence is any machine-based system designed around human-defined objectives to perform tasks that would otherwise require human or animal intelligence. Varying in purpose and programming, AI systems can do one or more of the following: identify patterns, understand natural language, produce content, make predictions and decisions, give recommendations, solve problems, or adapt to and learn from new information and circumstances.

Devin, co-authored: building an AI LMS in public with the first autonomous software engineer

We report on the in-public construction of sof.ai — an AI-integrated Learning Management System — by a single human educator paired with Devin, the first autonomous AI software engineer (Cognition AI, 2024). Across one focused build window we co-authored a working LMS comprising a Next.js frontend, a FastAPI backend, a deployed Fly.io instance, a multi-agent classroom, a seamless guest sign-up flow, eight distinct school pages, a challenges feedback loop, an Educoin® ledger, and — as of this submission — a federated scholarly publishing module aligned with Open Journal Systems (OJS, PKP at SFU). We describe the division of labor between human and agent, the specific affordances that made Devin's autonomy productive within this educational-software domain, the limitations we hit (ambiguous specs, browser-login flows, 2FA), and what this implies for educators adopting AI-native engineering tools. Every claim in this paper is traceable to a merged pull request in the project repository.
