Purpose: Informational conflict and uncertainty are common features across a range of sources, topics and tasks. Search engines and their presentation of results via search engine results pages (SERPs) often underpinned by knowledge graphs (KGs) are commonly used across tasks. Yet, it is not clear how search does, or could, represent the…

This article explores the efficacy of AI used for teaching and learning tools. First, it examines three critical aspects of AI use in teaching and learning: AI complexity, algorithmic transparency, and AI bias.
