“AI Meets Law: How the UAE Is Building the World’s First Dynamic Legislative Ecosystem” Exclusive for Stankevicius

AI Meets Law: How the UAE Is Building the World’s First Dynamic Legislative Ecosystem

In this exclusive article for Stankevicius, I explore the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) comprehensive transformation of its legislative system through the strategic integration of artificial intelligence (AI). With the UAE Cabinet’s approval of an AI-powered legislative ecosystem, the nation is boldly stepping into a new era of governance where laws evolve in real-time, powered by data and artificial intelligence. This paradigm shift signifies the UAE’s strategic vision: legislation that is efficient and adaptive to the social, economic, and technological currents of the 21st century.

The ASTUTE(C) Framework by Dr. Jsmin (Bey) Cowin

The ASTUTE(C) AI Teaching infographic is designed for educators, faculty developers, instructional designers, and academic leadership seeking to strategically incorporate AI tools into teaching and learning. It provides a structured overview of over 50 curated tools organized into thematic categories such as Assessment, Content Creation, Data Analysis, Communication, and Productivity. Each tool is directly linked for immediate access, allowing users to explore and adopt solutions that align with their instructional goals. The infographic is especially useful in faculty training, curriculum redesign, and educational technology planning, offering a practical entry point for those navigating the expanding AI landscape. Centered on six pedagogical principles—Adaptive, Strategic, Technologically-Enhanced, Upskilling, Teaching, and Enrichment—it serves as a roadmap for institutions aiming to build AI capacity with intention and clarity.

Precision in practice: Structured prompting strategies to enhance TESOL by Dr. Jasmin Cowin

Introduction: Precision in Practice

A background in prompt engineering helps language educators refine curriculum development approaches, streamline lesson planning, and craft assessments and rubrics that address the diverse needs of multilingual learners (MLs). Educators can direct Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, ClaudeAI, Cohere, Gemini, and others to produce diverse forms of instructional content by crafting prompts to elicit specific language features, ranging from controlled grammar exercises to rubrics.

Exclusive! Forging the Future: President Trump’s AI Vision and OpenAI’s Challenge to DeepSeek by Dr. Jasmin Cowin for Stankevicius

In my latest and exclusive Stankevicius article, I examine OpenAI’s escalating battle with China’s DeepSeek, now labeled as “state-controlled” and a national security risk. With mounting concerns over innovation, surveillance, and global AI leadership, the stakes have never been higher. Read the full story here.

EDDN 635 Curriculum Development and Classroom Management in the Technology Era

This comprehensive course builds upon the foundation of curriculum development and classroom management in the context of teaching English language learners. Expanding its horizons to embrace the digital age, the course adeptly weaves innovative technology integration into the domain of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). Crafted to empower prospective TESOL/BLE educators, the course hones in on fostering competence in designing, implementing, assessing, and reflecting within diverse language learning environments, all while capitalizing on the potentials of cutting-edge technology. With a strong focus on practical application and discerning appraisal of technological tools, this course primes upcoming educators to excel amidst the ever-evolving educational landscape. Includes 10 hours of field work.

The assignment was to create a list of technology tools that not only aid teachers in instructional strategies and curriculum development but can also facilitate community outreach and engagement. I selected 9 tools that I currently use and explained how each tool can be used in an educational context for ELL students and for community outreach within my school. I used a padlet as I felt it was the best way to highlight each tool/website, it provides a clear view of the link, description and analysis. The assignment helped me further understand how many technological tools are used within a classroom.

Made with Padlet

Oralia Lainez-Tutka is a 4th year middle school Spanish teacher. This is her second semester with Touro University through the TESOL program.

“Although I have just begun my Touro journey, I do feel it is a positive one. My classes have supported my teaching, provided ample support, and I have been able to practice strategies and apply knowledge from my classes to my teaching. ”

Meta-participation and ethical transparency in role-playing games: Examining AI and algorithmic influence 

I am grateful to our collaborative, transdisciplinary and international work with Dr. Cristo Leon, Ph.D., James Lipuma, and Mauricio Rangel-Jimenez.
🚨 “Meta-participation and ethical transparency in role-playing games: Examining AI and algorithmic influence.”   Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and other non-human participants in role-playing games (RPGs) has brought new dimensions to interactive storytelling and game design. As
AI evolves to simulate human-like interactions more convincingly, its role in games raises significant ethical questions, particularly regarding transparency and player agency. This paper critically examines these issues, focusing on the concept of the meta-participant—the programmer or author responsible for designing the AI’s decision-making algorithms—
and the implications of their invisible influence and personal bias on the gaming experience of human players.

Dr. Cowin’s ‘Language Learning in 2050: A Technological and Cultural Forecast’- a Podcast with NotebookLM

Welcome to my newest exploration: From Research to AI: Language Learning in 2050: A Technological and Cultural Forecast, a podcast where I explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping academic work—not just in the classroom, but in the way we disseminate knowledge itself.

As researchers, we write, analyze, and synthesize ideas, but what happens when we use AI tools to take our work beyond the written word? In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of my latest research on the future of language education – examining how AI, multimodal learning, and cross-cultural adaptability might redefine teaching by 2050.

But here’s the twist: this podcast wasn’t scripted in the traditional way. Instead, I uploaded my work into NotebookLM, an AI-powered tool designed to transform written work into interactive and engaging formats. From text to voice, from static research to dynamic dialogue—this episode is an experiment in what AI can do for academic communication.

Join me as tow AI generated personas not only discuss the future of language education but also reflect on how AI is changing the way we share and interact with research itself. What does this mean for acadmics, educators, students, and the future of knowledge dissemination?

Meta’s End of Fact-Checking vs Plato’s Republic by Dr. Jasmin (Bey) Cowin

On January 7th, 2025, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg stunned the media, the public, and political world by announcing in a Facebook video an end to Meta’s longstanding fact-checking Meta for Media program. Instead, Meta will be implementing “community notes,” a system based on Elon Musk’s user-driven moderation strategy on X (formerly Twitter). Zuckerberg stated in the video, “It’s time to get back to our roots around free expression. We’re replacing fact checkers with Community Notes, simplifying our policies…” read more at Stankevicius:
