    Beyond Cognitive Offloading: What Must Remain Internal in Generative AI-Supported Learning?

    Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) can now perform cognitive activities such as explanation, synthesis, generation, evaluation, and reasoning on learners’ behalf. The central educational question is therefore no longer only which tasks can be delegated to GenAI, but…

    Beyond Cognitive Offloading: A Process–Agency Framework for Distinguishing AI Scaffolding from Cognitive Outsourcing in Higher Education

    Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) can improve task performance while changing the cognitive activity through which learning occurs. Yet prevailing contrasts between beneficial assistance and harmful dependence often conflate what is delegated, when support enters the…

    Preferred but Less Safe? Human Preference–Safety Conflict in Paired AI Comparison Data

    Human preference data are a primary input to the alignment of large language models. A preference judgement records which of two responses a person considers better overall; it is not by itself a measurement of safety. We test how closely the two correspond in paired comparison…

    Evaluating generative AI safety on real-world harm

    Safety benchmarks for large language models often rely on synthetic prompts, adversarial test cases, or narrowly defined toxicity tasks, which can leave a gap between benchmark performance and the kinds of failures that appear in deployed systems. This study evaluates whether a…
