Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? In 2026, a pronounced shift toward human intelligence emerged in opening-lecture polls, with 90% of students in a Design Thinking for AI course favoring investment in human intelligence. → Islem Rekik 2026

q2 · i? · associational · r1
Longitudinal anonymous classroom poll administered at the opening lecture of AI-focused computer science courses before technical instruction, measuring pre-instructional beliefs. The section reports that in 2026 "a pronounced shift toward HI emerges," with 90% favoring human intelligence in the design-oriented course. The article offers no effect size for this contrast.
"In 2026, a pronounced shift toward HI emerges, most notably in a Design Thinking for AI course, where 90% of students favor investment in human intelligence."
