Text Shot: Fear-based framing dulls the pedagogical opportunities AI tools can provide. Emerging research illustrates how generative AI can support personalized and scaffolded learning that aligns with constructivist theories and Vygotsgy’s Zone of Proximal Development. Studies by Kanont et al. (2024) and Zheldibayeva (2025) describe the possibilities for AI to act as a learning buddy that enhances listening, writing, and other literacy skills. But when institutional framing casts AI as illicit, these learning supports become off-limits. This has troubling consequences for accessibility. Students with disabilities depend on AI-enhanced assistive technologies. Kuerban et al.
