'Coding is Dead': How Universities Are Transforming Computer Science Curricula for the AI Age

news computer science

The University of Washington’s (UW) Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering has become a leading example of how academic institutions are radically rethinking computer science education to meet the demands of the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution—an era where, some argue, “coding is dead” and the value of conventional programming is being transformed by generative AI technologies like ChatGPT. This evolution not only reshapes the way students are taught but also raises urgent questions for Thai educators, institutions, and policymakers about how to prepare local graduates for a rapidly changing job market increasingly shaped by automation and intelligent systems.

New Research Reveals the Brain's Intricate Map for Reading

news neuroscience

A new meta-analysis by the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences offers the most detailed understanding to date of how our brains process written language—a development with profound implications for education, mental health, and addressing literacy challenges in Thailand and worldwide. Published in the journal Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, the study summarizes decades of neuroscience research, analyzing data from 163 brain imaging studies to construct a highly detailed map of the brain regions activated during different types of reading tasks, from letters and words to sentences and passages.
