Ethan Mollick publishes a 'runnable' paper letting educators build their own AI Primer
emollick · x · 2026-11-13
Ethan Mollick explains that major AIs aren't built for learning out-of-the-box, so his team worked with teachers to give educators control, with a model-neutral design adaptable as needed. Named after the Primer from The Diamond Age, the paper's final appendix contains a prompt that hands the paper to an AI agent and tells it to build its own version of the Primer — a paper you can run.
