In response to these assumptions, Kieran Lavis and Katharine Burn draw on national and international calls for the promotion of AI literacy to set out a powerful defence of the subject’s relevance. Their article demonstrates the vital contribution that history education can make to the development of two specific AI competencies: recognition of the need and the ability to evaluate AI-generated content critically; and appreciation that such content is the product of human decisions, and thus far from being objective or neutral. They also sound an important note of caution, urging teachers not to sell history short as they seek to demonstrate its relevance, thereby risking a dangerous slide into generic forms of ‘critical thinking’.

Abstract: Professor J. Aquilina reflects on a speech by the Prime Minister characterizing the Maltese as "babies" in various fields such as the arts, science, and technology. He argues that while the nation is constitutionally independent, it must overcome intellectual immaturity and laments the dismantling of the old University as a step backward for national prestige.
