Abstract
The Pitfalls of AI Integration in Education: Skill Obsolescence, Misuse, and Bias book is a response to the research gaps and unanswered questions. It is a deliberate shift away from techno-utopianism toward a grounded, critical engagement with AI's role in shaping educational futures. While much of the prevailing discourse celebrates possibility, we have chosen to examine peril: the risk of skill atrophy when generative tools supplant creative labor, the encroachment of surveillance technologies under the guise of pedagogical support, and the entrenchment of biases within algorithmic systems that claim neutrality while operationalizing historical inequities. Our contributors span the domains of education, computer science, ethics, policy, and cognitive science, offering a multidisciplinary interrogation of the unintended, often unanticipated, consequences of AI integration in classrooms, curricula, and institutional systems. We are not alarmists but realists. We do not advocate abandoning AI, nor do we harbor nostalgia for a pre-digital past. Rather, we argue for a more discerning adoption—one anchored in pedagogical intent, procedural transparency, and an unwavering commitment to human dignity. In many ways, this book could be read as a companion to the emerging genre of speculative nonfiction—not because it forecasts distant futures, but because it interrogates the ones currently under construction, often without democratic deliberation or ethical guardrails. If history and speculative fiction alike have taught us anything, it is that technological progress, when left unchecked, tends to obscure the deeper values at stake. We invite you, therefore, to read these chapters not merely as a critique but as a provocation—to think more deeply, act more responsibly, and imagine more boldly the kinds of educational futures we truly want to build.

Abstract
Advocates of AI in Education (AIEd) assert that the current generation of technologies, collectively dubbed artificial intelligence, including generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), promise results that can transform our conceptions of what education looks like. Therefore, it is imperative to investigate how educators perceive GenAI and its potential use and future impact on education. Adopting the methodology of collective writing as an inquiry, this study reports on the participating educators’ perceived grey areas (i.e. issues that are unclear and/or controversial) and recommendations on future research. The grey areas reported cover decision-making on the use of GenAI, AI ethics, appropriate levels of use of GenAI in education, impact on learning and teaching, policy, data, GenAI outputs, humans in the loop and public–private partnerships. Recommended directions for future research include learning and teaching, ethical and legal implications, ownership/authorship, funding, technology, research support, AI metaphor and types of research. Each theme or subtheme is presented in the form of a statement, followed by a justification. These findings serve as a call to action to encourage a continuing debate around GenAI and to engage more educators in research. The paper concludes that unless we can ask the right questions now, we may find that, in the pursuit of greater efficiency, we have lost the very essence of what it means to educate and learn.

Abstract
The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology in the agricultural sector using advanced sensor systems has garnered significant interest in the recent year, especially in promoting food security. This study shows an application of this to Spondias purpurea (Philippine Pias Prunes), an important fruit in the Philippine Archipelago. The developed system places significant importance on the connection of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and the Google Cloud Platform. This integration enables real-time monitoring, data storage, and analysis, therefore providing valuable insights into enhancing the drying process and mitigating spoilage by maintaining moisture levels within the recommended range of 12-14%. The technology provides farmers with the opportunity to extend the shelf life of the prunes, reduce food wastage and increased profitability. While the system focused on Spondias purpurea, the system is highly adaptable and scalable to other fruits and crops. The research employed a DHT11 sensor that is linked to a Raspberry Pi Microcontroller, together with a Google Cloud-Based Platform for the purpose of data storage and processing. Results of the experiments indicate that the temperature measurements remain consistent at varying conditions. Moreover, the humidity levels remain to be high while the prune’s moisture content continue to be steady. To enhance the system's functionality, future endeavours should focus on integrating the system with other agricultural processes. Additionally, it is recommended to broaden the scope of the cost-benefit analysis by considering aspects such as the initial investment, maintenance costs, energy consumption, and potential rewards in terms of product quality, loss reduction, and increased output.
