From Documents to Practice: Integrating AI for Students’ Learning
AI is now at the center of how we talk about teaching, learning, and employability, at KTH in general, and very concretely at a school level within SCI. The question isn’t whether generative AI will be used; it already is. The real question is how we integrate it so it becomes a resource rather than a shortcut that quietly erodes learning.
At the SCI faculty breakfast on AI in education, one message stood out: we need to learn faster together. Colleagues asked for structured ways to share course experiments, teaching materials, and what actually works in practice.

Rail commuters in cold climates like Sweden’s are all too familiar with winter train delays and cancellations. The culprit is usually rail switches that freeze up or clog with snow even though they’re heated. A new study offers a more affordable and sustainable solution to keep these crucial, track-moving components in working order. According to researcher William Liu with the Railway Group heating a single switch in the Stockholm region costs about 12,000 Swedish kronor annually. Farther north, the cost is about 90,000 annually. Read the article | | | KTH empties a family’s home of plastic
