Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

Education Secretary Linda McMahon has stated that artificial intelligence can be a very effective tool in schools. This perspective comes as educators and analysts weigh the benefits of the technology against the risks of cognitive dependence. While some officials view AI as a beneficial resource for the classroom, other perspectives highlight the danger of students bypassing the critical thinking process. Concerns have been raised that relying on AI for writing and problem solving may lead to a loss of critical thinking skills and a dangerous illusion of competence. To mitigate these risks, some suggest that schools should teach students when to use AI and when to prioritize independent thought, emphasizing the evaluation of the learning process over the final product.
