A report by strategy consultant firm Tyton Partners, sponsored by plagiarism detection platform Turnitin, found half of college students used AI tools in Fall 2023. The practice of using AI for writing feedback or grading assignments also raises ethical considerations. But teachers should then grade students’ work themselves when looking for novelty, creativity and depth of insight. “Using feedback that is not truly from me seems like it is shortchanging that relationship a little,” she said. She also sees uploading a student’s work to ChatGPT as a “huge ethical consideration” and potentially a breach of their intellectual property.

While some optimists focus on AI's benefits in education, others fear that using AI in classrooms could catalyze cheating and misinformation. This is where AI literacy can be useful. Created within the Stanford Graduate School of Education, CRAFT is a collaborative effort of Stanford education researchers, software developers, and curriculum developers. Lee also told BI that AI literacy in classrooms "should involve recognition of where AI can be effective and where it requires extra vigilance." He said the school also hopes to grow CRAFT's teacher codesign fellowship through which fellows develop AI literacy lessons.

Talk When Ruthless Cultural Elitism Is Exactly the JobI wonder if any of the many literary greats represented by Andrew Wylie ever considered using his story. I don’t think that’s ever happened. I think that’s the wrong way to look at it. Do you think that’s a phony attitude? Is there some defense of cultural elitism that you want to make?

☆ Storm clouds gather over highly indebted companies, Moody's says

Private equity-owned companies make up nearly three-quarters of Moody's list. In addition to higher interest payments, Moody's noted, many of the downgraded companies have fewer funding paths to staying afloat. Sixteen of the 30 companies that fell off Moody's at-risk list last quarter did so through defaults, not improved financial outlooks. As defaults rise, distressed debt exchanges will be the route of choice for many companies and their private equity owners, Moody's noted. Of the other companies that fell off Moody's list last quarter, seven opted instead to file for bankruptcy.

Согласно новой книге профессора Гарвардского университета Ави Лоеба, в 2017 году ученые обнаружили первые признаки разумной жизни за пределами Земли. По словам Лоеба, это был первый признак разумной жизни за пределами Земли. «Чужой: первый признак разумной жизни за пределами Земли»По словам Лоеба, объект не был естественным явлением, а представлял собой кусок космического мусора, выброшенный другой галактикой. В обзоре Publishers Weekly книгу «Чужой: первый признак разумной жизни за пределами Земли» назвали «спорным манифестом». «Захватывающий и убедительный случай, что мы могли видеть признаки разумной жизни около Земли и что нам следует искать дальше», – написала она.
