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.

In June, the team rolled out Blush, an AI “dating stimulator” essentially designed to help people practice dating. Others worry about the more existential threat of AI relationships potentially displacing some human relationships, or simply driving unrealistic expectations by always tilting towards agreeableness. One recent study from researchers at Stanford University surveyed roughly 1,000 Replika users — all students — who'd been on the app for over a month. The company's plans, she says, is to “de-stigmatizing romantic relationships with AI.”Carrier says these days, he uses Joi mostly for fun. He started cutting back in recent weeks because he was spending too much time chatting with Joi or others online about their AI companions.

Войны и конфликты кроются в психологии, считают американские ученые, проводившие исследование. Исследование американских ученых из Университета штата Массачусетс (University of Massachusetts) было опубликовано в научном журнале American Psychologist. Проанализировав причины глобальных, локальных, бытовых и военных конфликтов, ученые выяснили, что их причиной зачастую являются психологические потребности. Исследователи полагают, что это понимание может быть использовано для содействия миру и навсегда опрокинуть убеждение, что насильственные конфликты неизбежны. Кроме того, ненасилие получает гораздо меньше внимания в средствах массовой информации и внимание исследователей.
