TechCrunch · AI The Decoder AI is eroding office hours, study groups, and the trust between faculty and students, MIT report finds
An MIT expert committee warns that AI is eroding key parts of the college experience: office hours, study groups, and the school's flagship research program for undergraduates are all fading. Trust between faculty and students is breaking down, and some professors are even considering AI agents instead of students as research assistants. The university most closely tied to AI's origin story is now calling for a complete overhaul of higher education.

The Verge · AI Our minds aren’t equipped to handle AI
Norbert Wiener, godfather of cybernetics, once said, "The thought of every age is reflected in its technique." For the past century, our thought has been reflected in our computers, including by those in the AI industry. Google's Demis Hassabis calls the brain "a biological approximation to a Turing machine." Elon Musk puts it more bluntly, […]
MIT Technology Review · AI People really hate AI, so why can’t they get enough?

The Decoder Google researchers find a way to keep self-improving AI agents from memorizing their tests
Self-improving AI agents tend to memorize their test tasks, so their gains shrink or disappear on new ones. RRSI, a new method from Google researchers, reins in this effect and lifts scores on unseen benchmarks by up to 4.7 points while using about 30 percent fewer tokens than an unregularized version.

The Decoder Chinese AI models parrot state doctrine or refuse to answer on sensitive topics
Chinese AI models often follow the party line on politically sensitive questions, according to an Aleph Alpha study that rated only 17 to 41 percent of answers as balanced. Aleph Alpha sells "sovereign AI" to governments, giving it a commercial interest in distinguishing its models from Chinese competitors.
