On Substack, I wrote about academic integrity and writing collaboratively with AI.
But, more importantly, I featured another AI image designed by my kids. It kinda makes me think about collaborative writing in the landscape of AI. annettevee.substack.com/p/writing-co...

In my most recent post for Norton’s Substack, I outline a few ways to approach a conversation with a student who may have overused AI in your class. Ideally, it’s a conversation about writing process. aiandhowweteach.substack.com/p/what-about...

Remember that splashy Nov 2024 AI paper that found that AI improved innovation in materials science? Turns out it was a fraud! I wrote about how we need to "expect AI research to be messy," with a hat tip to Ben Shindel's fascinating post breaking down the problems with the paper. Links in comments.

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired.
It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵

Not to put too fine a point on it, but a week ago, the CSU closed 6 departments (among them, philosophy, women's and gender studies, and economics) and fired 46 tenure-line faculty at Sonoma State. One of those faculty studies AI ethics.
They fired the AI ethics professor. Then, this.

“The rollout will cover 23 campuses of the largest public university system in the United States, enabling students to access personalized tutoring and study guides through the chatbot, while the faculty will be able to use it for administrative tasks.”
OpenAI targets higher education in the U.S. with ChatGPT rollout at California State University
Microsoft -backed OpenAI said on Tuesday it will roll out an education-specific version of its chatbot to about 500,000 students and faculty at California State University as it looks to expand its user base in the academic sector and counter competition from rivals like Alphabet .
