Interesting reading here 👇 about #AI, #teaching in Universities, and assessing student's #knowledge building and understanding.
No simple answer. We cannot remain in a position of total rejection (for valuable ethical reasons), nor of uncontrolled acceptance.

Why universities need to radically rethink exams in the age of AI
Academia is unprepared for the rise in chatbot use among students — but with the right AI tools, personalized learning could soon become a reality.

They write: #AI promises rapid and polite review on papers

BUT also that:

"LLMs can provide feedback in seconds, potentially without conflicts of interest. But there is a big difference between a process that is efficient and one that is valid." ⚒️ 🧪
AI reviewers are here — we are not ready
Artificial intelligence promises rapid and polite feedback on papers — but we must first review the reviewer.

Great pleasure to inform you that TEKTONIKA #DOAJ is in the #open-access database OpenAlex ! ⚒️

OpenAlex is a free, open alternative to WOS or SCOPUS which are under paywall. It even records more sources, in particular in humanities.

To encourage more qualitative than quantitative assessments, and to promote open science, @cnrs.fr is unsubscribing from WOS. ⚒️ 🧪

Basic principle: any use of AI by authors must be declared, and justified, and must follow the rules detailed in our guidelines 👇

Respect transparency and #openscience #ethics
At Tektonika #DOAJ we now have guidelines about #AI usage. We encourage our authors and reviewers to carefully read them. ⚒️ 🧪

We will explain those guidelines and comment on AI usage in our next editorial.

A very important point for our reviewers: It's strictly prohibited for them to use online AI tools to summarize or evaluate submitted manuscripts.

Uploading a manuscript, or part of it, to third-party systems breaches manuscript's confidentiality and authorship rights. ⚒️

Great to see our paper exploring the mechanisms for deep earthquakes in the southern East Africa Rift System published #OpenAccess in @wearetektonika.bsky.social 😀 Probably the last in a long line of papers that have explored this region's tectonics and seismic hazard through the PREPARE project!

Section 👇 from Shnizai & Walker in Tektonika 2024 @wearetektonika.bsky.social shows structure of Jalalabad basin, E #Afghanistan.
It's not right across the recent #earthquake but more to the W. The earthquake may have occurred on a thrust fault equivalent to the one to the left of the section. 1/2 ⚒️

🚨 New paper alert! ⚒️

Are you interested in rift tectonics and the East African Rift?

Check out how lineaments that are highly oblique to the Main Ethiopian Rift can still deform via local strain reorientation. 😃
