Universities are embracing AI: will students get smarter or stop thinking?
Millions of students arriving at campuses are now using artificial intelligence. Worries abound.

How FAIR is shared data in psychology?
We analyzed 11,384 datasets (2013–2024): They're findable, but less reusable!
What relates most to differences in FAIRness? #Repository choice.

I'm really focusing on the last part, where the author discusses that we need to be watchful when using such tools. Especially in research, where the trust in European societies in science were quite high in the last few centuries and there's virtually no "room for error".
