🤖 AI in Academia – Gamechanger or Risk?
How often do you use tools like #ChatGPT, Perplexity, Highspace, or ResearchRabbit in your work? #AI can speed up data analysis, boost literature search, and spark new ideas, but it also comes with risks like hallucinations, stereotypes, and unreliable data.

✈️ Can you guess where our philosophy editor Erika Mandarino was heading? Gudetama fans will know: Japan! The perpetually tired egg was luckily not a harbinger of her experience at the International Association of Women Philosophers conference at the University of Tokyo.
