'The evidence suggests a degree does still pay off over time, but that the path into well-paid work may be longer and bumpier than in the past.' Low number of graduate jobs, influx of AI cvs and online recruitment processes and shrinking graduate premium (esp. for young women) at issue.
Is the UK failing its graduates?

This kind of wider discussion and engagement is exactly what I was hoping for when I was writing this review. I think it's important that as a field we consider the ethical and pedagogical uses of AI, calling all stakeholders, including reviewers and publishers, for more attention to this topic.

Now approaching half of all Britain's universities in deficit. Still nothing is done. Every day without a plan will make the eventual reset even more expensive.

“To govern is to choose: my policy recommendation is that the government does not make the UK poorer by curtailing international student migration.”

How do we manage to process and retain complex or lengthy information—such as sentences, problem-solving steps, or visual configurations—when our WM capacity is so limited?
Simple: We use cognitive schemas and chunking!

A year ago our faculty commissioned & adopted guidance on GenAI and research integrity. Preamble below, pdf at osf.io/preprints/os..., text also at ideophone.org/generative-a...

Key to these guidelines is a values-first rather than a technology-first approach, based on NL code of research conduct
Preamble

All research at our institution, from ideation and execution to analysis and reporting, is bound by the Netherlands Code of Conduct for Research Integrity. This code specifies five core values that organise and inform research conduct: Honesty, Scrupulousness, Transparency, Independence and Responsibility.

One way to summarise the guidelines in this document is to say they are about taking these core values seriously. When it comes to using Generative AI in or for research, the question is if and how this can be done honestly, scrupulously, transparently, independently, and responsibly.

A key ethical challenge is that most current Generative AI undermines these values by design [3–5; details below]. Input data is legally questionable; output reproduces biases and erases authorship; fine-tuning involves exploitation; access is gated; versioning is opaque; and use taxes the environment.

While most of these issues apply across societal spheres, there is something especially pernicious about text generators in academia, where writing is not merely an output format but a means of thinking, crediting, arguing, and structuring thoughts. Hollowing out these skills carries foundational risks.

A common argument for Generative AI is a promise of higher productivity [5]. Yet productivity does not equal insight, and when kept unchecked it may hinder innovation and creativity [6, 7]. We do not need more papers, faster; we rather need more thoughtful, deep work, also known as slow science [8–10].

For these reasons, the first principle when it comes to Generative AI is to not use it unless you can do so honestly, scrupulously, transparently, independently and responsibly. The ubiquity of tools like ChatGPT is no reason to skimp on standards of research integrity; if anything, it requires more vigilance.
