    Attention-grabbing finding from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology this week — artificial intelligence can now competently complete almost any written assignment MIT gives to its undergraduates, per an institutional committee. In the face of that challenge, the committee said MIT must revise its governance processes to allow for more rapid curriculum changes rather than subjecting faculty to "fixed, multi-committee, year-long review processes." The committee also made recommendations to faculty, including: ✅ Do have students write by hand in class during the early stages of assigned projects ❌ Don't relying on AI detection software to determine if students are cheating ✅ Do be transparent with students if using AI content in class or during the grading and feedback process ❌ Don't enact a grade capping policy See more guidance and the rationale behind it here: https://lnkd.in/gVVsT6Pr

    Nearly 800 keywords. That's what federal agencies have used to decide which research is worth funding — and which isn’t. Court filings reveal that the NIH, NSF, Department of Defense, and National Endowment for the Humanities relied on keyword screening to flag University of California (UC) researchers' grants for termination. Words like "gender," "historically," and “promote policymaker's use of scientific evidence” were enough to put a project on the chopping block. In one striking example, the NIH canceled at least $2.6 million in grants held by UC researchers for projects that simply used the phrase "structural racism", including a study on how racism affects the mental health of young people in the legal system. UC researchers are asking a federal judge to rule the terminations unconstitutional violations of their First Amendment rights. Some funding has already been ordered restored. The fight isn't over. The full keyword list is below — see for yourself how wide a net was cast. Reporting: Laura S., Higher Ed Dive: https://lnkd.in/eZF-CJii
