Universities have known for years that they needed to figure out how to navigate the tension between academic freedom and basic HR issues. They outsourced those issues to the faculty, under the guise of shared governance. While on the ground toxic people were never managed.

Opinion: A journal editor tested AI-generated peer reviews and found them detailed, constructive — and sometimes bracingly critical. The harder question: not whether AI is perfect, but whether it can outperform the system academics already distrust. chroni.cl/4sf8h4J

Where does your college stand? The university map covers 1,557 four-year schools on two questions: how well each could absorb a hit to enrollment or revenue, and how its graduates do. Refreshed this week with the newest IPEDS and College Scorecard data. kylesaunders.com/university-…

When AI “goes rogue,” is the AI really to blame? Computer scientists have known for decades what can happen when software is given a goal without enough limits. theconversation.com/the-war-…

Quoting from the post: 'It is unclear whether all operators we observed during the relevant time period originated from a single actor. However, we attribute a core cluster of the activity to individuals associated with Moonshot AI, the developer of Kimi.'

Every practicing lawyer I know has stories of clients sending ChatGPT/Claude legal analysis (often based on misguided or one-sided inputs, giving a GIGO effect). Just funny - yet unsurprising - to see Lane Kiffin of all people doing it. espn.com/college-football/st…

Find myself reading The Times statement again. It’s so damn spot on. - trillion dollar AI companies stole the work of creators - not having to pay fairly for content undermines market for human-created content - AI needs this content to function - healthy society does, too
the Department of Justice filed what it calls an "historic" letter of interest in the NYT vs OpenAI/MSFT lawsuit, supporting OpenAI. Trump admin argues it is in the "national interest" to support OAI in the copyright case. NYT sent us statement with vigorous pushback below:

Here’s the bad part- when people think they’re talking to AI they are “less nice.” So what happens when we have to put people back into these roles. You can imagine the crap they’re gonna take! Y’all bringing these soon to be realized outcomes on yourself- we’ve been warning you.
The generative AI apology: better than a human’s, sometimes: New research finds generative AI outperforms human agents at handling minor service failures, but loses its edge when initial fixes fail, unless empathy or compensation is added. dlvr.it/TTpZX9

The next great AI application, driven by open source, or open weights, will be a job simulator. How employees gain experience in a future AI world is going to be far different from today. Employees won’t have as many touch points in the company to gain knowledge and experience from. That’s where judgement has historically come from. Much like race car drivers and pilots have software that is continually updated to enable them to experience as many scenarios as possible, trying to replicate what could happen IRL, smart companies will have their employees and stakeholders with the most domain knowledge create the simulator that takes them through every possible situation they could face and helps prepare them. Onboarding will have a completely different meaning Smart companies will realize that Father Time is not only undefeated in sports , but business as well. If you are not capturing what is your business is all about from ALL of your employees , you will be challenged.

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

We turned the 1,534 submissions to the UN Global Dialogue on AI into a free explorer. Every proposed measure is searchable by region, type of stakeholder and theme. If your organization wrote in, you can find yourself and see who else proposed similar submissions. What the data shows: → Safety is the #1 theme, picked by 73% of submitters from the UN's own list → Submitters point to binding law more often than to voluntary norms, 50% to 39% → Capacity building is a global demand: 58% propose it, rising to 74% among African submissions Overall, a strong mandate for action in the coming months. The explorer link below.

We're calling on @NYCMayor and NYCPS to place a moratorium on classroom AI! "New York City Public Schools should resist Big Tech’s agenda of turning public school kids into lab rats for untested products that threaten harm to development, mental health, and data security — and which Silicon Valley parents don’t let their own kids near."
