Teens aren’t googling your organisation, they’re asking AI

When a 15 year old starts thinking about where to go after school, they’re increasingly asking AI before they ask anyone else. Research from the UK’s communications regulator Ofcom showed that around four in five teenagers who use the internet are already using generative AI tools such as ChatGPT or Claude. This matters because generative tools don’t…

Listening to Skepticism: What Faculty Concerns About Generative AI Reveal

Listening to faculty concerns about generative AI can help institutions respond with more clarity, precision, and trust. Credit: Natalllenka.m / Shutterstock.com © 2026 Across higher education, conversations about generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) often begin with questions about how to adopt it, where to apply it, and how quickly to do so. For many faculty, however,…

Generative AI falls short in diagnostic reasoning despite accuracy

Generative AI falls short in diagnostic reasoning despite accuracy

Despite increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in health care, a new study led by Mass General Brigham researchers from the MESH Incubator shows that generative AI models continue to fall short at their clinical reasoning capabilities. By asking 21 different large language models (LLMs) to play doctor in a series of clinical scenarios, the…

How should students, and schools, use AI? San Diego County districts take a patchwork approach – San Diego Union-Tribune

How should students, and schools, use AI? San Diego County districts take a patchwork approach – San Diego Union-Tribune

When students are introduced to most new topics, schools can slowly scaffold learning. But that’s not been the case with artificial intelligence, as Poway Unified School District learned.  “We gave students keys to the sports car before we gave them any drivers’ ed,” says Amy Fousek, the district’s director of educational technology, in a November…

AI is Accelerating Retail Development — and Exposing New Security Gaps

AI is Accelerating Retail Development — and Exposing New Security Gaps

Retail technology teams face a paradox: artificial intelligence is transforming how software gets built, yet the very tools that accelerate delivery are outpacing the security processes designed to protect it. For retailers competing on digital experience, faster development is essential. However, as the use of generative AI to create code and automate features becomes standard…
