The future of the AI-enhanced classroom - Financial Times
The technology can, for example, help with the hours of grunt work, sometimes unpaid, that teachers do outside the classroom. Educational technology companies are already launching products using generative AI to help teachers prepare lesson plans and presentations, and tasks for students, though, like AI elsewhere, these must be policed for “hallucinations” and bias. Increasingly sophisticated systems are being launched, too, that can mark tests and homework, even providing feedback on written work. Ed techs are also developing AI-powered tutors that can open the way to giving students more individual attention by tracking their progress and understanding and providing tailored support.

At Sakana AI, we have pioneered the use of nature-inspired methods to advance cutting-edge foundation models. Earlier this year, we developed methods to automatically merge the knowledge of multiple LLMs. In more recent work, we harnessed LLMs to discover new objective functions for tuning other LLMs. Throughout these projects, we have been continuously surprised by the creative capabilities of current frontier models. This led us to dream even bigger: Can we use foundation models to automate the entire process of research itself?

When Jennifer Wexton rose Thursday to speak on the House floor, something she has done countless times before, the congresswoman used a voice she thought was gone forever. After a rare neurological disorder robbed her of her ability to speak clearly, Wexton has been given her voice back with the help of a powerful artificial intelligence program, allowing the Virginia Democrat to make a clone of her speaking voice using old recordings of speeches and appearances she made as a congresswoman. She used that program to deliver what is believed to be the first speech on the House floor ever given via a voice cloned by artificial intelligence.

OpenAI secret tool revealed - Martin Crowley, AI Tool Report
OpenAI has built a tool designed to detect text written by ChatGPT, but is refusing to launch it. OpenAI has developed a tool that can detect if a piece of text has been created by ChatGPT, and flag it as AI-generated, predominantly designed to help teachers stop students from cheating on their written assignments. The tool, which is reportedly 99% accurate, adds a watermark (invisible to human eyes) to ChatGPT text and when that text is run through an AI detector tool, it’s then given a score to show how likely it is to have been generated by AI. The tool has no planned launch or release date, as OpenAI is grappling with the pros vs the cons of the tool.

How to win with generative engine optimization while keeping SEO top-tier - Cody Van Sistine, SearchEngineLand
There’s a new search strategy in town! Generative engine optimization (GEO), the younger sibling of search engine optimization (SEO), has arrived at the station.There’s a good chance you’re already familiar – if you head to Google and ask it a question, you’ll likely see an AI-generated blurb at the top of your search results. If you own a business and have spent time and resources vying for that top search position with SEO, this shift might be frustrating. Do you need to start all over again to optimize your content for this new type of search? Good news: There’s no need to reinvent the wheel, but it is time to adjust strategy slightly. Your existing SEO best practices will handle most of the heavy lifting, but there are a few clever shifts to make to stay visible, relevant and competitive.

New analysis estimates a five-year window for responding to AI impacts on higher education - ICEF Monitor
A new paper from leading venture capitalist, Mary Meeker, anticipates AI’s transformative impact on all aspects of higher education. It concludes that we have likely reached a point of “generational, fast and furious change across education” and calls for universities, technology leaders, and governments to work together to harness those new capabilities. The paper is essentially a call for higher education, corporations, and government to work together to, on the one hand, transform higher education to take full advantage of new AI technologies. On the other hand, it is also a call for continued American leadership in the field of generative AI.

Sam Altman: Next OpenAI model will first undergo safety checks by U.S. Government - Shubham Sharma, Venture Beat
Amid growing concerns over the safety of advanced intelligence systems, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has said that the company’s next major generative AI model will first go to the U.S. government for safety checks. In a post on X, Altman noted that the company has been working with the U.S. AI Safety Institute — a federal government body — on an agreement to provide early access to its next foundation model and collaborate to push forward the science of AI evaluations. The OpenAI boss also emphasized that the company has changed its non-disparagement policies, allowing current and former employees to raise concerns about the company and its work freely, and it remains committed to allocating at least 20% of its compute resources to safety research.

Ethan Mollick, professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, has attracted a large Substack following by reporting on his many experiments with generative AI in the classroom. In “The future of education in a world of AI,” Mollick wrote: “Education will be able to adapt to AI far more effectively than other industries, and in ways that will improve both learning and the experience of instructors… Change is coming to classrooms, and I think it is important to focus on a positive vision to help guide [us] through the uncertain times ahead.”

Intuit's CEO Just Said AI Is the Reason He's Laying Off 1,800 Employees. - Jason Aten, Inc.
The latest example comes from Intuit's CEO, Sasan Goodarzi, who announced the company would lay off around 1,800 employees, or 10 percent of its workforce. As I've shared many times, the era of AI is one of the most significant technology shifts of our lifetime. This is truly an extraordinary time -- AI is igniting global innovation at an incredible pace, transforming every industry and company in ways that were unimaginable just a few years ago. Companies that aren't prepared to take advantage of this AI revolution will fall behind and, over time, will no longer exist. In fact, Goodarzi goes on to explain that, while he's laying off 1,800 people, the company plans to hire that same number of employees "primarily in engineering, product, and customer-facing roles such as sales, customer success, and marketing." With the inclusion of "engineering," the implication is pretty clear.

University of Queensland researchers are playing a key role in the education sector’s response to the new learning environment. Associate Professor Jason Lodge from UQ’s School of Education is developing a systematic approach to guide educators on how they can adapt to generative AI. “Fundamental changes are underway in the education sector and while the tech companies are leading the way, educators should really be guiding that change,” Dr Lodge said. “We’re currently focused on the acute problem of cheating, but not enough on the chronic problem of how – and what – to teach.” Dr Lodge said there are 5 key areas the higher education sector needs to address to adapt to the use of AI,

Humane leaders quit to form a fact-checking Search Engine! - Martin Crowely, AI Tool Report
Following a disastrous launch, with scathing customer reviews, AI Pin company, Humane, has lost two of its key leaders: Strategic Partnerships Lead, Brooke Hartley Moy and Head of Product Engineering, Ken Kocienda, who have left to start their own company–called Infactory–which has nothing to do with AI hardware. Infactory is an AI-powered fact-checking search engine, with a difference. Unlike Google’s AI Overviews, which uses AI to provide information summaries, Infactory uses AI to pull information from a variety of trusted sources (citations included). They are prioritizing quality data over general content sources to ensure answers are accurate and not hallucinogenic.
