Teaching AI Ethics

Update: since I wrote this original post covering the nine areas, I've expanded each one into a complete article. Have a read through this post, and then when you're ready to dive deeper into AI ethics, check out the full series here. If you linked to this post as part of a course or university resource, I suggest updating your links with the complete series. https://leonfurze.com/ai-ethics/ As we head into the start of Term 1 it's already looking like Artificial Intelligence is going to be […]

Teaching Writing in the Age of AI: Assessment and “Cheating”

This is the fourth post in a series on Teaching Writing in the Age of AI. The first post provided an overview of some of the changes we're facing as the number of AI writing tools increases. Post two covered conversations about academic integrity, and the third post offered some practical advice on teaching students to be critical readers and writers. In this post, I'll be exploring the assessment of writing, and why AI is such an apparent threat to the way we currently teach and assess. In […]

The AI Iceberg: Understanding ChatGPT

Analogies are useful for understanding complex ideas, and there are plenty of complexities for educators trying to wrap their heads around ChatGPT. In this post, I’ll try to explain some of the features of the chatbot and the model it’s built on top of. I'm deliberately avoiding any kind of analogy that represents the AI as magical, mythical, human, or godlike - we've seen enough of them. I’m not claiming that this analogy is watertight or that there is no better way to conceptualise […]

[Перевод] Плато возможностей, или Куда катится машинное обучение в 2026 году

2025 год стал для ИИ временем отрезвления. Эпоха масштабирования подходит к концу. Эксперты сходятся во мнении, что простым увеличением данных и вычислительной мощности следующий качественный скачок не совершить. На первый план выходят новые архитектуры, компактные модели и принципиально иные подходы к обучению. В 2026 году индустрия, похоже, даст ответ на вопрос, что ИИ может дать нам здесь и сейчас. Мы вступаем в эпоху прагматичного ИИ. Попробуем разобраться, какие именно тенденции определят лицо ИИ в наступающем 2026-м году.

The Company Quietly Funneling #Paywalled Articles to #AI Developers
#CommonCrawl's website states that it scrapes the internet for "freely available content" without "going behind any '#paywall.'" Yet the organization has taken articles from major news websites that people normally have to pay for — allowing AI companies to train their #LLMs on high-quality journalism for free.
In #2020, #OpenAI used Common Crawl’s archives to train #GPT3.

🤡 Ah, the mystical GPT-3, cramming billions of ideas into a measly 12,288 dimensions, like a clown car of #concepts. 🚗🌌 Yet again, the internet is wowed by mathematical gibberish, while the rest of us are left wondering if this is just AI's way of #trolling humanity. 👀✨

Beyond Orthogonality: How Language Models Pack Billions of Concepts into 12,000 Dimensions

In a recent 3Blue1Brown video series on transformer models, Grant Sanderson posed a fascinating question: How can a relatively modest embedding space of 12,288 dimensions (GPT-3) accommodate millions of distinct real-world concepts? The answer lies at the intersection of high-dimensional geometry and a remarkable mathematical result known as the
