Can generative AI add anything to academic peer review?

Although generative AI applications promise efficiency and can benefit the peer review process, given their shortcomings and our limited knowledge of their innerworkings, Mohammad Hosseini and Serg…

Really insightful study on the tremendous bias involved in visual generative AI. It shrinks the world into stereotypes. https://restofworld.org/2023/ai-image-stereotypes/

I could not agree more. This is how this interesting article about #AI begins: "Several universities have told a Senate inquiry that it will be too difficult, if not impossible, to prevent students from using AI to cheat on assessments, and that, instead, "Institutions will have to change the way they teach."

A new system is needed to ensure students are actually learning
