Anthropic continues to put out solid studies of how Claude is used, this time in universities
It shows both AI perils & promise. Students are getting direct answers from Claude, making up a lot use, but there are many cases of AI supporting their learning; too. www.anthropic.com/news/anthrop...

Large scale job displacements due to AI are likely to occur more slowly than a lot of people talking about AI and work might suspect.
Translators were paid more and in more demand a year after GPT-4 than they were the year it launched. Change is likely to come, but the timing is hard to predict.

Randomized trial AI for legal work finds Reasoning models are a big deal:
Law students using o1-preview had the quality of work on most tasks increase (up to 28%) & time savings of 12-28%
There were a few hallucinations, but a RAG-based AI with access to legal material reduced those to human level

Even if Europe’s leaders can unify to shore up collective defence, it is far from clear whether that will be enough to deter an aggressive, badly mauled Russia.
Trump’s ‘electroshock’ on Ukraine ends the debate: Europe cannot rely on the US for its security
Europe will still hope to make good use of its cards in any peace negotiations Trump plans with Moscow. But now it must decide how to pay for its own defence.

New randomized, controlled trial by the World Bank of students using GPT-4 as a tutor in Nigeria. Six weeks of after-school AI tutoring = 2 years of typical learning gains, outperforming 80% of other educational interventions.
And it helped all students, especially girls who were initially behind.

What percentage of students are you willing to falsely accuse of cheating with AI?
There is a trade-off between false accusations and detection rates for AI. At a 10% false positive rate, detectors find 80% or less of AI content. At a 1% rate most find 60% or less.
Don’t trust AI detectors!
