MIT published a brutally honest report on what AI is doing to students.

A committee of professors and students spent five months studying how AI changed learning on campus, and the findings read like a warning to every university on the planet.

Study groups are disappearing. Office hours are emptying out. Problem sets and take-home exams no longer prove anything, because AI can produce credible solutions to almost any written assignment in the undergraduate curriculum. Students who lean on chatbots lose mastery and confidence, and some slip into what the report calls cognitive surrender, reaching for AI at the first hint of struggle.

The numbers are rough. 46 percent of surveyed MIT undergrads use LLMs daily. 90 percent worry about their own overreliance. Undergrads who feel AI makes them replaceable now outnumber those who feel it makes them capable.

The committee's answer surprised me. They refused to fight AI with surveillance. The report calls AI detectors unreliable, says lockdown browsers feel like spying, and warns that policing students builds a classroom atmosphere of mutual distrust.

Instead, MIT wants to rebuild education around the things AI can't replace. That means oral exams, semester portfolios, in-person project work, and a required social component in every subject. The report even floats the idea of rethinking grades entirely, since without a GPA to optimize, much of the incentive to cheat with AI evaporates.

The committee warns professors against replacing undergrad research assistants with AI agents just because they're cheaper, because a university exists to grow people, not output.

The most famous tech school on earth admitted the machines broke its way of teaching. Its answer is more humans, not more software.

@albinder Would love to have a copy signed by you.

[Amit Gupta @aguptaiitd]

@albinder Great. I am sure it will be a bestseller.

आज Indian Instute of Technology, Delhi (IIT Delhi) के West Campus में माननीय विधायक श्री @upadhyaysbjp जी के साथ Children’s Park Development Project का शुभारंभ किया।

लगभग 2,000 वर्ग मीटर क्षेत्र में विकसित यह Children’s Park आधुनिक और child-safe play equipment से सुसज्जित है, जिसमें swings, slides, seesaws, climbing structures के साथ open gym facilities भी उपलब्ध हैं। यह पार्क बच्चों के शारीरिक विकास के साथ-साथ स्वस्थ और सक्रिय जीवनशैली को बढ़ावा देने की दिशा में एक महत्वपूर्ण पहल है।

पार्क के चारों ओर well-paved, accessible और non-slippery walking pathways विकसित किए गए हैं, जिससे सभी आयु वर्ग के लोग सुबह और शाम सुरक्षित रूप से टहल सकें। यह परियोजना न केवल बच्चों बल्कि पूरे campus community के लिए एक सुरक्षित, समावेशी और आनंददायक सार्वजनिक स्थान प्रदान करती है।

ऐसी सुविधाएँ हमारे शैक्षणिक परिसरों में well-being, fitness और community engagement को मजबूत करती हैं।

#WATCH | Delhi: Kenya's sprint coach Dennis Mwanzo and Japan's assistant coach Mieko Okumatsu were bitten by stray dogs at the warm‑up track of JLN Stadium yesterday.

Dennis Mwanzo says, "I have pain in my leg and a little headache...I have been taking water since morning because I thought it was dehydration, but I still have a headache...I was with my athlete...After I clapped for her to go, I felt something touching my leg. I thought it was my physiotherapist...When I turned, I saw a dog and it was already biting me...When I saw dogs, I thought they were friendly but I came to realise that they are not friendly...When I saw the Japanese Coach, I didn't know what happened. Later she told me she was bitten by a dog."

@mnwsth @BhartiyAbroad My point is not to discount Humanities. But why should it be a one-way street? Also, do check how many humanities courses are taught at medical schools? Just check the AIIMS curriculum.

[Amit Gupta @aguptaiitd]

@BhartiyAbroad @mnwsth This is from personal experience of 4 humanities courses and being a full-time academic for 14 years. Nobody said anything about being superior. Maybe that is an inner reflection being projected to my comment. For once, try and sit through an engineering class and you’ll know.

@SmitaSabharwal I had met Akun in 2001 and became friends. Over the years we lost touch. Give my regards to him. He might still remember me. 🙏

[Amit Gupta @aguptaiitd]

@SmitaSabharwal Wishing you a speedy recovery.

(2/2) Unfortunately proponents of one view take these influencers as heros to further their philosophy, without giving any thought that would the same condemned if it was an Indian taking sides in a foreign land.

[Amit Gupta @aguptaiitd]

(1/2) This is an issue that is pertaining to our country and we shall work it out. Whether both sides agree or not, this type of siding in matters that concern entire communities and cities is condemnable. (Contd.)

I spent the weekend in Delhi, India.

1 million street dogs are under severe threat.

I’ve never seen a story like this. I didn’t think it was possible in the modern world.

The world needs to see this… (1/10) 🧵

Meltdown of elites and privileged of epic proportions. The same empathy doesn’t apply to fellow Indians when these people jump queues to get ahead of the rest. Even value of life of all animals is treated with dismissive attitude. Hypocrites. #StrayDogs

[Amit Gupta @aguptaiitd]

@ThePrintIndia Dog feeders have refused to comply or cooperate with people suffering due to aggression of dogs. Intimidating using badly worked out law was the norm. Had they been sympathetic to rights of general public, the matter would have been handled differently. Enough is enough.

Three students received their Ph.D. degrees yesterday at the 56th Convocation of @iitdelhi. Congratulations to Drs. Raghvendra Gupta, B Binoy and Parvez Ahmad and best wishes for their future. Our research group feels considerably lighter with their departure.

[Amit Gupta @aguptaiitd]

@mdsirajofficial Incredible effort at the end of the 4th innings. Bumrah, Jadeja and you made all proud of putting a brave fight.
