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.
🇸🇳 You can tell Dakar is bustling, even from space! Its location means it has beaches on all sides of the city, but that it is boxed in from all sides. #MissionAlpha

Within 10-20 years, nearly every branch of science will be, for all intents and purposes, a branch of computer science.
Computational physics, comp chemistry, comp biology, comp medicine... Even comp archeology. Realistic simulations, big data analysis, and ML everywhere

Help us amplify what’s going on in Senegal. People are protesting to denounce injustices and to protect our democracy but they are being murdered and injured. The government shut down independent local medias and internet is being restricted. We need #FreeSenegal to go viral !
Les terroristes sont assis au gouvernement @Macky_Sall. J’espère que ceux qui tirent sur les enfants des gens n’ont pas de famille. Car c’est un point de non retour qui est atteint. Les 2 yeux pour un œil et toute la mâchoire pour une dent. #NouvelleLoiDuTalion
🔴🇸🇳#SENEGAL: une nouvelle vidéo illustre l'escalade de la violence dans le pays. Cette scène filmée par un habitant de #Dakar montre des policiers avec des gilets pare-balles, poursuivre et tirer sur des manifestants en fuite.
