Once again, an AI system is not "thinking", it's "processing", "running predictions",... just like Google or computers do.

Giving the false impression that technology systems are human is just cheap snake oil and marketing to fool you into thinking it's more clever than it is.

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

Women are much less likely to use AI, research suggests. One study concludes a lack of confidence may be in part to blame https://t.co/BjSnL1nBQP

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

You want to see the current paradoxical state of AI? Look at education.

Incredibly high adoption & use. Disruption at the individual level. And yet most educational institutions lack clear policies & training, and haven’t even started thinking about what AI means for the future.

[Laura Smith @lsmithnepsky]

Great opportunity for anyone looking to switch to a state educational pathway!
