With more generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools and software being developed or improved upon daily, higher education professionals who don’t use this technology appropriately risk being left behind. Here are seven AI tools that you can use in your research, teaching and learning:1. Idea generation with Gemini Gemini is Google’s version of ChatGPT and can be used to generate research ideas and questions. You should experiment with different prompts related to framing your research question, because how you ask the questions can dictate the quality of the tool’s response. For instance, the following two, similar, but different prompts, produce different results. Prompt…

The U.K. to introduce new laws to curb AI-powered CSAM image prodcution.getty There are many threats that have emerged as the evolution of AI continues apace, from hack attacks against billions of Gmail users, to the dangers of bypassing strict Google Gemini prompt controls, to AI-tools being used by hackers and cybercriminals. However, all of these, in my never humble option, fade into the background compared to the use of AI to create deepfakes, especially when these involve sexual material. Especially, especially when that is child sexual abuse material. Amazingly, it is not illegal to possess, create or distribute AI…

LONDON: Britain will become the first country to introduce laws against AI tools used to generate sexual abuse images, the government announced late Saturday.The government will make it illegal to possess, create or distribute AI tools designed to generate sexualised images of children, punishable by up to five years in prison, interior minister Yvette Cooper revealed.It will also be illegal to possess AI “paedophile manuals” which teach people how to use AI to sexually abuse children, punishable by up to three years in prison.”This is a real disturbing phenomenon.

In 2023, a Quizlet study revealed how educators are using AI in the classroom. The top AI use cases for teachers are research (44%), followed by generating lesson plans (38%), summarizing or synthesizing information (38%), and generating classroom materials like tests and assignments (37%). The study furthers that the majority (51%) believe these technologies will have a positive impact on the future of education for teachers, while 21% said they will not have a positive or negative impact. This research shows the rapid adoption of AI in education, offering immense potential for transforming the learning experience. Emphatically, the global AI…

The rapid rise in artificial intelligence has created intense discussions in many industries over what kind of role these tools can and should play — and health care has been no exception. The medical community largely anticipated that combining the abilities of doctors and A.I. would be the best of both worlds, leading to more accurate diagnoses and more efficient care.That assumption might prove to be incorrect. A growing body of research suggests that A.I. is outperforming doctors, even when they use it as a tool.A recent M.I.T.-Harvard study, of which one of us, Dr. Rajpurkar, is an author, examined…

Some years ago, search engine optimization (SEO) was entirely manual. If you were in the SEO space, you remember that optimizing content meant hours of keyword research, writing, tweaking metadata, and manually analyzing competitors. Every single step was handled by humans, from drafting blog posts to link-building strategies.  But today? SEO without AI is almost unimaginable. AI has completely reshaped how we approach SEO. Whether you’re a content creator, marketer, or YouTuber, AI-powered tools now handle tasks that once took hours, including content generation and technical SEO. These tools don’t just save time; they also improve accuracy, boost rankings, and…

When I arrived at Boston College in the fall of 2023, I had all the typical first-year concerns swirling in my head: Would I find my classrooms without getting lost? How could I juggle a new social life alongside difficult coursework? What I did not expect was the collective anxiety around artificial intelligence. Just a few months before, OpenAI released ChatGPT 4.0, and suddenly a technology that once felt theoretical was right there in our hands. On my first day, nearly every syllabus included a new policy about “Gen AI.” Many of these policies were vague or overly prohibitive, labeling AI…

At some point, you’ve probably been on both sides of the recruiting process—the one being recruited and the one doing the recruiting. Funny enough, even recruiters had to go through a hiring process themselves. I remember applying for a job once. I got an automated email confirming my application but never heard back—no congratulations, rejection, nothing. Later, I discovered that over 400 people had applied for that position. If you check LinkedIn, you’ll often see hundreds of applicants for a single job opening. Most companies need to fill positions quickly and move on. The challenge is sorting through hundreds (or…
