Employers worldwide are pulling back on AI as they navigate a flood of errors and low-quality work that sap employee time, raise privacy and security risks, and drive up costs

Companies rushed in on AI. Now some are pulling back theguardian.com

Since September I've been working with an international group to develop what we hope can be a response from the mathematics community to artificial intelligence in maths. The Leiden Declaration is now posted and open for signatures: https://leidendeclaration.ai/ #LeidenDeclar…

AI Weekly's analysis →
  • The Leiden Declaration, released June 2, 2026, warns AI threatens proof integrity, attribution, and peer review in mathematics.
  • Over 2,654 signatories including Fields Medal winner Terence Tao have endorsed the community-initiated declaration.
  • The International Mathematical Union backs the declaration, which makes separate recommendations to researchers, publishers, policymakers, and AI developers.

Automated grading of student writing should have been a clear no-go from the beginning. I wrote this over three years ago and I can't believe how many faculty have allowed themselves to be seduced by this. Students rightly see this as betrayal. www.insidehighered.com/opinion/c…

Do not leave grading to the machines insidehighered.com
AI Weekly's analysis →
  • John Warner argues in Inside Higher Ed that AI grading of student writing violates writing's basic purpose: communicating with a human audience.
  • He extends an objection he first published over a decade ago against edX's algorithmic grading, now updated for generative AI that produces plausible feedback.
  • If a language model can pass an assignment, Warner writes, that reveals a design flaw in the assignment, not evidence the machine can read.

Microsoft is planning to build three massive AI data centres in Leeds. It’ll drain thousands of litres of water from the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter. We can still stop the council's sign-off, but we need more voices. Add your name: you.38degrees.org…

“If we just accept that AI dominance is inevitable & all we can do is “educate” people, we’ve already given up the game. These technologies are built on a series of choices made mostly by very wealthy white men. We can make different choices.” - @evangreer.bsky.social rabble.c…

Recent commentary

I know we’re all on board with this but I’ve had a good morning of writing and writing is thinking, kids, don’t offload this to AI. I’ve drafted a bunch of text that I’m pretty sure I’m going to delete and replace tomorrow but I know what I’ll replace it with *because* I spent the time writing it

I’ve just spent 2 hours making a sexy-ass Excel spreadsheet for some data. Why would I ever hand that kind of fun over to AI?

Our latest ethics system has a question in it about environmental impact of the research. Someone submitted a study using an AI tool and checked ‘no impact’ and my colleague bounced it back to them for revision Got me thinking - IS it ethical to study AI tool use cases? 🤔

Work is developing guidance for responsible use of AI in research. Given 'there is no such thing' isn't clearly an option, I'm thinking about how to feed into the process, and I'm thinking that the best framework is in terms of ethics; making our policy that you have to consider AI use at that stage

I finished @anilseth.bsky.social’s Being You. Turns out that luckily, all perception is some sort of controlled hallucination, so the solution to all the problems of cognition and consciousness is to hallucinate just right, which, luckily, we mostly do! So it all worked out in the end :)

Spent all day solving problems in my eye movement analysis code and now I’m smarter about both Matlab and eye movements. AI is for losers who don’t want to be better

Adobe really want to make PDFs impossible to interact with, don’t they. I got 4 pop ups and an AI summary I didn’t request in one file today

Students are going to have their watches listen to class and give them AI summaries, aren’t they. Who needs to take notes anymore? Sigh.

Just played a level of a game I play with my daughter and luckily it was just me today because I got an ad for an AI chatbot getting fucked and slapped and asking me what I wanted to do to it. I hate the future so much sometimes
