Uses of AI in Education
In May 2023, the U.S. Department of Education released a
report titled Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Teaching and
Learning: Insights and Recommendations. The department had
conducted listening sessions in 2022 with more than 700 people,
including educators and parents, to gauge their views on AI. The
report noted that “constituents believe that action is required now
in order to get ahead of the expected increase of AI in education
technology – and they want to roll up their sleeves and start
working together.” People expressed anxiety about “future
potential risks” with AI but also felt that “AI may enable achieving
educational priorities in better ways, at scale, and with lower
costs.
AI could serve – or is already serving – in several teachingand-learning roles, for instance:
instructional assistants: AI’s ability to conduct human-like
conversations opens up possibilities for adaptive tutoring or
instructional assistants that can help explain difficult concepts to
students. AI-based feedback systems can offer constructive
critiques on student writing, which can help students fine-tune
their writing skills. Some research also suggests certain kinds of
prompts can help children generate more fruitful questions about
learning. AI models might also support customized learning for
students with disabilities and provide translation for English
language learners; and teaching assistants: AI might tackle some
of the administrative tasks that keep teachers from investing more
time with their peers or students. Early uses include automated
routine tasks such as drafting lesson plans, creating differentiated
materials, designing worksheets, developing quizzes, and
exploring ways of explaining complicated academic materials. AI
can also provide educators with recommendations to meet
student needs and help teachers reflect, plan, and improve their
practice.
Along with these potential benefits come some difficult
challenges and risks the education community must navigate. For
example, both teachers and students face the risk of becoming
overly reliant on AI-driven technology. For students, this could
stifle learning, especially the development of critical thinking. This
challenge extends to educators as well. While AI can expedite
lesson-plan generation, speed does not equate to quality.
Teachers may be tempted to accept the initial AI-generated
content rather than devote time to reviewing and refining it for
optimal educational value.
In light of these challenges, the Department of Education has
stressed the importance of keeping “humans in the loop” when
using AI, particularly when the output might be used to inform a
decision. As the department encouraged in its 2023 report,
teachers, learners, and others need to retain their agency. AI
cannot “replace a teacher, a guardian, or an education leader as
the custodian of their students’ learning,” the report stressed.

2024 first year to pass 1.5C global warming limit
By Mark Poynting, Erwan Rivault and Becky Dale
Global warming is nearing a critical point, as 2024
became the first calendar year with an average temperature
of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, according to The
European Copernicus Climate Service.
While it doesn’t mean the Paris Agreement target
of keeping the long-term average below 1.5°C has
been breached, it highlights how close we are to
exceeding it. The rise in global temperatures is primarily
caused by fossil fuel emissions, which continue to increase
despite international agreements.
Climate scientist Ella Gilbert emphasized
the devastating effects of global warming, pointing to
events like the Los Angeles wildfires and the floods in
Valencia. These disasters are a clear example of extreme
weather becoming more frequent and dangerous.
However, she stressed it was not too late to act.
Every reduction in emissions and degree of warming can
significantly decrease the impact of future disasters.
Action must come from governments, businesses, and
individuals alike.

“A few light taps upon the pane made him turn to the window. It had begun to snow again. He watched sleepily the flakes, silver and dark, falling obliquely against the lamplight. The time had come for him to set out on his journey westward. Yes, the newspapers were right: snow was general all over Ireland. It was falling on every part of the dark central plain, on the treeless hills, falling softly upon the Bog of Allen and, farther westward, softly falling into the dark mutinous Shannon waves. It was falling, too, upon every part of the lonely churchyard on the hill where Michael Furey lay buried. It lay thickly drifted on the crooked crosses and headstones, on the spears of the little gate, on the barren thorns. His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.”

The small exercise that's a powerful mood booster
Counting our blessings is an age-old piece of advice –
but it turns out that writing lists of good things that
happen to us actually does help improve our mood.
Of all the interventions brought to us by psychological
research, I think this is probably my favourite. It's both
simple and well-evidenced. And as such, it has become
well-known.
There are various names for it – three good things, three
blessings or a gratitude list. There are variations too in
the exact instructions given, but essentially the exercise
involves spending a few moments in the evening
reflecting on your day, then writing down three things
that went well or that you enjoyed. The final element is
to think about why these things felt positive to you. You
can choose anything, however small and seemingly
inconsequential. Perhaps you bumped into a friend you
hadn’t seen for a while? Perhaps you and a colleague
laughed about something together. Perhaps you
enjoyed your walk home from the station in lovely early
evening light.
Alternatively, you could include something much more
significant, perhaps even life-changing. Like passing an
important exam, or getting a promotion, or hearing that
a relative is going to have a baby.
Counting your blessings is of course a very old idea, and
exercises of this kind had been used clinically for some
time. The initial research investigating whether any of us
might use this method in everyday life to improve our
wellbeing was published in 2005 by Martin Seligman
and Chris Peterson, two major figures in the field of
positive psychology.
The study involved 577 people who were randomly
assigned to different groups. As a placebo, one group
had to write every evening about their early memories
from childhood. Other groups were given different
interventions to try out. In the arm of the trial that
interests us, people were asked to list three things that
had gone well that day and what caused them to go well.
Over the next few months, the volunteers in all the
groups were given scales to measure their happiness.
The results were impressive. Notably, within a month,
the people who were assigned the three good things
task began to show improvements in their happiness
levels as well as a decrease in depressive symptoms –
with the positive effects lasting for the six months of the
study.
Meanwhile those in the placebo group saw a brief spike
in happiness in the first week, but their mood soon
returned to baseline, and there was no change at the six
month follow up.
One reason that the three good things strategy can work
is because it begins to counter the hard-wired tendency
we have as humans to register and remember the
negative rather than the positive. There's a strong
evolutionary reason why we think this way: it's vital for
our survival. So, we hardly notice if a small cat is
following us up the street, but if it was a lion we certainly
would. Our brains are primed for danger in order to
keep us safe. Which is fine, except that in a world of war
and suffering, hatred and division – all of which we can instantly access on our phones – this negativity bias can
overwhelm us.
An important element of the three good things exercise
is that it helps us to focus on the positive in a concrete
way. And although I've been suggesting it's an end-ofthe-day exercise, its real strength lies in the fact that the
impact soon begins to spread through the day. You find
yourself searching out good things to add to your list
from the moment you get up. (Whenever I get my
favourite seat at the front of the top deck of the bus I
think to myself, that's one for my list. How lucky!) And
before you know it you are training yourself not only to
look out for threats, but for good things too.

OpenAI’s GPT-4 Scores in the Top 1% of Creative Thinking
By Erik Guzik
Of all the forms of human intellect that one might expect
artificial intelligence to emulate, few people would likely place
creativity at the top of their list. Creativity is wonderfully
mysterious—and frustratingly fleeting. It defines us as human
beings—and seemingly defies the cold logic that lies behind the
silicon curtain of machines. Yet, the use of AI for creative
endeavors is now growing.
New AI tools like DALL-E and Midjourney are increasingly part
of creative production, and some have started to win awards for
their creative output. The growing impact is both social and
economic—as just one example, the potential of AI to generate
new, creative content is a defining flashpoint behind the
Hollywood writers’ strike.
And if our recent study into the striking originality of AI is any
indication, the emergence of AI-based creativity—along with
examples of both its promise and peril—is likely just beginning.
When people are at their most creative, they’re responding
to a need, goal, or problem by generating something new—a
product or solution that didn’t previously exist.
In this sense, creativity is an act of combining existing
resources — ideas, materials, knowledge — in a novel way that’s
useful or gratifying. Quite often, the result of creative thinking is
also surprising, leading to something the creator did not — and
perhaps could not — foresee.
Our results?
GPT-4 scored in the top 1 percent of test-takers for the
originality of its ideas. From our research, we believe this marks
one of the first examples of AI meeting or exceeding the human
ability for original thinking.
In short, we believe that AI models like GPT-4 are capable of
producing ideas that people see as unexpected, novel, and
unique. Other researchers are arriving at similar conclusions in
their research of AI and creativity.

Cybersecurity risk: time for auditors to take heed?
The global interest in cybersecurity is growing. As we move
into the cyber age, technology has become a huge part of both
our everyday lives and today’s business environment, as more
and more businesses increase their online presence and digital
exposure by leveraging technology for almost every aspect of
their business. But just as technology presents opportunities to
many businesses, it also presents threats and challenges. Over
the years, cyber attacks have continued to occur, escalating in
frequency, severity and impact. These incidents have impacted
every industry from financial services to retailers, entertainment
and healthcare providers.
[…]
Perhaps due to its constantly evolving nature, cybersecurity
risk remains complex and abstract to many. There may also be a
perception that cybersecurity risk is not relevant to small
businesses, hence, cybersecurity risk may not have been
considered and addressed in all financial statements audits. But
let us think about this: risk assessment is a crucial part of audit
planning and auditors are required under the auditing standards
to obtain an understanding of business risks that may result in
risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. Just as
auditors would consider an entity’s business risks in a financial
statements audit, cybersecurity risk is an equally important risk
area that cannot be ignored. Perhaps even more so, given the
broad extent to which cyber attacks can cause fundamental enterprise-wide damage to organisations, and for some attacks,
even a huge impact to the financial statements. Cybersecurity risk
is hence an essential consideration in any financial statements
audit.

For decades, it seemed that the purpose of our education system was to
encourage competition. Schools would award prizes to the most talented
student and proudly display their names on bulletin boards. Nowadays, in
many institutions, the key word has become "inclusion": no one should be left
behind. Resources are channeled into helping the east capable; everyone's
work (good or bad) is on the walls; and prize tables are heavily loaded with
awards to make sure everyone is awarded a prize for something. Which
approach is right?
Attempts to make education more inclusive are frequently criticized. Many
point out that once students leave the protective environment of the
classroom, they will face the challenges of the working world: what use will
false reassurance be then? The purpose of school must be to reveal to
people their limitations, so that they can find a vocation that suits them.
In the past, allowing the talented to rise to the top through competition would
certainly have been important. In most factories, it was useful to separate the
potential managers from the unskilled workforce, and companies relied on
finding talented individuals to win business before their competitors did. An
ethos of competition also helped countries to compete effectively with other
nations as they scrambled for territory, raced to accumulate armaments or
even traveled into space ahead of rivals.
But in the 21st century, are we really preparing young people for a world of
competition? The academic James F. Moore argues that the days when
businesses competed with each other are ending. Moore believes we should
talk of "business ecosystems" nowadays. International corporations operate
in global networks of suppliers and partners. Sometimes; even rival
corporations work together. For example: companies often have to
collaborate to define common industry standards.
What's more, hierarchies are disappearing within organizations. Modern
companies have a wider range of business functions (public relations, IT,
research and development), and so skills. Knowledge and decision-making
are spread throughout the organization. In a modern marketing department
alone, there are teams for collecting and analyzing a wealth of customer data,
designing brands, advertising, etc. Each individual contributes vital skills and
must receive equal training. Low-skilled work, by comparison, is increasingly
being performed by automated labor; that is, robots.
But it isn't just in businesses that cooperation is becoming the norm. In the
past, individuals, colleges, governments, and companies didn't have to
collaborate. Now', 'collective impact" is becoming the gold standard. For
example, an anti-obesity project called "Shape Up Somerville" managed to
significantly bring down the average BMI (body mass index) in the town in
just three years, by involving schools, colleges, local businesses, charities,
government, and local citizens in a program of collective action. Led by
academics, and funded by four agencies. The work involved designing
school lunch menus, improving walkways, introducing gym membership
packages, and running campaigns amongst the public.
Competition can still be useful. It's stimulating and can help us learn about
ourselves. But it should not become a dominant feature of education
systems. Those who do not receive investment will find it increasingly hard to
fit into the modern world. It really is learning to take part that counts.

Rising sea levels could severely disrupt crude oil
shipments and erode energy security in import-dependent
countries like China, South Korea and Japan, with many of the
world’s biggest terminals vulnerable to flooding, researchers
said on Tuesday.
Melting ice and swelling seas caused by rising
temperatures could “unleash unstoppable multi-metre sea
level rise which will not only sink key oil ports and disrupt
global oil trade but also swamp coastal refineries and
petrochemical facilities”, the China Water Risk (CWR) think
tank warned in a report.
A 2021 report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change estimated that on current trends, average sea levels
could rise by more than a metre by the end of the century,
adding that a two-metre rise could not be ruled out.

Read the short story below and answer the following question:
The thirsty Crow
On a summer afternoon, a crow felt thirsty. It looked here and there but could not find a single drop of water. After a long time, it found a pitcher. There were few drops of water inside this. But the crow could not reach that water. It started to feel more thirsty. The crow again looked at its surroundings and found some pebbles nearby. So it took the pebbles one by one and started to drop them inside the pitcher. Then the water level started to increase.
