They don’t just answer questions or write text. Language models like GPT , Claude , and Gemini execute code, analyze data, and even conduct experiments in robotic laboratories. Google has dubbed this idea ” co-scientist” : a virtual assistant capable of designing, planning, and executing complete experiments based on simple instructions in natural language. This technology is already yielding results. In collaboration with universities […] … learn more→

Apparently, the book market in Spain is booming: there have never been so many leisure readers—more than two-thirds of the population—especially among young people . At the same time, the sector’s revenue exceeds €1.2 billion annually , while printed books continue to account for more than 90% of sales . However, these figures don’t tell the whole story. Beneath this apparent […] … learn more→

If you spend any amount of time on LinkedIn, you’ll have certainly come across this type of phrasing: “This isn’t a job, it’s a calling” or “This isn’t marketing, it’s a movement” or “This isn’t a tool, it’s a paradigm shift.” This sentence structure is saturating posts on the platform. It’s become one of the […] … learn more→

In Media and Information Literacy (MIL) courses, the emphasis is ostensibly placed on “critical thinking,” that is, the ability to take a step back from information and form a well-founded opinion. But what about the skill of “informed consumption,” that is, the ability to reflect on one’s consumption, choices, needs, and budgets with full knowledge […] … learn more→

Reading is experiencing a resurgence among Gen Z and millennials, many of whom are actively seeking alternatives to “doomscrolling” and the mental fatigue associated with constant social media use. In North America, an estimated 57 to 61 per cent of Gen Z and millennials identify as readers, averaging 3.5 to 4.5 books per year, with a preference for physical […] … learn more→

Sexual misconduct – including sexual harassment, stalking, intimate partner violence and sexual assault – is a common problem on U.S. college campuses. According to the 2024 Higher Education Sexual Misconduct and Awareness Survey, about 1 in 5 women and transgender or nonbinary undergraduates experienced sexual assault during college. The survey included 180,323 undergraduate, graduate and professional students across […] … learn more→

At some point in the next several months, I am hoping to receive a modest check as a member of the class covered in the class-action settlement Bartz v. Anthropic. In 2025, the artificial intelligence company Anthropic, best known for creating the chatbot Claude, agreed to pay up to US$1.5 billion to thousands of authors after a judge ruled that […] … learn more→

The explosion of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools has provoked both hopes and anxieties about the potential benefits and harms of this technology. In advanced economies, people are almost equally worried and optimistic about it. This is perhaps unsurprising. AI consumes vast amounts of natural resources yet promises to save the planet. It may improve human efficiency and productivity, […] … learn more→

When you ask ChatGPT, Claude, or any other “Chat” a question on any subject, it responds as if it were an omniscient interlocutor. Yet, this language is produced statistically, by integrating the multiplicity of contexts—which allows it to respond appropriately and differently each time, depending on the context of the utterance—by aggregating immense amounts of […] … learn more→

How can we teach the Holocaust and transmit to younger generations the desire to act against forgetting? With literature and work on corpora of testimonies, the historical investigation on the traces of missing persons invites students to combine knowledge and experience, allowing them to forge another link with history, according to the principle of the […] … learn more→
