AI tools should be used to help students get started, not to substitute critical thinking The following text, compiled by Wojciech Siemiaczko from the Malta Chamber of Scientists, was generated by ChatGBT in response to the command: “Write a long text including real quotes of experts, explaining AI tools and raising a concern about students using AI tools to write their essays.” Although the text is not perfect, since it overuses certain phrases and contains fake quotes, it could definitely pass off as an article written by a human. Is it a concern for the future of writers? As technology advances, so does the temptation for students to use AI tools to write their essays. While these tools can be helpful in providing students with a starting point, experts are raising concerns about the potential for students to rely too heavily on them. “AI tools can be a great resource for students, but they should not be used as a crutch,” says John Smith, professor of English at the University of California. “Students should be encouraged to think critically and develop their own ideas, not just copy and paste from an AI-generated essay.” Jane Doe, professor of Computer Science […]

Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger is now two years into his turnaround efforts, and investors should start seeing tangible results within a year or two. Computer processors giant Intel has been hanging out in Wall Street’s bargain bin for quite a while. Archrival Advanced Micro Devices is stealing market share in key markets, and Intel’s attempts to gain a foothold in mobile devices never gained traction. The last few leadership teams have not been up to the task of managing Intel’s formerly dominant market position — but it’s under new management now. Current CEO Pat Gelsinger is an engineer at heart, with decades of processor design experience. He has a deep understanding of what it takes to produce successful chips in Intel’s target markets, his leadership style earns industry-leading reviews from Intel’s workers and the company’s culture is turning back to rewarding innovation. Ironing out kinks in the design and production process that earlier teams left behind is taking some time due to the semiconductor industry’s lengthy development pipelines and costly chip-making machinery. Gelsinger is now two years into his turnaround efforts, and investors should start seeing tangible results within a year or two. Meanwhile, on multiple valuation measures, Intel’s […]

FREEPIK By Patricia B. Mirasol, Reporter THE coffee industry said it expects to benefit from the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) Agreement, standing apart from the rest of the agriculture sector, which has raised the loudest objections against the trade deal. The ASEAN Free Trade Agreement (AFTA) already allows all Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) coffees to come in and out freely, Pacita U. Juan, vice-president of the non-profit ASEAN Coffee Federation, said. “RCEP for coffee adds Japan, Korea, and China (to the mix),” she said in a Feb. 3 Zoom call. AFTA was a stress test for the coffee industry, Ms. Juan added: “If it were to shake up the coffee industry, it should have shaken it up already.” RCEP will help farmers if the Philippine coffee industry avoids commodification and works out a way to promote its beans as products with distinctive origins, according to Ariestelo A. Asilo, a social entrepreneur and co-founder of Varacco, Inc., a food and beverage company. “This free trade agreement will benefit farmers — as long as we strengthen our geographical markers of coffee and rice,” he said, referring to geographical indications (GI) system. “In other countries they have chocolates, ours […]

CHICAGO (WLS) — As we celebrate Black History Month we are recognizing the many ways we can support black communities and businesses. That includes online, via company websites, social media and other digital spaces. Social media expert Terrence Chappell joined ABC7 to break down the many ways to support Black content creators, beyond just Black History Month. Consumers: Find, follow, and friend: It sounds simple, but the visibility and robust social following sets up a content creator for success for more formal contracts. If a Black content creator’s content resonates with you, show them some social media love with a find, follow, love, or friend. Consumers/fellow content creators: Pass the mic. This is great to help micro influencers gain more traction and reach new audiences. If you’re a consumer or an influencer with a high social media following, invite fellow Black content creators to take over your Instagram handle to share their content and story. Engage Black content creators in formal contracts and ensure that their pay is on par with their white counterparts and is right-sized to the value they bring. Don’t oblige Black creators to change their content: Aim to seamlessly weave your business goals around their […]

Crowdsource Innovation Digitalization is fundamental to facing the world’s biggest challenges, which depend on connectivity and digital skills, yet, connectivity inequality still exists. Among other key factors, digitalization can increase national resilience by bridging the digital divide for better economic growth and social inclusion. A paradigm shift in connectivity is taking place, evident through the rapid scaling of 5G, forecasted to reach 5 billion by the end of 2028, according to the latest Ericsson Mobility Report . Ericsson was founded on the premise that communication is a basic human need. Yet, today’s biggest inequality may be between the connected and unconnected. While we need to harness the power of digitalization to face a series of fundamental challenges – economic slowdowns, energy crises and a changing climate – connectivity is a foundation for digitalization, as are the skills to use digital tools.
