Washington, D.C. — In what might be one of the most ambitious educational investments of the AI age, Google has committed $1 billion to train university students across the U.S. in the field of artificial intelligence.

There’s something oddly nerve-wracking about running your work through an AI and plagiarism detector. It’s a bit like going through airport security—most of the time, you know you’re fine, but you still feel like the scanner might beep and everyone will turn to look.

Illustrious consulting firm McKinsey is staring down the barrel of AI. All those highly-paid suits are at risk as AI agents, AI models designed to autonomously carry out certain tasks, promise to do what they do with instant results — and without six-figure salary demands. “Do I think that this is existential for our profession?

A man with cognitive impairments died after a Meta chatbot he was romantically involved with over Instagram messages asked to meet him in person. As Reuters reports, Thongbue Wongbandue — or “Bue,” as he was known to family and friends — was a 76-year-old former chef living in New Jersey who had struggled with cognitive
