The Download: how China’s universities approach AI, and the pitfalls of welfare algorithms

Just two years ago, students in China were told to avoid using AI for their assignments. At the time, to get around a national block on ChatGPT, students had to buy a mirror-site version from a secondhand marketplace. Its use was common, but it was at best tolerated and more often frowned upon. Now, professors no longer warn students against using AI. Instead, they’re encouraged to use it—as long as they follow best practices. Just like those in the West, Chinese universities are going throug

200k Flemish drivers can turn traffic lights green

Two years ago, the Flemish Roads Agency (AWV) announced the introduction of the new system: via an app on your smartphone, you can get a traffic light to turn green more quickly. Over the past 2 years, 250 intersections were to be equipped with so-called “intelligent traffic lights”, which would receive a signal as soon as a road user with the app approaches. In that way, motorists - but also cyclists and motorcyclists- will not have to wait unnecessarily at red lights when less traffic is appr

This discovery means there are now five confirmed planets in this solar system’s “temperate” or “habitable” zone, the region in a solar system where liquid water could exist on planets’ surfaces.
