AI e università (post da LinkedIn)

by J.C. DE MARTIN

*Ben Williamson* University of Edinburgh https://codeactsineducation.wordpress.com/ 3 April 2025 https://www.linkedin.com/posts/ben-williamson-7a501b329_openai-and-anthropi… /OpenAI and Anthropic are competing for their share of the education market. They both released "free" AI offerings targeted at students this week, but don't let the "free" bit fool you. The important two sentences in this piece are the last two: "Both labs releasing education initiatives simultaneously reveals the high value of college students. The race to embed AI tools in academia is a competition to shape how the next generation works with AI — and crucially, to become their default AI tool." The purpose of education and going to college is not to habituate students to genAI or get them locked in to an AI vendor because students are "valuable" as users and prospective customers. It's worrying how willingly academia is falling for this brand of corporate "AI literacy" being sold by big tech as "free"./ https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/641193/openai-anthropic…

[Responsible AI Talk] The Moral Circle, Jeff Sebo, NYU

by Daniele Quercia

The Moral Circle: Insects, AI systems, and other beings who might matter Jeff Sebo, NYU Join the meeting<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_YTVmMGI1ZGItN2U5OS00…> Which nonhumans matter, how much do they matter, and what do we owe them in a world reshaped by human activity? In this talk (based on a multi-author report that you can find here), I argue that humanity should include all potentially significant beings in our moral community -- including, at minimum, all vertebrates, many invertebrates, and some near-future AI systems -- with transformative implications for our lives and societies. I then examine a variety of questions that humanity will confront regarding creation ethics and population ethics. For example, should we accept the “rebugnant conclusion” that large groups of small beings matter more than small groups of large beings? Either way, what follows for our policies and priorities, at present and in the future? Jeff Sebo is an associate professor of environmental studies at New York University. He works primarily on moral philosophy, legal philosophy, and philosophy of mind; animal minds, ethics, and policy; AI minds, ethics, and policy; global health and climate ethics and policy; and global priorities research. He is author of The Moral Circle (2025) and Saving Animals, Saving Ourselves (2022) and co-author of Chimpanzee Rights (2018) and Food, Animals, and the Environment (2018).

PROOF OR BLUFF? EVALUATING LLMS ON 2025 USA MATH OLYMPIAD

by Daniela Tafani

Recent math benchmarks for large language models (LLMs) such as MathArena indicate that state-of-the-art reasoning models achieve impressive performance on mathematical competitions like AIME, with the leading model, O3-MINI, achieving scores comparable to top human competitors. However, these benchmarks evaluate models solely based on final numerical answers, neglecting rigorous reasoning and proof generation which are essential for real-world mathematical tasks. To address this, we introduce the first comprehensive evaluation of full-solution reasoning for challenging mathematical problems. Using expert human annotators, we evaluated several state-of-the-art reasoning models on the six problems from the 2025 USAMO within hours of their release. Our results reveal that all tested models struggled significantly, achieving less than 5% on average. <https://arxiv.org/pdf/2503.21934v1>

What If the US Cut Internet Access to Europe?

by Marco Fioretti

Il mio ultimo pezzo per FOSS Force: https://fossforce.com/2025/04/what-if-the-us-cut-internet-access-to-europe/ con una richiesta/invito: mi stanno gia' segnalando in altri forum effetti negativi o positivi che ho dimenticato o non ho inserito per non allungare troppo il pezzo, primo fra tutti l'impatto sulle PA che usano Microsoft 365 e simili. Grazie in anticipo a chi vorra' suggerirne altri! Marco
