Ohio State University going all in on AI to build ‘intuition': Provost
The 'AI Fluency Initiative' will be required of all students at the school. The hope is that the program will help students become bilingual, meaning fluent in their major field of study and applying AI in that area.
'We've been using all sorts of tools to augment learning, augment our understanding of the world,' said Bellamkonda. 'There's no question we live in a data-rich world now, from politics, to news, to manufacturing, to medicine, to all these fields of study and interest for our students. We have lots and lots of data. And the power of AI is to synthesize that data and make meaning out of it.'
Regulating AI for ten years in 'big, beautiful bill' no help: Tech expert
Pew Research Center said that in 2024, teens reported using AI twice as much as they did the year before. Over half say they think it's okay to use AI for research, while nearly 30% acknowledge it's acceptable to use AI for math problems. Less than 20% added that it's okay to use AI to write an essay.
'We really want to build intuition, judgment, and ethical understanding,' Bellamkonda said. 'When is it appropriate? When is it not appropriate? When is it hallucinating? When is it not? And we feel like having that conversation in the classroom with a professor in the context of the subject they are learning is really important for us.'
High school students create AI-detecting app to help teachers
Apple says it has a new research paper out that says artificial intelligence might not be as intelligent as some want it to be.
The company's new research paper claims that so-called 'large reasoning models' and 'large language models' such as ChatGPT give up when trying to solve complex problems. Their researchers say this is proof of limited capabilities that keep artificial intelligence from reasoning the way you or I do.
'We had the same fear, if you remember, when we had calculators,' added Bellamkonda. 'We were afraid that people would store formulas in there and not really understand. That's the challenge we have as educators now is to still make sure that our students have a deep understanding of the subject and they're not just letting AI do all the thinking.'
How AI is shaping industries across the US
Bloomberg also reported that Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, is seeking a team to build an AI that could reason on the same level as a human. He wants to hire around 50 people for the project. This comes after Meta delayed the release of a big new artificial intelligence model last month over concerns it wasn't good enough.
In addition, St. Petersburg, Florida, is installing AI or so-called 'smart signals' that can connect with tech in some newer vehicles. That tech can alert the driver about upcoming hazards and traffic conditions, such as flooding or a pedestrian in the area. The city is looking to invest more than $1 million in the project.

Navatar Unveils AI-Powered CRM That Meets M&A Advisors Where They Work From Outlook to Slack to CRM: Investment Banking's First Truly Embedded Intelligence Platform For Salesforce
Leveraging Salesforce's Agentforce and Microsoft Copilot, Navatar Automates Data Entry and Turns Activity into AI-Driven Intelligence LONDON and NEW YORK, Aug. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Navatar, the leading platform for private markets, today announced the launch of its next-generation, fully AI-powered CRM purpose-built for M&A advisory firms.

As a result, most of the useful intelligence remains trapped in inboxes, documents and individual banker memory. Navatar solves this by automatically capturing and structuring activity from emails, call notes, LinkedIn, Slack, documents, public domain and third-party data—including relevant benchmarks, market comps, and triggers from the public internet—turning your team's daily activity into structured, usable intelligence for AI to operate on—turning your team's daily activity into structured, usable intelligence for AI to operate on.

‘History Doesn't Favor the Bulls,' Says Top Investor About Palantir Stock
Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR) stock has been on a tear – no secret there – with shares up nearly 450% over the past year. But the surge reflects more than just AI hype: revenues are rising quickly, new clients keep joining, and management has consistently raised its outlook. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. In fact, the company recently crossed the $1 billion quarterly revenue milestone for the first time. While Palantir built its reputation on U.S. government security contracts, its latest results show momentum is spreading beyond that niche. U.S. commercial revenue jumped 93% year-over-year – clear evidence that businesses across the economy are finding enormous value in Palantir's expanding suite of AI tools. And Palantir doesn't seem to be taking its foot off the gas pedal. The company raised its Q3 revenue guidance to $1.087 billion, which would represent 50% year-over-year revenue growth. The biggest – and perhaps, only – knock against the company is its sky-high valuation. Seizing on this concern, top investor Julian Lin offers a word of caution. 'Despite stellar performance, I believe PLTR stock's valuation is in bubble territory, far exceeding historical tech bubbles,' explains the 5-star investor, who is among the top 1% of TipRanks' stock pros. There's one particular historical example that Lin mentions, which could cause PLTR bulls to start sweating. That would be Cisco, which was trading at 30x sales before it came crashing down during the 2000 stock bubble. PLTR was recently trading as high as 100x sales, reminds the investor. 'History has proven time and time again that valuations always end up mattering,' emphasizes Lin. As great as the company has been performing, Lin points out that PLTR's share price is already pricing in years of future growth. While this has arguably been the case for much of the past year, eventually the investor believes the bubble will pop. This will especially be the case when some negative catalysts enter the picture, which could come in the form of higher inflation or AI-related job losses. This could cause a massive re-rating for PLTR, which Lin suggests could reach a downside of some 80%. For that reason, the investor is getting out of dodge and is urging bulls to reconsider their commitment to PLTR. 'I just know that history does not shine well when valuations reach irrational exuberance. I reiterate my Strong Sell rating for the stock,' concludes Lin. (To watch Julian Lin's track record, click here) How does Wall Street see Palantir? The consensus view is less dramatic but hardly bullish. With 13 Hold ratings, 5 Buys, and 2 Sells, PLTR currently carries a consensus Hold (i.e., Neutral) rating. The Street's average 12-month price target of $154.56 implies ~11% downside from current levels.
