Realizing AI can make us dumber. So what now?
technology life and society about 1 hour ago Wall Street Journal tech reporter Sam Schechner says he first suspected artificial intelligence was eating his brain when he used ChatGPT to help write an email to his son's basketball coach. He lives in Paris, and speaks fluent French, but Schechner started asking AI for help with emails, summarizing legal documents, even texting friends. Soon French words didn't come as easily when effort was optional and mental concentration was offloaded to AI. He writes about his experience in a piece for The Wall Street Journal titled How I Realized AI Was Making Me Stupid-and What I Do Now.

Co-operative Bank replacing banking system as it looks to take on big four
The Co-operative Bank in Wellington. Photo: RNZ / Alexander Robertson The highly rated but small Co-operative Bank is replacing its banking system as it looks to scale up and take on the big four. The bank said the replacement of the system would happen over the next three years, with the cost in the tens of millions, although it would not be drawn to an exact figure. The bank, often highly rated in consumer surveys, said replacing the bank's core technology platform would help it innovate faster and introduce more digital features to its more than 180,000 customers. It chose UK-based 10x Banking to lead the replacement of the system. The Co-op Bank's chief executive Mark Wilkshire said the investment in a modern, cloud-based system would put it ahead of its competition, and allow it to grow. "It gives us the ability to scale up with good infrastructure and good systems to do that," Wilkshire said. "And that is our opportunity - to convert that market leading customer preference that we've got... be able to scale up and turn that into growth." Wilkshire said the investment had been part of its long-term planning. "Banks around the world are grappling with how to replace legacy systems," he said. "As a small New Zealand bank, we have the advantage of being nimble and we're aiming to implement the latest core banking technology over the next three years." The bank said the new platform would allow it to simplify its product offering, and respond faster to customer needs. "Our current system has served us well, but banking is changing fast," Wilkshire said.

Dire need for AI support in primary, intermediate schools survey shows
A NZ Council for Education Research survey of teachers and students found that there was "a dire need" for guidance on best practice for AI in schools. Photo: UnSplash/ Taylor Flowe Primary school children say using AI sometimes feels like cheating and teachers warn their "Luddite" colleagues are "freaking out" about the technology. The insights come from an NZ Council for Education Research survey that warns primary and intermediate schools need urgent support for using Artificial Intelligence in the classroom. The council said its survey of 266 teachers and 147 pupils showed "a dire need" for guidance on best practice. It found teachers were experimenting with generative AI tools such as ChatGPT for tasks like lesson planning and personalising learning materials to match children's interests and skills, and many of their students were using it too though generally at home rather than in the classroom. But the survey of teachers and also found most primary schools did not have AI policies. "Teachers often don't have the appropriate training, they are often using the free models that are more prone to error and bias, and there is a dire need for guidance on best practice for using AI in the primary classroom," report author David Coblentz said. Coblentz said schools needed national guidance and students needed lessons in critical literacy so they understood the tools they were using and their in-built biases. He said in the meantime schools could immediately improve the quality of AI use and teacher and student privacy by avoiding free AI tools and using more reliable AI. The report said most of the teachers who responded to the survey said they had noted mistakes in AI-generated information. Most believed less than a third of their pupils, or none at all, were using AI for learning but 66 percent were worried their students might become too reliant on the technology. Most of the mostly Year 7-8 students surveyed in four schools had heard of AI, and less than half said they had never used it. Those who did use AI mostly did so outside of school. "Between one-eighth and one-half of users at each school said they asked AI to answer questions "for school or fun" (12%-50%). Checking or fixing writing attracted moderate proportions everywhere (29%-45%). Smaller proportions used AI for idea generation on projects or homework (6%-32%) and for gaming assistance (12%-41%). Talking to AI "like a friend" showed wide variation, from one in eight (12%) at Case A to nearly half (47%) at the all-girls' Case D," the survey report said. Across the four schools, between 55 and 72 percent agreed "Using AI sometimes feels like cheating" and between 38 and 74 percent agreed "Using AI too much can make it hard for kids to learn on their own". Roughly a quarter said they were better at using AI tools than the grown-ups they knew.
