Excited about @nytimes.com article, featuring some of my work about brain-computer interfaces. Today’s print edition described how Linda Kinstler experienced controlling a robot using nothing but her own brain.

Enjoyed my conversation with @helenpearson.bsky.social on the use of AI in the universities.

Today, I’m excited to present the first actionable step towards combating AI slop. The Humans Commons initiative has published a collection of the first-ever licenses designed to designate the result of human work under Human-first licenses, titled AI0. www.humanscommons.org

New data shows the ways millions of people have integrated AI into their everyday lives. Also, it suggests that for now at least, AI is an individual productivity tool — both at work and in our personal lives — rather than the broader workplace disrupter many in Big Tech predicted. on.ft.com/47cKBVN

Global ‘beta’ mode: The massive AI experiment

Just 5 weeks after I talked to the Time magazine's Andrew Chow and mentioned that "I am afraid in 6-8 months, there will be some policymaker who decides, 'let's do GPT kindergarten!", we are now getting news about Baby Grok. This timeline is not the one I desire for our universe.

Loved today’s Guest Opinion Essay published in @nytimes.com, written by @meghanor.bsky.social after her thought experiment with ChatGPT, also mentioning our paper «Your Brain on ChatGPT».

www.nytimes.com/2025/07/18/o... I think this is the best thing I’ve ever read on writing and A.I. by @meghanor.bsky.social Gifted article.

@meghanor.bsky.social article is exceptional, the concerns raised apply just as much to scientific writing. You can use AI to generate ideas, to summarize, to even write your grants & manuscripts...but, ethics aside, do you miss out on 'the pleasure of invention'? www.nytimes.com/2025/07/18/o...

If we fail with Al in education, do other domains even have a chance? Great to see the conversation taking place. We need more studies and more research done to truly understand where humans benefit from Al in the long term.

Also, shoutout to these authors for including a section on energy usage.
