Paulina DeVito, 22, has received the award for her groundbreaking work in AI and education. A standout scholar who earned two bachelor’s degrees by 20 and a master’s with a perfect GPA in just one year, DeVito now investigates how generative AI is discussed across social media – especially among young women in STEM. Her research analyzes themes, sentiments, and engagement around hashtags like #WomenInSTEM to inform ethical, AI-based educational tools and policy, spotlighting issues like flawed AI cheating detectors in schools.
Neuromorphic computing, which mimics architecture of brain, could support growing energy demands of AI
Challenging traditional meritocratic models, this research calls for redefining the purpose of education in the age of AI. It argues that systems based on ranking and standardized testing ignore deep social inequalities and are misaligned with a world shaped by artificial intelligence and complexity. Instead, the authors propose an education model rooted in human interdependence—emphasizing collaboration, empathy, and creativity as essential skills for thriving in an interconnected, uncertain, and rapidly evolving global landscape.
Researchers from Nanjing University and UC Berkeley have unveiled a clustering-based reinforcement learning framework that balances novelty and reward to accelerate and enhance AI exploration across robotics, gaming, and real-world applications.
Researchers have developed a self-tuning AI framework that dynamically filters noisy graph data to boost reliability and accuracy across industries from healthcare to finance.
