On September 12 2024, Sam Altman, Chief Executive Officer of OpenAI, participated in a fireside chat for University of Michigans students, faculty and staff. The ChatGPT developer head spoke about the future of AI and its implications for education, as well as the challenges and opportunities presented by rapid technological advancements. Altman also shared insights into OpenAI’s new reasoning model, Strawberry, a model he describes as capable of complex reasoning and problem-solving.

“You all are going to create things that astonish us. The story of human history is that we build better tools, and then people do even more amazing stuff with them, and they themselves, you know, add their layer of scaffolding. And we’re on this steadily increasing curve of possibility.”

It’s been two years since ChatGTP made its public debut, and in no sector has its impact been more dramatic and detrimental than in education.

How AI is shaping the future of education.

A team of physics educators from Italy, Hungary, Slovenia and Germany is focusing on a new approach to teaching quantum physics in schools. Traditional classroom teaching has tended to focus on presenting the history of the origins of quantum physics, which often poses problems for learners.

Using the quantum measurement process as an example, the researchers have now published their first empirical findings on learning quantum physics —based on two-state systems—in Physical Review Physics Education Research.

The researchers, including physics education specialist Professor Philipp Bitzenbauer from Leipzig University, concentrate on what are known as qubits. These are two-state systems, the simplest and at the same time most important quantum systems that can be used to describe many situations. Controlling and manipulating these qubits plays a central role in modern quantum technologies.

MIT has been developing a small fusion reactor prototype, three of which could power the City of Boston if they were fully built. Though the project lost federal funding for its current fusion device, the school plans to press ahead on building a new, more advanced prototype.
