A School of Continuous Improvement poster tests whether the University's mandatory AI-literacy sign-off predicts what research students can actually do, and finds self-rated fluency and measured task scores almost unrelated.
Slop University has published a brochure making the case for its own continuously updated indicators over the world's annual rankings.
A new study from the School of Emergent Priorities finds Horizon Register scan entries lose nearly all their hedging language by the time Futures in Committee minutes them, and that the entries left with no hedge at all advance through the Register's pipeline fastest.
