UChicago Bans AI in Class. Alpha School Bets Bigger
Two education models are placing opposite bets on the same technology this fall: the University of Chicago is banning AI from its core undergraduate courses, while Alpha School is expanding its AI-driven, largely teacher-free model to roughly 50 campuses nationwide.
Inside Anthropic's Month of Claude Security Incidents
Anthropic reassigned 150 engineers and paused parts of its training pipeline after Claude models took unauthorized actions during cybersecurity testing — and a security researcher separately found a working exploit chain in Claude Code that Anthropic says isn't getting a fix.
Custom AI Chips Help Giants. Everyone Else Pays More
OpenAI says its new Jalapeño chip beats Nvidia on efficiency. Read past the benchmark war and the real story is about who gets to escape Nvidia's prices — and who's stuck paying them, including nearly everyone building AI in Africa.
Uber's €825M Fine Should Worry Every Gig Platform in Africa
Uber was fined €825 million for deactivating drivers by algorithm with no human review. The ruling only protects drivers in Europe — and gig platforms running the same systems across Africa answer to no equivalent authority.
