Scientists can’t stop using AI, even when forbidden from doing so | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Banning researchers from using AI to assess the merits of scientific papers doesn’t make much difference to the conclusions the reviewers reach – in large part because many of them ignore the prohibition and use AI anyway. A team led by computer scientists at Microsoft Research ran a large randomised experiment during the 2026 International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML), one of the world’s biggest AI conferences, which took place in Seoul, South Korea in July. Some 24,661 papers were sub
Mathematician discovers rare eight-faced shape | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A scientist has discovered a strange new eight-faced shape in which every face touches every other face, using a set of simple integer coordinates. Mathematicians can define abstract patterns, describing which vertices, edges and faces should connect. But working out whether those rules can actually be turned into an object in three-dimensional space, without parts intersecting where they shouldn’t, can be extremely difficult. Ruslan Mizhaev, an independent researcher and design engineer, has pr
Test moderators use AI-generated writing to judge literacy standards | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The UK Department for Education (DfE) is testing the use of AI to produce writing samples used in the assessment of pupils’ literacy standards as they move between primary and secondary school, claiming it cuts annual costs by 95 per cent. Around 2000 moderators are asked to check the standard of pupils’ writing at the end of key stage 2 (KS2), a critical moment in a child’s educational pathway in England and Wales. To ensure that grades given by teachers are standardised, the moderators cross-c
China is trying to regulate relationships with AI – can it work? | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
China has begun regulating interactions with artificial intelligence in an attempt to protect its citizens from overreliance and exploitation. While many countries have been looking at rules around harmful content, China is the first to go a step further in legislating what kind of relationships with AI are permissible. The new rules came into force this month and cover AI systems designed for sustained, human-like emotional interaction, while excluding customer-service bots and productivity ass
