AI submissions are avoiding detection at a well-respected university in the UK
As exam results roll in for pupils across the Northern Hemisphere, a study conducted at the University of Reading showed that 94 percent of the AI-generated exam submissions went unnoticed. On average, these artificial responses received higher grades than those from real students. Dr Peter Scarfe who led the study, is on the show.
Wireless monitoring of audience reactions
How can a producer ensure a film’s success - apparently by researching how the audience members react to their production. A brand new facility at Bristol University in the UK will be able to monitor heart rate, blinking and brain activity to see when people become bored whilst watching a film. Professor Iain Gilchrist explains how the tech could also help to improve teaching.
The show is presented by Gareth Mitchell with expert commentary from Ghislaine Boddington.
