Published: December 24, 2024 6.50am CET Michael Timothy Bennett, Australian National University, Elija Perrier, Stanford University A new artificial intelligence (AI) model has just achieved human-level results on a test designed to measure "general intelligence". On December 20, OpenAI's o3 system scored 85% on the ARC-AGI benchmark, well above the previous AI best score of 55% and on par with the average human score. It also scored well on a very difficult mathematics test.

"This study investigates how cognitive, affective, and behavioral variables related to artificial intelligence (AI) build AI self-efficacy among university students. Based on these variables, we identify three meaningful student groups, which can guide educational initiatives. We recruited 1465 undergraduate and graduate students from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany and measured their AI self-efficacy, AI literacy, interest in AI, attitudes towards AI, and AI use. Using a path model, we examine the correlations and paths among these variables. Results reveal that AI usage and positive AI attitudes significantly predict interest in AI, which in turn and together with AI literacy, enhance AI self-efficacy."

aTrain is a tool for automatically transcribing speech recordings utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning models without uploading any data to the internet. It was developed by researchers at the Business Analytics and Data Science-Center at the University of Graz and tested by researchers from the Know-Center Graz.

Given the vast development of technological applications, education cannot ignore the use of technology in preparing students for participation in society. Technology use in education has become both a goal and a tool, implying that teachers need to be able to use technology as an effective tool in their teaching and students need to learn how to use technology appropriately in their day-to-day lives.
