Is AI generating more questions than answers?

By Estelle Anderson | December 4

Everyone at Tufts seems to have a metaphor for AI. One professor compared humans who religiously use ChatGPT to ‘barnacles eating their own brains.’ Another described AI as a “billion-dimensional glider,” an aircraft that transports people through new realms of discovery and innovation. Yet another envisioned it as a “fairy,” ready at a moment’s notice to wave its wand and solve students’ problems.

What’s up with the campus pub?

By Shannon Murphy | December 4

The counter that serves vanilla lattes and chocolate croissants by day is now a fully stocked bar serving alcoholic beverages to those 21 and older. The café’s glamorous alter ego that only comes out to play once a week from 5–9 p.m. is here: the Pop-Up Pub.
