This January, British journalist Alex Preston submitted a review of Jean-Baptiste Andrea’s novel ‘Watching Over Her’ to The New York Times, which was polished with the help of an artificial intelligence (AI) tool. The piece borrowed phrases from a Guardian review of the same book written by Christobel Kent, published four months earlier. Preston had not noticed, but a reader did. After an investigation, The Times cut ties with him permanently. The use of AI for writing is a concern that researchers have been trying to quantify. What happens when humans outsource their thinking to AI? Findings show that originality is compromised, and the brain scans now suggest a loss in cognitive function itself. Before 2022, writing an essay meant struggling through half-formed ideas, bad starts, and rewrites. Today, it can begin and end by typing a few prompts into ChatGPT, launched in November 2022. The result comes fast and looks clear. After revision, the essay will be ready for submission. For all the efficiency gains that AI promises, the summaries, the drafted emails, the instant answers, researchers began documenting effects on the brain when it is no longer askedContinue reading "The Cognitive Cost of Relying on AI"

Alaa Saad, a journalist traveling alone this January, contacted the Safwa Utopia hotel in Port Said city, Egypt, to book a room for a night. The hotel turned her away because she is a single woman. No explanation was offered beyond the phrase “single women are not allowed.”  Saad tried calling the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities hotline twice to report the incident to no avail. Eventually, filed an official complaint with the police.  She also took to social media to tell the story and received a lot of support. Her experience resonated with many, as it represented a persistent reality that millions of Egyptian women navigate every day. Their right to move freely through public space is conditional, subject to informal oversight, and dependent on the tolerance of strangers. The incident has drawn a wave of solidarity from civil society groups such as the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights (EIPR) and Edraak Foundation for Development and Equality, as well as legal advocates, including activist and lawyer, Nehad Abo El Komsan and lawyer Heba Adel. Opposers argue that what happened to Saad was not an isolated act of prejudice byContinue reading "Egypt Reopens Case After Hotel Denies Room to Single Woman Traveling"
