In a medical school basic science course, researchers deployed a retrieval-augmented teaching assistant that limited large language model outputs to instructor-curated materials across two consecutive cohorts. They tracked when and how students used it and what they asked, finding strategic, context-dependent adoption with heavier use during high-stakes assessments and after hours.
In August 2026, The Guardian reported intensifying US opposition to AI datacentres driven by electricity costs and environmental impacts.
