Anthropic and OpenAI agents went rogue — again

AI RESEARCHThe Rundown: A three-year Kogod School of Business survey found that more than 80% of students now use AI for coursework, with the share of students questioned about AI skills nearly quadrupling over the study period. Concerns linger even so, with “cognitive devaluation” being the top worry, as 43.5% of the students admitted using AI as a shortcut rather than a real aid. Students using AI eight or more times a week rose from 13% to 39% over three years, with ChatGPT being the favorite, while those not using it fell to 4.3%. Why it matters: It’s a small sample (483 students at one school), but the trend is real. Students are pushing AI’s use in academics, and employers now expect that ability in the workplace, yet many still want to be taught how to lean on it without dulling their own thinking — a harder ask for schools than a blanket ban or green light.
