“Through the ‘Five AI Buckets’ classroom discussions, I gained a deeper knowledge of how AI reshapes various aspects of our daily lives,” a College of Business student said in a survey. “The lessons highlighted AI's incredible capabilities, especially in areas like problem-solving, information retrieval, ideation, summarization, and its potential for social good. These classroom discussions also made me aware of the ethical challenges that arise from the general use of AI, such as biases in algorithms and data privacy concerns.”
The Five AI Buckets include:
Information Retrieval – Using AI tools to collect and assess research, evaluate sources, and verify credibility. Ideation and Creative Inquiry – Generating ideas aligned with global challenges through guided AI prompts. Problem Solving – Engaging with public datasets to make data-informed decisions on real-world issues. Summarization – Analyzing and condensing academic research using AI to identify key insights. AI for Good – Creating personal impact plans and reflecting on how AI can support social progress.
A California attorney must pay a $10,000 fine for filing a state court appeal full of fake quotations generated by the artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT.
The fine appears to be the largest issued over AI fabrications by a California court and came with a blistering opinion stating that 21 of 23 quotes from cases cited in the attorney’s opening brief were made up. It also noted that numerous out-of-state and federal courts have confronted attorneys for citing fake legal authority.
OpenAI researchers analyzed 1.5 million ChatGPT conversations to understand consumer behavior. They found that three-quarters of all chats focus on practical guidance, information requests, and writing. Only about 30% of use is tied to professional work, with most conversations supporting personal tasks. Coding and self-expression remain less common. Why It Matters: The data shows ChatGPT has become a routine assistant for everyday decisions and quick writing tasks. Marketers, educators, and small businesses can lean on this trend to create services that plug into how people already use AI, from content drafts to on-demand research, making AI easier to adopt in daily workflows without a steep learning curve.
