| The Rundown: A new study in Nigeria just revealed that students using AI as an after-school tutor made learning gains equivalent to two years of traditional education in just six weeks — showcasing the power of AI-driven learning in developing regions. | The details: | The World Bank-backed pilot combined AI tutoring with teacher guidance in an after-school setting, focusing primarily on English language skills. Students significantly outperformed their peers in English, AI literacy, and digital skills, with the impact extending to their regular school exams. The intervention showed huge improvements, particularly for girls who were behind, suggesting AI tutoring could help close gender gaps in education. The program impact also increased with each additional session attended, suggesting longer programs might yield even greater benefits.
| Why it matters: This represents one of the first rigorous studies showing major real-world impacts in a developing nation. The key appears to be using AI as a complement to teachers rather than a replacement — and results suggest that AI tutoring could help address the global learning crisis, particularly in regions with teacher shortages. |

| | APPLE | |  | Image source: BBC |
| The Rundown: Apple just temporarily disabled its AI-powered news summary feature in Apple Intelligence after multiple instances of the system generating completely false headlines, including fabricated stories about arrests and deaths that never happened. | The details: | The feature launched in September with the iPhone 16 and was intended to condense multiple news notifications into brief summaries. Major news organizations, including the BBC and the Washington Post, complained that the feature contradicted original reporting and undermined trust. The BBC complained about the feature as early as December, urging Apple to remove it due to critical factual errors in breaking news reporting. Apple said it plans to make AI-generated summaries more clearly labeled and give users more control over which apps can use the summarization feature.
| Why it matters: Apple Intelligence has been underwhelming, to say the least, and letting mistake-prone summaries get pushed out for a month hurts not only the public's trust in journalism but all AI-infused products in general. Apple has a long way to go to bring its AI to the levels of both competitors and what was initially hyped at launch. |

| The Rundown: Microsoft Research just published MatterGen, an AI model that can generate new materials with specific properties, marking a major shift in how scientists discover and design new materials. | The details: | The model uses a diffusion architecture that simultaneously generates atom types, coordinates, and crystal structures across the periodic table. In tests, MatterGen produced stable materials over 2x more effectively than previous approaches, with structures 10x closer to their optimal energy states. A companion system called MatterSim helps validate the generated structures, creating an integrated pipeline for materials discovery. The model can be fine-tuned to create materials with specific target properties while considering the design's practical constraints, such as supply chain risks.
| Why it matters: The traditional trial-and-error approach to materials discovery is slow and expensive. By directly generating viable candidates with desired properties, MatterGen could dramatically accelerate the development of advanced materials for sectors like clean energy, computing, and other critical technologies. |
