'It's a Modern-Day Draft': Why Stanford Students Walked Out on Sundar Pichai's Commencement Speech

WIRED

Last month, more than a hundred Stanford students left their own graduation to protest Google's military contracts and deals with ICE. Two organizers, Amanda Campos and Eva Jones, tell us why. Are the kids all right? The answer to that question probably depends on your criteria. At the very least, I can tell you that some of them are most definitely very mad. The anger percolating among America's youth was on display this graduation season, as college students across the country booed and jeered several high-profile commencement speakers who dared discuss--let alone extol the benefits of-- artificial intelligence . While AI use among college kids is widespread, so too is the fear and mistrust about what the technology might mean for the future. A recent Gallup poll found that Gen Z sentiment toward AI has significantly declined, with only 22 percent of respondents expressing excitement about the tech--and anxiety around AI affecting 42 percent of them. Among the commencement speech chaos, though, one school stood out to me: Stanford University. The California-based institution, long a key hub for Silicon Valley recruiting and a pipeline into elite tech gigs, this year saw more than a hundred students walk out of Google CEO Sundar Pichai's remarks to graduates. Ironically, Pichai didn't explicitly mention AI in his address at all.

So, what was the key to Kerr's incredible success? Kerr ran his record-breaking race in a pair of one-of-a-kind supershoes that were specially designed for his feet and running style.

'Mind-blowing' ancient bones discovery sparked by family holiday

'Mind-blowing' ancient bones discovery sparked by family holiday To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. A family holiday sparked a series of remarkable archaeological discoveries which one expert says could change what is currently known about Britain's prehistory. John Bolton, an archaeologist, was visiting the 11th Century Pembroke Castle in 2010 when he heard there was a cave beneath it. His interest grew when he discovered that the cave, known as Wogan Cavern, showed little signs of previous excavation - so he badgered Dr Rob Dinnis, from the University of Aberdeen, to take a look. Small digs have since uncovered extremely rare evidence of early humans and animals - including the bones of a hippopotamus which roamed Wales 120,000 years ago.
