It’s been just over three years since OpenAI launched ChatGPT, sparking a rapid acceleration in the development of generative AI. Technology is often compared to past inflection points such as the Industrial Revolution or the rise of cloud computing – not because the parallels are perfect, but because each has reshaped how work gets done…

Fowler (bio – articles – email) | January 21, 2026 Introductory note from Jeff Mirus: In 2024, Thomas Fowler wrote a series of four articles on artificial intelligence for CatholicCulture.org: At the end of 2025, Tom published a major book on this subject: Artificial intelligence: foundations, limits, advantages and dangers….
As Vermont students complete their midyear exams, school districts continue to reevaluate and develop guidelines regarding artificial intelligence inside and outside of the classroom. Five students from South Burlington and Stowe tell NBC5 they sometimes or never use AI in their learning. “Out of the four years I was at Stowe High School, this was…
A whole new chaotic corner of the internet offers a glimpse of what travel distribution could look like when AI agents – not humans – become the primary customers.

The Vervet monkeys were first spotted Thursday near a park in the northern part of the city, sparking “rumor after rumor,” city Health Department spokesman Willie Springer said. It is not clear who the monkeys belong to,…
From principles to practice As artificial intelligence systems become more agentic and capable of multi-step reasoning and autonomous action, the issue of trust moves from theory to practice. These challenges are the focus of the Trust in AI Alliance, a new forum hosted by Thomson Reuters Labs that brings together leading AI researchers and engineers…
Over the past four weeks, I have personally observed compelling evidence in “AI” that will most likely cause massive shocks to employment patterns in IT, software development, systems administration, and cybersecurity. I know some have already experienced minor shocks. They are nothing compared to what most likely awaits us. Nobody probably wants to hear this,…
