  14. AI have limitations in their reasoning, and these limitations appear to be fundamental: https://www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/360719320/new-research-offers-fresh-warnings-about-ability-ai
  15. Constant testing of AI has a cost, but it lowers costs in the long run: https://www.theregister.com/2025/06/08/chatterbox_labs_ai_adoption/
  16. AI is being used in recruitment, but people aren't happy about it: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/ai-and-recruitment/
  17. That's one way of stopping students using AI to cheat:  https://www.theverge.com/news/682737/china-shuts-down-ai-chatbots-exam-season
  18. AI might currently be used as a screening tool in recruitment, but that doesn't mean that any occult biases in the AI won't inappropriately screen people out: https://www.computerworld.com/article/4005351/surprise-employers-are-using-ai-to-interview-you.html
