One Halifax professor recently issued a policy saying he doesn't allow the use of artificial intelligence, like large-language model ChatGPT, in his classes. Large-language models are a type of artificial intelligence that can answer requests for translations, summaries and other content based on immense amounts of written information fed into the systems. Artificial intelligence is known to have biases, and Parasram says that limits search results to only peer-reviewed articles and top-tier journals that reinforce certain intellectual discourse. Parasram said if students use artificial intelligence for their research, it would be a disservice to their own learning experience. She encourages her students to use large-language models in her classes, because it's available and they should know how to use them.

Colour is part of an experiment that could one day help the ocean better absorb carbon dioxideSome parts of the Halifax harbour turned a bright shade of pink on Thursday — for science. Researchers with Dalhousie University added pink fluorescent dye to Nova Scotia Power's Tufts Cove Generating Station in Dartmouth, so the colour can be tracked as it moves through the harbour over the next couple of days. It's part of an experiment that could one day help the ocean better absorb carbon dioxide. "The ultimate goal here is to test an idea for a technology that would help us reduce atmospheric CO2 and could be one tool in the toolbox for fighting climate change, basically." Mysterious orb found on deep sea expeditionFennel said the experiment began Thursday morning, when about 500 litres of dye, which is water soluble and safe, was added to the cooling water outfall of the generating station.
