Gaza is now officially in IPC Phase 5, the final stage of hunger. Designated as 'catastrophe'. A further 67 of the starving were killed by IDF soldiers yesterday trying to access food. Witnesses say the victims had their hands held in the air. One day, everyone will have always been against this.
A Palestinian girl cries out for food with her hands held out at a charity kitchen amid the famine in Gaza. She is surrounded by other young, anguished children. This photo was taken on Thurs July 11, 2025 after at least 10 children were killed by an Israeli strike as they queued outside a medical point. More Palestinians have now been killed just waiting for food than the number of victims killed in the Hamas terrorist attack of October 7.

I am delighted to announce that my new paper with @darrenmacey.bsky.social is now published, entitled 'All sizzle, no steak: AI tools are not able to act as credible knowledge brokers by summarising evidence in mathematics education' bsrlm.org.uk/wp-content/u...
A picture of the title and abstract of the research paper: All sizzle, no steak: AI tools are not able to act as credible knowledge brokers by
summarising evidence in mathematics education
Lucy Rycroft-Smith, Darren Macey
University of Cambridge
Current discourse around AI (artificial intelligence) tools suggest they can
offer users quick access to research evidence, with the goal of improving
our practice and policies in mathematics education. However, recent
evaluations suggest that AI often falls short of human capabilities in
accurately summarising complex information, raising questions about
trust, credibility, and reliability. In this paper, we investigate whether AI
tools are able to successfully perform the educational knowledge
brokering function of finding, selecting, and summarising research with
implications for practitioners. In particular, we ask if AI tools are able to
find research papers that actually exist (accuracy), are relevant to the
question (relevancy) and are able to interpret findings into useful,
actionable implications for practitioners (applicability). We find that
generally they are not, and even when they are, they do so in a way that is
so inconsistent as to be a serious threat to credibility.
Keywords: artificial intelligence; AI; knowledge brokering; large language
models; mathematics education
