Listen to The Intelligence Shift wherever you get your podcasts.

[SPEAKER_B] Good Morning Brew Daily Show. I'm Neal Freyman.

[SPEAKER_C] And I'm Toby Howell.

[SPEAKER_B] Today, why Europe's airports are especially chaotic this summer.

[SPEAKER_C] Then why lots of English speakers prefer Telemundo's World Cup broadcast to Fox's. It's Thursday, July 9th. Let's ride.

[SPEAKER_B] Good morning. A Brown University economics professor is coming forward with pretty clear-cut evidence that virtually all of his students used AI to cheat in his class this spring. On the take-home midterm exam, Roberto Serrano said that the average score was 96 out of 100, while 40 students scored a perfect 100. He grew very suspicious, writing to the students, I am not declaring the midterm void for now. I'm going to give the class a chance to prove me wrong. So he made the final exam in person. Here's what happened next. 18 students dropped the course, 9 didn't bother to show up to the final, and the average score fell from 96 on the midterm to 48 on the final. Toby, not a great look for your alma mater.

[SPEAKER_C] Not a great look, but I want to shout out two people in this class. First is a person who received a 95.5 on the midterm. Suspicious? Nope. 95 on the final. An ethical baller right there.
