Welcome to Tech Beat, your daily read on the stories shaping our digital world.
Princeton University is bringing back proctored exams for the first time in one hundred thirty three years, and the reason is exactly what you'd expect — artificial intelligence. The Ivy League school has decided that the honor system, which served it since eighteen ninety two, simply wasn't designed for a world where a language model can write your essay in seconds.
That tension between AI access and academic integrity connects to a broader argument making rounds today. A new essay argues that access to frontier AI is about to become scarce and selective — that the open, anyone-can-use era is winding down as costs, regulation, and competitive pressure push the most powerful models behind tighter gates. It's a provocative claim, and one worth watching.
Meanwhile, in a San Francisco courtroom, the Musk versus Altman trial is wrapping up jury deliberations, and Wired makes a pointed observation — regardless of who wins, both men have emerged looking worse for the wear. The proceedings have surfaced internal OpenAI communications and competing narratives that have done reputational damage on both sides of the aisle.
