As AI becomes more prevalent in the classroom — where students use it to complete assignments and teachers are uncertain about how to address it — an AI platform called MathGPT.ai launched last year with the goal of providing an “anti-cheating” tutor to college students and a teaching assistant to professors. Following a successful pilot program at 30 colleges and universities in the U.S., MathGPT.ai is preparing to nearly double its availability this fall, with hundreds of instructors planning to incorporate the tool. Schools implementing MathGPT.ai in their classrooms include Penn State University, Tufts University, and Liberty University, among others. …

So it’s a good thing that more people are becoming aware of their protein needs. This has left consumers on the hunt for easy ways to…

Investors are clambering to get onto Swedish vibe-coding startup Lovable’s cap table, making unsolicited offers of investment that value the company at more than $4 billion, reports Financial Times.

What happens when your first 10 hires aren’t people at all? At TechCrunch Disrupt 2025, happening October 27–29 at San Francisco’s Moscone West, we’re digging into the new wave of startups replacing or augmenting early employees with AI agents.

Dr. Rakesh Parekh was in his mid-40s when he first noticed something was wrong: During his workouts, his left arm was weaker and struggled to keep up. Initially, Parekh, an emergency medicine doctor and father of three, assumed he was overdoing it in the gym.“There was no part of me that wanted to believe that was in jeopardy,” said Parekh, 52, of Orlando, Florida.Parekh had watched his father die of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the progressive neurological disease commonly known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease. In 2021, a neurologist confirmed what Parekh feared: he had the same incurable diagnosis.“I really…
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs knew that Rashee Rice’s six-game suspension was coming down from the NFL this week.That’s why they kept eight wide receivers on cutdown day.Now, they believe they are better suited to deal with the absence of their No. 1 wide receiver than they were last season, when the Chiefs were suddenly without Rice for most of the season following an injury to his right knee.JuJu Smith-Schuster came back to training camp in excellent shape, general manager Brett Veach said, and rookie Jalen Royals has a similar skillset. Throw in a healthy Marquise…
Amid all the “is this a bubble?” talk about artificial intelligence, the supply chain and logistics industries have become breeding grounds for seemingly genuine uses of the technology. Flexport, Uber Freight, and dozens of startups are developing different applications and winning blue-chip customers. But while AI helps Fortune 500s pad their bottom line (and justify the next layoff to Wall Street), the right use of the tech is proving useful to smaller businesses. Netstock, an inventory management software company founded in 2009, is working on just that. It recently rolled out a generative AI-powered tool called the “Opportunity Engine” that…
A panel convened in July 2025 by the Food and Drug Administration sparked controversy by casting doubt about the safety of commonly used antidepressants during pregnancy. But it also raised the broader issue of how little is known about the safety of many medications used in pregnancy, considering the implications for both mother and child – and how understudied this topic is.In the U.S., the average pregnant patient takes four prescription medications, and more than 9 in 10 patients take at least one. But most drugs lack conclusive evidence about their safety during pregnancy. About 1 in 5 women uses…
