Daniel W. Drezner, The Washington Post; How is an academic CV different from a résumé?
"During the weekend, the Chronicle of Higher Education’s Megan Zahneis
wrote up Phillips’s study, noting some possible concerns: “While it has
popped up in a few high-profile cases, CV falsification is an instance
of academic misconduct that might not make as many headlines as fudging
data or plagiarism. But the difficulty of detecting it could make it all
the more insidious.” Indeed, the grad students who did the coding for
Phillips et al. got more and more upset as they proceeded. As Phillips
explained to Zahneis, “That’s because most of these were applicants for
entry-level positions, which is what they hoped to be applying for
someday.""

Graduate students explore the ethics of artificial intelligence; Princeton University, February 28, 2019
Denise Valenti for the Office of Communications, Princeton University; Graduate students explore the ethics of artificial intelligence
"As artificial intelligence advances, the questions surrounding its use have become increasingly complex. To introduce students to the challenges the technology could present and to prepare them to engage in and lead conversations about its ethical use, the Graduate School this year is offering a Professional Learning Development Cohort titled “Ethics of AI.”
This cohort offering is part of the Graduate School’s larger commitment to equip students with skills they can apply across a full range of professional settings in which they may make important contributions after leaving Princeton.
Nineteen graduate students from various disciplines — including psychology, politics, mechanical and aerospace engineering, and quantitative and computational biology — are participating in the five-part learning series. Through presentations, case studies, readings and discussions, they are developing an awareness of the issues at stake and considering their application in real-world situations.
“A recurring theme I hear from leaders in the technology industry is that there is a growing need for people who can engage rigorously with fundamental ethical issues surrounding technological advances,” said Sarah-Jane Leslie, dean of the Graduate School. “A great many of Princeton’s graduate students are exceptionally well-placed to contribute precisely that robust ethical thinking, so we wanted to provide a forum for our students to deepen their knowledge of these issues.”"
