ResearchBuzz: Firehose<p>Harvard Gazette: Does AI understand? . “As artificial intelligence firms release ever-more-advanced models that reason, research, create, and analyze, the meanings behind those verbs get slippery fast. What does it really mean to think, to understand, to know? The answer has big implications for how we use AI, and yet those who study intelligence are still reckoning with it.”</p><p><a href="https://rbfirehose.com/2025/07/20/harvard-gazette-does-ai-understand/" class="" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://rbfirehose.com/2025/07/20/harvard-gazette-does-ai-understand/</a></p>
