AI failed the Holocaust test – and that should worry us all
- A new study by Cornell historian Jan Burzlaff warns that AI stumbles badly when asked to retell Holocaust survivor testimonies, often smoothing over suffering, omitting crucial details, and distorting memory itself. In one case, ChatGPT left out a harrowing moment when a starving child was kept alive by her mother’s blood, an absence Burzlaff says proves why human historians remain essential. Published in Rethinking History, his findings argue that while AI excels at coherence, it fails at honoring contradictions and silences, turning memory into something technically accurate but ethically hollow. Burzlaff frames Holocaust testimony as a litmus test—if AI cannot hold on here, where suffering is beyond dispute, how can it handle more complex histories? The real danger, he concludes, is not obvious errors but the flattening of the past into something easy to consume yet stripped of its force. Click here to read more.

IDF invasion of Gaza City erupts as Palestinians report tanks in heart of the Strip
-
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) launched a full-scale invasion of Gaza City late Monday night, with tanks entering the heart of the city after weeks of escalating airstrikes and artillery fire. Palestinian sources reported scenes of intense warfare not seen in northern Gaza for nearly two years, as hundreds of thousands fled south while roughly 700,000 civilians remained. The move has sparked global controversy and deep divisions within Israel’s defense establishment, with IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir opposing the order but choosing not to resign. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted the invasion was necessary to further weaken Hamas, while U.S. President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Hamas over reports hostages were being used as human shields. Families of Israeli hostages, meanwhile, condemned the decision, accusing Netanyahu of risking their loved ones’ lives and vowing not to forgive the potential sacrifice. Click here to read more.
