Text 1: ‘Made me feel proudly American’: stars react to Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl show

As blue, red and white fireworks filled the sky at the end of Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl half-time show, a message filled the screen in all capitals: “The only thing more powerful than hate is love.” It was the enduring statement from a 13-minute spectacle that invited an estimated 135.4 million viewers into Bad Bunny’s world, with richly textured references to politics, history and Puerto Rican culture. The artist transformed the pitch of the Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, into his own love letter to the island, with cinematic set pieces including sugarcane fields, a house party, and a lively wedding ceremony featuring a surprise performance by Lady Gaga.

Bad Bunny tapped into just how broad a definition of “America” could be, shouting “God bless America” before saying a list of countries and territories including the US and “mi madre,” Puerto Rico. In a five-star review, The Guardian’s Stefanie Fernández called it a celebration of “the love, the community and the absolute joy that we create together every day in spite of everything else.”

Earlier this month, Bad Bunny took home the album of the year Grammy for his 2025 release Debí Tirar Más Fotos, which blends traditional Puerto Rican genres with hip-hop and reggaeton. During one of his speeches that night, he said: “We are not savages, we are not animals, we are not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans … The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love.”

Last year, he was Spotify’s most-streamed global artist with more than 19.8 billion streams, dethroning Taylor Swift, who had held that title for the previous two years. The half-time show’s references to politics were subtle but frequent. On stage, Bad Bunny carried the Puerto Rican flag of independence, the original flag of the territory that was outlawed until 1952 and is distinguished by its sky-blue triangle.

Ahead of the performance, Bad Bunny said: “I really want people to have fun. It’s gonna be a huge party. I want to bring what people can always expect from me, and a lot of my culture.”

Text 2: What would an AI university look like and how might it change education?

Professor Pan Hui has already been replaced by artificial intelligence—and he did the replacing himself. In 2023, one of his students mentioned that they were a little bored seeing the same professor every lesson and might enjoy being taught by some different faces. This gave Hui an idea: why not use generative AI and an avatar to teach the students instead? “I wanted to see whether the students would accept avatar teachers in the classroom and how they respond to this technology,” he says.

Like many researchers and educators, Hui views AI as a tool with potentially transformative power in education. So, over ten weeks in early 2024, postgraduate students were taught a course by various digital avatars. They could ask questions and an underlying large language model (LLM) provided real-time responses, syncing facial animations to the answers. Hui and colleagues collected data on the students’ experience via surveys and interviews. Students reported that certain human-like avatars felt more trustworthy than cartoonish avatars.

Hui’s experiment provides clues to the approach that an ‘AI-first’ university might take. AI has already had a seismic impact on higher education. The struggles faced by universities so far, both ethical and pedagogical, arise from the rapid deployment of AI tools into higher-education systems that were not equipped to handle them.

But what if new universities were built with AI as a core tool? From admissions that can be handled by AI agents to personalized tutoring and lesson plans based on individual learning needs, there is an opportunity to completely rethink how a university works as an educational institution.

Such ‘AI-first’ universities might find it easier to integrate technology, because they would include AI systems as the foundation of everything they do, suggests Helen Crompton, director of the Institute for Digital Innovation in Learning.

For some higher-education observers, however, there is both opportunity and concern. Anthony Kaziboni, a sociologist at the University of Johannesburg, says he is worried that if the companies behind AI systems are too involved in reshaping education, it would cause problems because their motivations “are not rooted in pedagogy, but profit.”
