These personality types are most likely to cheat using AI
The paper, published in the journal BMC Psychology by Jinyi Song of South Korea's Chodang University and Shuyan Liu of Baekseok University, surveyed 504 college-level Chinese art students. Researchers assessed traits like narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism, all of which are collectively known as the 'Dark Triad.' They found that students who scored highly on these traits were significantly more likely to use AI tools like ChatGPT and Midjourney to complete their assignments.
Why? According to PsyPost, narcissists may cheat to bolster their self-image or gain recognition, while those high in Machiavellianism may view AI as a way to gain an edge over their peers. Psychopathy, meanwhile, is associated with impulsivity and a lack of remorse.
The study also found that students with higher dark trait scores were more likely to pass off AI-generated work as their own. These same students were more anxious about academic performance and more prone to procrastination—factors that made them more likely to rely on AI to finish their assignments.
Researchers also examined materialism. Students who scored higher in materialistic values, or who were driven by external rewards and praise, were similarly more likely to misuse AI.
While those surveyed face a perfect storm of competition, pressure to produce original creative work, and the increasing presence of generative AI in their field, the ChatGPT dilemma now extends across creative industries, academia, and beyond.
Thanks to artificial intelligence, the temptation to turn to AI—whether for homework or even just writing a text—has never been more pervasive. Next time you reach for ChatGPT, consider what it might reveal about you.

TCS to cut more than 12,000 jobs amid AI-led disruptions
Indian IT services company Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has announced its intention to reduce its workforce by 2% in response to AI-driven disruptions and macroeconomic uncertainties. This decision will lead to approximately 12,200 job cuts, Reuters reported, citing a company statement. The reductions will primarily affect middle and senior management employees. 'This transition is being planned with due care to ensure there is no impact on service delivery to our clients," TCS said. As of June 2025, TCS had more than 610,000 employees. The announcement came as the Indian IT sector, valued at $283bn, is experiencing similar challenges. Clients are reportedly delaying non-essential technology spending due to weak demand, persistent inflation, and uncertainties surrounding US trade policies. Earlier in July 2025, TCS chief executive K Krithivasan also noted that client decision-making and project initiations are facing delays. The restructuring effort is aimed at transforming the company into a future-ready organisation. 'This includes strategic initiatives on multiple fronts, and while these changes are necessary for our growth and evolution, we understand the impact on our colleagues. We thank them for their service and are committed to supporting them through this transition,' The Times of India quoted Krithivasan as saying in an email to employees. The company is currently focusing on deploying AI and other technologies while exploring new markets and managing an unpredictable demand landscape. In June 2025, TCS announced the establishment of three new facilities in Europe to bolster its presence in the software-defined vehicles sector. This includes two automotive delivery centres in Germany, located in Munich and Villingen-Schwenningen, and an engineering facility in Romania. "TCS to cut more than 12,000 jobs amid AI-led disruptions" was originally created and published by Verdict, a GlobalData owned brand.

Emulating PC games on your non-Snapdragon device just got better
Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR GameSir has announced that its GameHub app now offers much better support for MediaTek chipsets with Mali GPUs. The company also revealed that it's working with MediaTek to launch custom Mali GPU drivers. GameHub lets people play PC games on their Android phones without streaming. There are a few ways to natively play PC games on your phone without streaming, with Winlator and GameSir's GameHub app being the most popular solutions. These apps traditionally offer better support for Qualcomm Snapdragon devices, but there's good news if you've got a MediaTek-powered device. GameSir announced via its app that the latest version of GameHub offers much better support for devices with Mali GPUs. It points to devices with MediaTek Dimensity chips, specifically mentioning the Dimensity 9000 to 9400 processors. It says these devices should support DirectX9 to DirectX11 PC games 'with performance comparable to Qualcomm Adreno, and even surpassing it in some scenarios.' The GameHub team delved into some technical challenges with Mali GPUs, starting with the unsatisfactory Vulkan implementation. It pointed to issues like 'unstable' shader compilers and missing driver capabilities. So how did GameSir address these problems? For one, the team said it invested time and resources in debugging/analyzing Dimensity devices and 'optimized' resource scheduling. Furthermore, it created a 'code conversion mechanism to optimize DirectX instructions into a format executable by Mali GPUs.' The team says it also made runtime optimizations in cases where the driver functionality wasn't adequate. Weirdly enough, the GameHub team also claimed that it offers 'native support' for 32-bit PC games. That sounds rather crazy, as compatibility layers like Wine or tools like Box can incur a performance penalty and technically don't offer native support. In some major news for mobile gamers, GameSir also said it's teaming up with MediaTek to eventually offer custom GPU drivers. We plan to jointly launch custom drivers with MediaTek, specifically designed for GameFusion, to address long-standing Mali GPU issues at the chip level, further enhancing the gaming performance of Dimensity devices. There's no release timeline for these drivers, though. This is still welcome news, as one major advantage of Snapdragon devices is the prevalence of open-source Adreno drivers (dubbed Turnip). These drivers can improve emulation/gaming performance and address bugs. MediaTek isn't the only chipmaker using Mali GPUs, though. Google Pixel phones with Tensor chips use Mali GPUs too. We've asked GameSir's representatives whether some of these improvements will filter down to Pixel phones. We've also asked the representatives for more details on 'native support' for 32-bit PC games. We'll update the article when the company gets back to us. Nevertheless, we hope a few of these improvements and optimizations come to Pixel devices. However, Pixel 10 rumors suggest that Google will switch to Imagination GPUs. So even if these upgrades apply to Pixel phones with Mali graphics, it won't apply to the Pixel 10 series. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .
