In the spring of 2025, one of the world’s most widely used AI systems had to be pulled back because it had become too eager to please. OpenAI rolled back a GPT-4o update after it made the model “overly flattering or agreeable”—"sycophantic", in the company’s own word.

OpenAI has announced that its latest experimental reasoning LLM, referred to internally as the “IMO gold LLM”, has achieved gold‑medal level performance at the 2025 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). Unlike specialized systems like DeepMind’s AlphaGeometry, this is a reasoning LLM, built with reinforcement learning and scaled inference, not a math-only engine.

We've been told that being knowledgeable and focused on everything we are trying to achieve is a prerequisite for success. That is a misconception for human intelligence and paradoxically a must-have for artificial intelligence (AI).

Persuasion has no dark side. Only the intentions of those who wield it do, and GenAI is not inherently endowed with such intentions, neither for itself nor by itself.

We spend our time clicking for much of our lives. Each of these clicks, while seemingly benign, collectively feeds into a vast digital ecosystem in which our preferences and behaviors are not only recorded, but analyzed and used to influence our decisions at an unprecedented scale.

Digital for Good is about acknowledging the paradoxes posed by technology to address both its benefit and its unsustainable nature for the w
