AI agents are all the rage; but research shows they leak private data
Before you prompt AI to answer another question or perform another task, new research suggests there may be another consideration: whether the tools used by an AI agent could expose sensitive data. Ying Zhang, an assistant professor of computer science, studies security in software engineering.

The Insight: Meet Wake’s new academic QB
Wake Forest's new president, Peter Rodriguez, will captain a university with a comprehensive array of programs—medicine, law, graduate schools, in business and professional studies, divinity and a Power Four athletics program. "The thing that’s good about being a business school dean is, typically you engage the external commercial community a lot. You think very actively about being innovative and being an agent of change." Higher ed is facing no small list of challenges, so if Rodriguez is looking to call plays differently, he's definitely one to watch in the year ahead.
Scroll to the second post in the Insights newsletter to read the full blurb about President Rodriguez.

This North Carolina city Is home to 1 of the South’s most beautiful college campuses
Winston-Salem is home to six colleges and universities, most notably Wake Forest University, where Maya Angelou once taught poetry and the ACC’s Demon Deacons play. Take a spin through the college that moved from the Raleigh area to Winston-Salem in 1956. Beautiful Wait Chapel is worth a visit any time of year, but December’s Moravian Lovefeast, with sweet buns and choral music, is the largest event of its kind in the country.

How an NC professor and her students helped human composting become legal in the US
Tanya Marsh feels it's a little ironic that a company that turns human remains into compost is working to open a facility in North Carolina. After all, the state played a major role in getting human composting up and running legally around the country. “The ironic thing is, the legal work started in North Carolina. But to my knowledge, nobody’s even introduced legislation to try and make it legal in North Carolina yet,” said Marsh, a professor of funeral and cemetery law.
Wake Forest research on alternative burials was also featured on WMAC's Public Radio The Roundtable.

Wendell Berry’s difficult hope
In this essay, Michael Lamb, chair of Leadership and Character and associate professor of interdisciplinary humanities, writes: In 2012, when we laid my grandfather in the earth, we read an excerpt from Berry’s poem “Rising” at his graveside. Now, as I remember a man who has been an intellectual grandfather to me and so many others, I return to his words, with deep and abiding thanks. May Wendell’s flesh continue to “rhyme its part in immortal song,” and may we “reach through ages with the seed.”

Bettors wager on Trump convention speech
