Current University · Absolutely free school, in any language.
How our courses update themselves
“Every day we scan the latest information in every field. We share with you what we think is a change as we go through regular course curriculum work, so it's the most current thing possible.”
How the daily scan works
Every day a research pass reads the latest news and research in each field we teach (AI, public health, finance, cybersecurity and the rest), using web search. Then every open course in that field is checked against what was found: does anything materially change what this course teaches? If yes, a short dated note is written, two to four sentences on what changed in the field and how it affects this course. If not, nothing is posted. Quiet days stay quiet. Each course page shows the date of its latest update and a list of recent notes.
What publishes automatically, and what a person reviews
A note publishes by itself only when its sources pass basic checks: at least two links, every link live, from at least two different reputable domains (governments, universities, established news and scientific publishers), and none older than 30 days. A note that fails any check is not published; it waits in a review queue for a person. Every automatic note is labeled "AI-reviewed update". Readers can press "Report this update"; after three separate reports the note is hidden and goes back to a person.
Sources policy
No source, no note. Sources are links that the search actually returned, never links recalled from memory, and a note may only say what those sources support. We do not use rumor, social media posts or anonymous blogs as sources. Every note links to its sources so you can read them yourself.
Corrections policy
If an update is wrong, report it. A person reads reports; a wrong note is removed or corrected, and the course page always shows when it was last updated. We would rather publish nothing than publish something we cannot back.
What this is not
Current University is not accredited. It grants no degrees and no credit. Lesson text is drafted with AI assistance and edited by a person; the automatic notes sit beside the lessons and do not silently rewrite them. The notes are written in English; the site, the AI counselor and the discussion rooms work in your language.
