Artificial intelligence models replicate, and sometimes amplify, all sorts of human biases. In the last few years, University of Washington researchers have found AI has erased female characters from kids’ stories, favored job applicants of certain races and genders and swayed human decisions.Artificial intelligence models replicate, and sometimes amplify, all sorts of human biases.

Collaboration between different stakeholders is a key part of project-based industries like construction. A variety of documents are required for effective communication, and inconsistencies between them could lead to project delays and increased costs, making early detection essential.Collaboration between different stakeholders is a key part of project-based industries like construction.

Governments use them to track phones. Criminals drive them through city streets and send texts that look like they came from your bank. For 20 years, researchers have been building tools to catch these fake cell towers. They have tested those tools mostly against fake towers they built themselves.Governments use them to track phones.

A McGill-led research team has developed a bacteria-based biocomputer that can solve large, complex problems using a small fraction of the memory and resources required by standard (“solid-state”) computers. Possible applications include encryption, molecular biology and artificial intelligence, the researchers said.A McGill-led research team has developed a bacteria-based biocomputer that can solve large, complex problems using a small fraction of the memory and resources required by standard (“solid-state”) computers.

Advertising on ChatGPT has so far proven significantly less cost-effective for businesses than advertising on Google. This is the finding of a new study by Christian Schulze, associate professor of marketing at Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, and Maximilian Kaiser, assistant professor at Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU Vienna).Advertising on ChatGPT has so far proven significantly less cost-effective for businesses than advertising on Google.
