MIT researchers have developed a method that generates more accurate uncertainty measures for certain types of estimation. This could help improve the reliability of data analyses in areas like economics, epidemiology, and environmental sciences.MIT researchers have developed a method that generates more accurate uncertainty measures for certain types of estimation.

Artificial intelligence systems absorb values from their training data. The trouble is that values differ across cultures. So an AI system trained on data from the entire internet won’t work equally well for people from different cultures.Artificial intelligence systems absorb values from their training data.

Zohran Mamdani as a creepy trick-or-treater, Gavin Newsom body-slamming Donald Trump and Hakeem Jeffries in a sombrero. This is not the setup to an elaborate joke. Instead, these are all examples of recent AI-generated political videos. New easy-to-use tools—and acceptance of those tools by politicians—means that these fake videos are quickly becoming commonplace in American politics.Zohran Mamdani as a creepy trick-or-treater, Gavin Newsom body-slamming Donald Trump and Hakeem Jeffries in a sombrero.

In the historic walled city of Derry (also known as Londonderry) in Northern Ireland, the night-time economy is vibrant. But like many urban centers, it presents safety challenges for those trying to get home. At night, a volunteer group known as the Inner City Assistance Team (iCat) often patrols the streets, intervening when people feel vulnerable—whether due to intoxication, a mental health issue, or simply being alone in unlit or unfamiliar areas.In the historic walled city of Derry (also known as Londonderry) in Northern Ireland, the night-time economy is vibrant.

AI-supported recommender systems should provide users with the best possible suggestions for their inquiries. These systems often have to serve different target groups and take other stakeholders into account who also influence the machine’s response: e.g. service providers, municipalities or tourism associations.AI-supported recommender systems should provide users with the best possible suggestions for their inquiries.
