If you spend any amount of time on LinkedIn, you’ll have certainly come across this type of phrasing: “This isn’t a job, it’s a calling” or “This isn’t marketing, it’s a movement” or “This isn’t a tool, it’s a paradigm shift.”If you spend any amount of time on LinkedIn, you’ll have certainly come across this type of phrasing: “This isn’t a job, it’s a calling” or “This isn’t marketing, it’s a movement” or “This isn’t a tool, it’s a paradigm shift.”Machine learning & AI[#item_full_content]

Chatbots may fuel ‘delusional spirals’ that lead to real-world harm

Perhaps to the surprise of their creators, large language models have become confidants, therapists, and, for some, intimate partners to real human users. In a new study, AI researchers at Stanford studied verbatim transcripts of 19 real conversations between humans and chatbots to understand how these relationships arise, evolve, and, too often, devolve into troubling outcomes the researchers describe as “delusional spirals.”Perhaps to the surprise of their creators, large language models have become confidants, therapists, and, for some, intimate partners to real human users.

New study reveals chatbot empathy can worsen customer reactions

When a service encounter goes south, customers expect empathy. Hearing an employee say, “I share your frustration,” can calm tensions and rebuild trust. But new research from the University of South Florida suggests that when a chatbot tries the same tactic, it can backfire.When a service encounter goes south, customers expect empathy.

Study suggests strategic Wikipedia engagement enhances scientific visibility
0

A new study, published in Anatomical Sciences Education, provides evidence that researchers and scientific organizations can significantly improve public access to accurate, high-quality information through structured engagement with Wikipedia, one of the most widely used knowledge platforms in the world and an increasingly influential source for both search engines and artificial intelligence systems.A new study, published in Anatomical Sciences Education, provides evidence that researchers and scientific organizations can significantly improve public access to accurate, high-quality information through structured engagement with Wikipedia, one of the most widely used knowledge platforms in the world and an increasingly influential source for both search engines and artificial intelligence systems.Internet[#item_full_content]

Tag-teaming turbulence: Frontier supercomputer trains AI to model cosmic storms
0

Researchers used the world’s fastest supercomputer for open science to train an artificial intelligence model that captures magnetic turbulence within a plasma in unprecedented detail. Results from the model, trained on the Frontier supercomputer at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, could support research ranging from modeling a supernova to building the next generation of nuclear fusion reactors.Researchers used the world’s fastest supercomputer for open science to train an artificial intelligence model that captures magnetic turbulence within a plasma in unprecedented detail.
