Guidance based on artificial intelligence (AI) may be uniquely placed to foster biases in humans, leading to less effective decision making, say researchers, who found that people with a positive view of AI may be at higher risk of being misled by AI tools. The study, titled “Examining Human Reliance on Artificial Intelligence in Decision Making,” is published in Scientific Reports.Guidance based on artificial intelligence (AI) may be uniquely placed to foster biases in humans, leading to less effective decision making, say researchers, who found that people with a positive view of AI may be at higher risk of being misled by AI tools.

A firm that wants to use a large language model (LLM) to summarize sales reports or triage customer inquiries can choose between hundreds of unique LLMs with dozens of model variations, each with slightly different performance. To narrow down the choice, companies often rely on LLM ranking platforms, which gather user feedback on model interactions to rank the latest LLMs based on how they perform on certain tasks.A firm that wants to use a large language model (LLM) to summarize sales reports or triage customer inquiries can choose between hundreds of unique LLMs with dozens of model variations, each with slightly different performance.

Customers are 32% more likely to buy a product after reading a review summary generated by a chatbot than after reading the original review written by a human. That’s because large language models introduce bias, in this case a positive framing, in summaries. That, in turn, affects users’ behavior.Customers are 32% more likely to buy a product after reading a review summary generated by a chatbot than after reading the original review written by a human.

After Twitter’s 2023 rebrand into X, hate speech surged on the platform. Social media and video websites like Facebook and YouTube have long struggled with content moderation, battling the need to keep people safe—especially young people—against cries of censorship and repression.After Twitter’s 2023 rebrand into X, hate speech surged on the platform.

A new social network called Moltbook has been created for AIs, allowing machines to interact and talk to each other. Within hours of the platform launching, the AIs appeared to have created their own religions, developed subcultures and attempted to evade human efforts to eavesdrop on their conversations.A new social network called Moltbook has been created for AIs, allowing machines to interact and talk to each other.

Will artificial intelligence ever be able to reason, learn, and solve problems at levels comparable to humans? Experts at the University of California San Diego believe the answer is yes—and that such artificial general intelligence has already arrived. This debate is tackled by four faculty members spanning humanities, social sciences, and data science in a recently published Comment invited by Nature.Will artificial intelligence ever be able to reason, learn, and solve problems at levels comparable to humans?

The growth and impact of artificial intelligence are limited by the power and energy that it takes to train machine learning models. So how are researchers working to improve computing efficiency to support the rising demand for AI and its requisite computing power?The growth and impact of artificial intelligence are limited by the power and energy that it takes to train machine learning models.
