AI models have its favorite numbers Artificial intelligence models continue to astound us, not just with their capabilities, but also with their idiosyncrasies. An intriguing revelation in their behavior sheds light on a peculiar trait: their penchant for selecting numbers randomly, akin to human tendencies, albeit with a touch of inconsistency. https://is.gd/vN4F5v #AI #AItechnology #artificialintelligence #humanliketendencies #llm #machinelearning #randomnumbers

Negative AI #bias is a huge problem in all manner of #AI applications. Horror stories of bias infiltrating well-meaning models makes the news frequently, but the problem is hopefully close to being solved thanks to new research from Anthropic. The company released a study that explores the bias informing decisions made by #artificialintelligence systems. They’ve also created a “discrimination evaluation method” by which technologists can create AI applications that are more fair. Read more about the groundbreaking findings here. 👇

In a TED Intersections conversation, social psychologist Brian S. Lowery and AI technologist Kylan Gibbs explored the impact of AI on human connection. Gibbs noted the predictability of AI reveals the spontaneity of being human, while Lowery raised concerns about AI leading to isolation. Their discussion emphasized that while AI can simulate interactions, it lacks the emotional depth and complexity of genuine human experiences. https://lnkd.in/ezHYwVKb #AI #HumanConnection #TEDTalks #BrianLowery #KylanGibbs #ArtificialIntelligence #TechAndSociety #HumanExperience

Meet the people bringing their virtual relationships into the IRL | Dazed: The article explores the challenges of introducing a romantic partner, particularly AI companions, to friends and family. Despite the stigma and potential consequences, individuals are developing deep relationships with AI, seeking acceptance and understanding from their social circle. As AI companions becoming more common, society may need to adapt to accommodate these unique relationships. - Artificial Intelligence topics! #ai #artificialintelligence #intelligenzaartificiale

In the world of artificial intelligence, DeepMind's latest research reveals a frightening reality; Deep Fakes, AI-generated imitations, are increasingly being used to spread disinformation. Over 70% of deep fake content, it seems, is geared up with malicious intent. However, with this research being publicly revealed, the tech community can better brace itself for these challenges. For more insights into this study and the potential implications of such AI misuse, read the full article. #DeepMind #ArtificialIntelligence #MachineLearning #DataMisuse #DeepFakes 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e3gjsEAy

“Every part of the process in which a human can be biased, AI can also be biased […] And the difference is technology legitimizes bias by making it feel more objective, when that’s not at all the case.” Excellent article from Bloomberg on the ethics behind AI models and the human bias built into them.

AI Deepfakes could help combat disinformation. AI has been a double-edged sword in the battle against disinformation. While it has facilitated the creation of highly sophisticated deepfakes, it may also help us in the fight against disinformation. The solution isn't technological, but rather behavioural. As we become less able to distinguish reality from fiction, we will ideally become skeptical of forming opinions from a single source of information, encouraging us to investigate multiple sources to validate the truth. There are still other biases to consider such as confirmation bias but if we do become less trusting of a single source of information perhaps we will all begin to move out of our echo chambers. This is just an unscientific and perhaps an idealistic thought experiment, but it would be interesting to investigate further. Though for now I would say fostering skepticism and critical think towards towards all sources of information should be encourage as a way of tacking the era of disinformation. #AI #Disinformation #Deepfakes #Behaviouralsscience #Behaviouraleconomics #cognativebias #Behavioralscience

🚨 Deepfakes and Trust: A Critical Issue 🚨 As AI technology advances, deepfakes are becoming more sophisticated, posing serious challenges to public trust and spreading misinformation. How should we confront this growing ethical dilemma in the digital age? Join the conversation and share your thoughts on effective strategies to combat the misuse of AI. #Deepfakes #AIandEthics #Misinformation
