Proper research data management, including the use of AI, is crucial for scientists to reproduce prior results, combine data from multiple sources, and make data more accessible and reusable, ultimately improving the scientific process and benefiting all forms of intelligence.
Artificial intelligence will be used by researchers to analyze the language used by LAPD officers during traffic stops in order to assess whether police language sometimes escalates encounters unnecessarily.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed the classroom, allowing for personalized tutoring, enhancing classroom activities, and changing the culture of learning, although it presents challenges such as cheating and the need for clarity about its use, according to Ethan Mollick, an associate professor at the Wharton School.
Artificial intelligence (AI) tools can put human rights at risk, as highlighted by researchers from Amnesty International on the Me, Myself, and AI podcast, who discuss scenarios in which AI is used to track activists and make automated decisions that can lead to discrimination and inequality, emphasizing the need for human intervention and changes in public policy to address these issues.
Top prosecutors from all 50 states are urging Congress to establish an expert commission to study how artificial intelligence can be used to exploit children through pornography and to expand existing restrictions on child sexual abuse materials to cover AI-generated images.
AI in policing poses significant dangers, particularly to Black and brown individuals, due to the already flawed criminal justice system, biases in AI algorithms, and the potential for abuse and increased surveillance of marginalized communities.
Paedophiles are using open source AI models to create child sexual abuse material, according to the Internet Watch Foundation, raising concerns about the potential for realistic and widespread illegal content.
Assistant Professor Samantha Shorey from the University of Texas Austin has been appointed to the AI100 study panel, which aims to explore the impact of artificial intelligence on society and produce a report every five years. Shorey won an AI100 essay competition with her essay discussing the integration of AI into the workplace and its effects on essential workers.
AI is revolutionizing scientific research by accelerating drug discovery, predicting protein structures, improving weather forecasting, controlling nuclear fusion, automating laboratory work, and enhancing data analysis, allowing scientists to explore new frontiers and increase research productivity.
A survey conducted by Canva found that while many professionals claim to be familiar with artificial intelligence (AI), a significant number exaggerate or even fake their knowledge of AI in order to keep up with colleagues and superiors, highlighting the need for more opportunities to learn and explore AI in the workplace.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms have been used to analyze police incident reports related to sexual assault in order to measure officer bias and predict the outcomes of cases, with the findings suggesting that more subjective reports resulted in higher prosecution rates. This research demonstrates the potential for AI to assist in improving report-writing and addressing bias in the criminal justice system.
Educators in the Sacramento City Unified District are monitoring students' use of artificial intelligence (AI) on assignments and have implemented penalties for academic misconduct, while also finding ways to incorporate AI into their own teaching practices.
Adversaries and criminal groups are exploiting artificial intelligence (AI) technology to carry out malicious activities, according to FBI Director Christopher Wray, who warned that while AI can automate tasks for law-abiding citizens, it also enables the creation of deepfakes and malicious code, posing a threat to US citizens. The FBI is working to identify and track those misusing AI, but is cautious about using it themselves. Other US security agencies, however, are already utilizing AI to combat various threats, while concerns about China's use of AI for misinformation and propaganda are growing.
Criminals are increasingly using artificial intelligence, including deepfakes and voice cloning, to carry out scams and deceive people online, posing a significant threat to online security.
New Jersey officials will use artificial intelligence to analyze Paterson police body camera footage as part of a reform effort following a state takeover of the police department, which includes requirements for officers to have supervisors present during crisis situations and arrests.
Queen Creek Police Department in Arizona will be the first in the state to use artificial intelligence (AI) software to review police body cam footage, aiming to reduce use of force and promote de-escalation by analyzing officer interactions and creating report cards for each officer. AI technology, such as Truleo, has shown promise in lowering use-of-force incidents in other departments, although further independent studies are needed to assess the potential costs and outcomes.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming various fields of science, but its impact on research and society is still unclear, as highlighted in a new Nature series which explores the benefits and risks of AI in science based on the views of over 1,600 researchers worldwide.
A South Korean man has been sentenced to two and a half years in prison for using artificial intelligence to create exploitative images of children, marking the first case of its kind in the country and highlighting concerns about the use of AI in creating abusive sexual content.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to facilitate deceptive practices such as deepfake videos and misleading ads, posing a threat to American democracy, according to experts who testified before the U.S. Senate Rules Committee.
The European Central Bank is exploring the use of artificial intelligence to better understand inflation, support oversight of big banks, and assist with policy and decision-making, although decisions still ultimately rest in the hands of human policymakers.
Florida schools are embracing artificial intelligence in the classroom, teaching students how to use it to solve real-world problems and prepare for future careers.
