  • New AI Framework Promises to Eliminate Bias in Critical Decision-Making

    A team of researchers from the Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Institute (DATAI) at the University of Navarra has developed a new methodology to improve fairness and reliability in artificial intelligence models used for critical decision-making. These decisions significantly impact individuals’ lives and the operations of organizations, particularly in fields such as health, education, justice…

  • New University of Surrey Study Demands Accountability in AI

    A call for greater transparency in artificial intelligence is emerging from the University of Surrey as AI systems are increasingly influencing high-stakes areas like health care, banking and crime detection. Amid rising concerns about the so-called ‘black box’ nature of many AI models, the researchers are advocating for an overhaul in how these systems are…

  • New AI Framework for More Sustainable Urban Planning

    A new era in sustainable urban planning is on the horizon, thanks to a recent study that leverages artificial intelligence and remote sensing technologies to identify building materials with unprecedented accuracy. The research, a collaboration between Peking University and the University of Southern Denmark, promises to revolutionize how cities plan and retrofit buildings for better…

  • New Study Calls for Urgent Need to Tackle AI Bias

    In a new study published in the journal Information & Management, researchers call attention to the urgent need to combat inherent biases within generative AI models by developing and implementing ethical, explainable AI. The research points out that as large language models (LLMs) become more affordable and widely used, their built-in biases could have far-reaching…

  • New AI Model Identifies Genetic Risk Factors for Parkinson’s Disease

    In a new study, researchers led by the Cleveland Clinic Genome Center have successfully used advanced artificial intelligence (AI) genetics models to identify genetic factors associated with Parkinson’s disease and pinpoint FDA-approved drugs that could be repurposed for treatment. The research, published in the journal npj Parkinson’s Disease, employs a systems biology approach. This methodology…

  • AI Outperforms Human Crisis Responders in Empathy: New Study

    Artificial intelligence might be better at displaying empathy than humans, according to a new study conducted by researchers at the University of Toronto Scarborough. The research, published in Communications Psychology, suggests that AI tools like ChatGPT can provide empathetic responses that are rated higher in compassion than those given by both ordinary people and trained…

  • Why Most Companies Fail to Reap the Benefits of AI

    Researchers from Aalto University have uncovered a compelling reason why most companies aren’t reaping the expected benefits from artificial intelligence: it’s not the technology itself, but the emotional and behavioral reactions of employees that pose the real challenges. Although AI has the potential to revolutionize decision-making processes, ignite innovation and significantly enhance employee productivity, many…

  • AI Accurately Simulates Glacier Modeling in the Alps

    In an extraordinary scientific breakthrough, researchers led by the University of Lausanne (UNIL) have harnessed artificial intelligence to significantly accelerate computational modeling of glacier dynamics. By applying cutting-edge AI techniques, the team successfully simulated the ice cover in the Alps during the last glaciation, revealing that previous models had overestimated ice thickness by 35-50%. Their…
