Robots in workplace contribute to burnout, job insecurity
Working alongside robots may contribute to job burnout and workplace incivility, but self-affirmation techniques could help alleviate fears about being replaced by these machines, according to new research.
How AI and machine learning are changing the phishing game
Bad actors are using AI and machine learning to up their phishing game, and we must address this now, or the game will exceed our reach.
How a flawed biometrics research project exposed AI ethical issues, singled out LGBTQ+ individuals
Flaws in a facial recognition dataset that was discovered by researchers highlight just some ways in which biometrics tech can cause harm to LGBTQ+ individuals.
Mathematical formula tackles complex moral decision-making in AI
An interdisciplinary team of researchers has developed a blueprint for creating algorithms that more effectively incorporate ethical guidelines into artificial intelligence (AI) decision-making programs. The project was focused specifically on technologies in which humans interact with AI programs, such as virtual assistants or "carebots" used in healthcare settings.
AI-driven 'thermal attack' system reveals computer and smartphone passwords in seconds
Computer security experts have developed a system capable of guessing computer and smartphone users' passwords in seconds by analyzing the traces of heat their fingertips leave on keyboards and screens.
Common approach to demystify black box AI not ready for prime time
Artificial intelligence models that interpret medical images hold the promise to enhance clinicians' ability to make accurate and timely diagnoses, while also lessening workload by allowing busy physicians to focus on critical cases and delegate rote tasks to AI.
