Russian propaganda about its invasion of Ukraine is affecting AI chatbot accuracyRoman Pilipey/AFP/Getty Artificial intelligence chatbots struggle to consistently provide accurate answers about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and sometimes regurgitate Kremlin propaganda – an especially noticeable problem for Google’s Gemini chatbot. “Increasingly, chatbot users tend to trust the output of these new digital tools,” says Elizaveta Kuznetsova at the Weizenbaum Institute in Germany. “Therefore, the way in which chatbots frame information about current events can have a substantial effect on political attitudes about crucial events, like the ongoing war in Ukraine.” Source link

Some of those rockets fell in the Palestinian enclave after being intercepted by Israel’s Iron Dome missile defences, but caused no human losses, witnesses said. Hezbollah began firing rockets into Israel almost a year ago, in support of its ally Hamas in the war in Gaza, which…

Containers at 36 ports stretching from Maine to Texas piled up on Wednesday, as the dockworkers appeared no closer to a deal with their employers’ group, the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX).

You may have guessed already: it’s AI that’s bringing on such massive change. We could panic at this news (1.4 billion people with the wrong skills), or we could take a step back and consider how maybe the way we work is overdue for a shakeup.I’m optimistic about the “Great Reskill” underway because I know it won’t be just the privileged few who have a chance to remake themselves.
