"On Tuesday, the city released its #crime statistics from Jan. 1 until July 31 of this year, and the picture became considerably more dire—more than 115% worse—for #Seattle #Jews.

Of the 66 #hatecrimes that Seattle recorded in the first seven months of this year, 13 (19.7%) have targeted Jews.

Jews make up about 1% of those who live in the Seattle metro area, according to the Pew Research Center’s 2023-24 Religious Landscape Study.

From January to end of July, 7.2% of all of the 511 hate crimes, crimes with what Seattle calls “#biaselements” and non-crimes that involve #bias which the city has recorded targeted Jews, according to official city data.

Of the 259 crimes with “bias elements,” which the city uses to refer to crimes in which the bias is a secondary motivation, in Seattle so far this year, 11 (4.2%) targeted Jews, and 13 (7%) of the 186 bias incidents have targeted Jews, Seattle data suggests."

Bias in LLM based systems can shape narratives and can influence users’ decision-making in subtle ways that AI literacy alone might not avoid.

The focus is often on obvious discriminatory bias and "false information". However, studies have shown that bias can also change the narrative, even if the content remains factually accurate.

In this edition of our "Papertrail" we look at six studies that deal with such issues.

“The BBC has a well-documented history of extensive pro-Israel bias, with its own reporters complaining that they’ve been performing PR for the Israeli government and its own editor losing a libel lawsuit against a journalist who exposed his pro-Israel slant. They spent years running cover for an active genocide with ‘Hamas-run health ministry says’ headlines and passive-language verbal gymnastics to protect Israeli information interests, so you know that when Lucy Williamson objects ‘That sounds racist!’ to an Israeli settler claiming Jewish lives are worth far more than Palestinian lives, she’s not actually upset at his belief system. She just knows you’re not supposed to say such things out loud”

I've been working on my #homelab and a question bothers me :thaenkin: :

How can we integrate AI without reproducing or amplifying model biases ?

We often say "garbage in, garbage out... (GIGO, 2020)"
:blobpeek:
But is it that simple ?

LLMs reflect their training data, leading their inevitable biases.
Does the model itself have a responsibility or is it 100% to the user ?

I'm digging into the subject. How do you manage this in your projects ?

#Universities are moving away from #AIdetection tools due to concerns about #accuracy, #falsepositives, and #bias. While some institutions are redesigning assessments to emphasise student process and oral components, others still rely on detection. The lack of consistent policies and transparency around AI detection tools fuels student anxiety and raises questions about the role of surveillance in academic integrity. https://www.ft.com/content/49304b1e-8a9d-4fb6-bc4d-37dd3430bb98?AIagents.at #AIagent #AI #ML #NLP #LLM #GenAI

Accepting a hypothesis depends on the importance of being mistaken. It can be considered a judgment with ethics attached.
Without accounting for multiple values and preferences in policy design, scientific insights risk becoming politicized, potentially reinforcing dominant parties’ interests in funneling action while shifting risks to vulnerable populations.
Roger A. Pielke Jr. advocated for taking the role of saying "How about these other ideas?" instead of taking a position on currently debated topics.

Diese Woche befasse ich mich in meinem #Blog mit dem sog. Additive Bias. Was das ist, und was #Lego damit zu tun hat, könnt ihr hier nachlesen:

🏗️ Warum wir lieber ergänzen als weglassen

Eine wacklige Lego-Brücke steht am Anfang einer Reihe psychologischer Experimente. Der Ingenieur Leidy Klotz baute sie gemeinsam mit seinem dreijährigen Sohn. Einer der beiden Pfeiler war zu kurz, die Brücke deshalb instabil. Klotz griff in die Kiste, um einen passenden Stein zu suchen. Sein Sohn löste das Problem anders: Er nahm einen Stein vom längeren Pfeiler weg. Die Brücke war nun stabil, obwohl sie aus weniger Teilen bestand. Oder genauer: weil sie aus weniger Teilen bestand.
