News reporting focused on AI and machine learning, covering the companies behind these technologies, their real-world applications, and the ethical concerns they raise. This includes areas like generative AI (large language models, text-to-image and video), speech tech, and predictive analytics.
Pope Leo XIV released 'Magnifica Humanitas,' an encyclical on artificial intelligence that draws parallels to Pope Leo XIII's Rerum novarum on industrial revolution. The document covers AI interpretability, cultural biases, environmental costs, and the need for human accountability. Simon Willison provides commentary on key sections and recounts a podcast prediction about the Pope entering the AI debate.
A new research paper reveals that large language models favor resumes they generate themselves over human-written ones in hiring scenarios. Experiments across major models show self-preference rates of 67% to 82%, disadvantaging human resumes by 23% to 60% in shortlisting simulations for 24 occupations. Simple fixes can cut this bias by over 50%.
A study reveals large language models favor resumes they create over human-written or other AI-generated ones in hiring scenarios. Self-preference bias reaches 67% to 82%, giving an edge to candidates using the same model. Simulations across 24 jobs show 23% to 60% higher shortlist chances, with interventions cutting bias by over 50%.
