The societal stakes of artificial intelligence (AI)’s deployment continues to rise exponentially. Alongside the promised efficiency and innovation, the proliferation of AI systems has also generated a growing number of incidents where these systems malfunction,...
The nonprofit AI Futures Project has released ‘AI 2027’, a detailed scenario forecasting how artificial intelligence might progress from 2024 through 2027 and into 2028. It’s been described as “a well rendered technically-astute narrative of the next few years of AI...
As frontier AI systems advance toward superhuman capabilities, their developers increasingly acknowledge the potentially catastrophic consequences of failure. The three leading labs – OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind – are planning to mitigate these...
It has been over a year since the publication of the paper Harms from Increasingly Agentic Algorithmic Systems published in the FAccT Proceedings of the ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency. The paper has since then received significant...
Predictive analytics is becoming increasingly prevalent in the use of AI in education, especially in identifying struggling students who may need interventions to succeed. Machine learning models analyse large datasets to predict student outcomes, such as likelihood...
Large language models (LLMs) have revolutionised natural language processing (NLP) with their ability to generate human-like text at an unprecedented scale. These models enable advancements in fields ranging from customer service to education and content generation....
