Da #KI ein Abbild ihrer Trainingsdaten ist und gesellschaftliche Werte und Normen repliziert, weisen die Autorinnen darauf hin, dass fรผr das Abmildern eines solchen Bias technisch-mathematische und politisch-ethische Expertise nรถtig ist. Zum Papier:

Pitt to pause PhD admissions, following Vanderbilt and USC, because of uncertainty of NIH funding to academic universities.
Who will teach and train US scientists for pharma and biotech? Should we import them from countries that do?

How much do you know about the trailblazing scientist Barbara McClintock?
McClintock's pioneering research was rejected by the scientific community but she didn't give up. Watch our video to learn more about this remarkable laureate who was born on this day 122 years ago.
