Predictions of AI-powered models strictly trial-specific, have no generalisability: Study

[ad_1] AI-powered prediction models made accurate predictions within the trial they were developed in, but gave "random predictions" outside of it, according to a new research. Researchers said the study showed that generalisations of predictions of artificial intelligence-based models across different study centres cannot be ensured at the moment and that these models were "highly context-dependent". Results of the study have been published in the journal Science.Pooling data from across trials too did not help matters, the team found. The team of researchers, including those from the universities of Cologne (Germany) and Yale (US), were testing the accuracy of AI-driven models in predicting the response of schizophrenic patients to antipsychotic medication across several independent c...

AI threat alert: Artificial intelligence risks need to be better understood and managed

[ad_1] While artificial intelligence (AI) is capable of transforming societies in positive ways, it also presents risks that need to be better understood and managed, new research has warned. Joe Burton, a professor at Lancaster University, UK, contends that AI and algorithms are more than mere tools used by national security agencies to thwart malicious online activities. In a research paper recently published in the Technology in Society Journal, Burton suggests that AI and algorithms can also fuel polarisation, radicalism, and political violence, thereby becoming a threat to national security themselves. “AI is often framed as a tool to be used to counter violent extremism. Here is the other side of the debate,” said Burton. The paper looks at how AI has been securitised throughout...

Astronomers Discovers 2 Super-Earths Orbiting A Distant Star

[ad_1] The astronomers have so far spotted around 5,000 exoplanets. (Representative Image)In a recent discovery, astronomers have spotted 2 new exoplanets orbiting a star located 100 light years away from Earth, according to a report by Space.com. The two new exoplanets are called Super-Earths, which is around 30 per cent larger than Earth, and orbit the dwarf star in 2.7 Earth days. The first planet is designated as LP 890-9b and second as LP 890-9c. The second planet is 40 per cent larger than Earth, and it completes the orbit in just 8.5 Earth days. Astronomers have noted that the second planet exists in the habitable zone of the host star. The study was published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics. The celestial objects were identified as exoplanets by the Transiting Exopla...
