As artificial intelligence creeps further into people’s daily lives, so do worries about it. At the most alarmist are concerns about AI going rogue and terminating its human masters. But behind the calls for a pause on the development of AI is a suite of more tangible social ills. Among them are the risks AI poses to people’s privacy and dignity and the inevitable fact that, because the algorithms under AI’s hood are programmed by humans, it is just as biased and discriminatory as many of us. Throw in the lack of transparency about how AI is designed, and by whom, and it’s easy to understand w...

A new study published in Frontiers in Psychology investigates how AI compares to human psychologists in understanding and responding to human emotions and needs during counseling. The study specifically examined large language models, such as ChatGPT-4, Google Bard, and Bing, assessing their social intelligence — a critical skill in psychotherapy. ChatGPT-4 outperformed all participating psychologists, while Bing surpassed more than half of them. However, Google Bard’s performance was comparable only to psychologists seeking bachelor’s degrees and was significantly outstripped by doctoral stud...

Scientists have demonstrated that facial recognition technology can predict a person’s political orientation with a surprising level of accuracy. Their research, published in the journal American Psychologist, shows that even neutral facial expressions can hold clues to someone’s political beliefs. This finding poses significant privacy concerns, especially since facial recognition can operate without an individual’s consent. Facial recognition technology is a form of artificial intelligence that identifies and verifies individuals by analyzing patterns based on their facial features. At its c...

A new study examining behavioral and personality responses produced by different versions of ChatGPT found that they are statistically indistinguishable from those of humans. Additionally, ChatGPT showed response patterns indicating higher levels of altruism and cooperativeness compared to an average human. The paper was published in PNAS. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence model developed by OpenAI, designed to generate human-like text based on the input it receives. It uses a form of machine learning known as a transformer, specifically trained on a diverse range of internet text. The mod...

A recent study has found that scientific citations generated by ChatGPT often do not correspond to real academic work. The study, published in the Canadian Psychological Association’s Mind Pad, found that “false citation rates” across various psychology subfields ranged from 6% to 60%. Surprisingly, these fabricated citations feature elements such as legitimate researchers’ names and properly formatted digital object identifiers (DOIs), which could easily mislead both students and researchers. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence language model developed by OpenAI, which is capable of generat...

In the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence, a new study published in PLOS One has shed light on an unexpected capability of large language models like ChatGPT: their ability to mimic the cognitive and linguistic abilities of children. Researchers have found that these advanced AI systems can simulate lower levels of intelligence, specifically child-like language and understanding, particularly in tasks designed to test the theory of mind. Large language models are advanced artificial intelligence systems designed to understand, generate, and interact using natural human language....

A recent study published in the journal PNAS Nexus sheds light on the impact of text-to-image generative AI tools like Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and DALL-E on the artistic process. The researchers discovered that these AI systems tend to enhance artists’ productivity and lead to more favorable evaluations of their work by peers. Interestingly, while the average novelty in AI-assisted artwork content declined over time, peak content novelty increased. The findings point to the possibility of “generative synesthesia,” a blending of human creativity and AI capabilities to unlock heightened le...

A new study published in PNAS used advanced AI to examine whether male and female brains can be differentiated by analyzing brain activity patterns. Srikanth Ryali and colleagues found significant and consistent differences between the sexes in certain brain areas, suggesting that these differences are meaningful and have implications for personalized medical approaches. Sex plays an important role in brain development, aging, and the onset and progression of psychiatric and neurological disorders. For example, females are more likely to suffer from depression, anxiety, and eating disorders, w...

Students tend to turn to ChatGPT, a generative artificial intelligence tool, when faced with increased academic workload and time constraints, according to new research published in the International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education. The study also reveals a concerning trend: reliance on ChatGPT is linked to procrastination, memory loss, and a decline in academic performance. These findings shed light on the role of generative AI in education, suggesting both its widespread use and potential drawbacks. The motivation behind this research stems from the explosive growth of ...

In a recent groundbreaking study, researchers have taken significant strides toward decoding brain activity, marking a substantial advance in the development of brain-machine interfaces. By harnessing an artificial intelligence (AI) image recognition algorithm, the team from Kobe University successfully predicted mouse movement based solely on brain functional imaging data, boasting an impressive accuracy rate of 95%. The findings have been published in PLoS Computational Biology. The motivation behind this study lies in the ongoing quest to decode neural signals, which is essential for the de...
