How the risk of AI weapons could spiral out of control

Sometimes AI isn’t as clever as we think it is. Researchers training an algorithm to identify skin cancer thought they had succeeded until they discovered that it was using the presence of a ruler to help it make predictions. Specifically, their data set consisted of images where a pathologist had put in a ruler to measure the size of malignant lesions. It extended this logic for predicting malignancies to all images beyond the data set, consequently identifying benign tissue as malignant if a ruler was in the image. The problem here is not that the AI algorithm made a mistake.

But we believe Apple still has more up it’s sleeve: the M4 MacBook Air. Assuming Apple does announce the upgraded MacBook Air this week, we have some idea of what to expect thanks to a report from 9to5 Mac, and it’s more than just a new processor. Here’s what the newest Apple MacBook Air should offer: M4 Chip (Image credit: Future / Apple) The most obvious feature is the

How many episodes should you watch before giving up on a TV show (and what do statistics say)?

In a nutshell: Not all television shows are created equal. Even among those that are universally praised, it can take a handful of episodes or more before a series sets its hook and starts reeling you in. This leads to a question that many have no doubt pondered over the years: how many episodes should you give a series before cutting your losses and moving on? Daniel Parris from Stat Significant recently set out to answer this age-old question. To quantify it, Parris looked at IMDb user ratings (ranging from 1 to 10) for Friends and found the average to

Humanities teaching will have to adapt to AI | Artificial intelligence (AI)

I agree with Prof Andrew Moran and Dr Ben Wilkinson (Letters, 2 March) that cheap and easy‑to‑use AI tools create problems for universities, but the reactions of many academics to these new developments remind me of the way some people responded to the arrival of cheap pocket calculators in the 1970s. Reports of the imminent death of maths teaching in schools proved exaggerated. Maths teachers had to adapt, not least to teach students the longstanding rule “garbage in, garbage out”; if students had no idea of the fundamental principles and ideas behind maths, they would not realise their answer was meaningless.
