The Economist: AI could accelerate scientific fraud as well as progress
AI has the potential to accelerate scientific fraud as well as progress in science and technology. By breaking the guardrails of large language models (LLMs), researchers were able to prompt AI to produce false academic articles. AI also poses risks of academic misconduct, biased models, and the pollution of data. The use of AI-generated content, such as images and text, can lead to issues like model collapse and limited understanding of the inner workings of machine learning systems. The incentives in the scientific community, such as publishing quantity over quality, can encourage exploitation and fraud.
The Economist: Why prosthetic limbs need not look like real ones
Scientists and designers are experimenting with unconventional designs for prosthetic limbs, inspired by the concept of embodiment. Recent research suggests that prosthetic limbs do not need to mimic biological limbs to be effective, as the brain perceives prosthetics as separate from both biological hands and hand-held tools. This opens up opportunities for innovative and striking designs that challenge traditional notions of what prosthetics should look like. Furthermore, new advancements in robotic prostheses controlled by artificial tendons, such as a third thumb, have the potential to augment the capabilities of existing bodies and be used by anyone, not just amputees.
