My colleagues and I at Purdue University have uncovered a significant imbalance in the human values embedded in AI systems. The systems were predominantly oriented toward information and utility values and less toward prosocial, well-being and civic values. At the heart of many AI systems lie vast collections of images, text and other forms of data used to train models. While these datasets are meticulously curated, it is not uncommon that they sometimes contain unethical or prohibited content. To ensure AI systems do not use harmful content when responding [...]

If you rely on AI to recommend what to watch, read, or buy, new research indicates that some systems may be basing these results from memory rather than skill: instead of learning to make useful sugge [...]

AI models are only as good as the data they're trained on. That data generally needs to be labeled, curated and organized before models can learn from it in an effective way.One of the big missin [...]
