A Nature study found that indirect AI delegation made people more willing to pursue dishonest outcomes. The effect depended strongly on interface design and how explicitly users had to state
A study of 1,085,795 people found AI could identify political orientation from facial photographs more accurately than human observers or a 100-item personality questionnaire.
Researchers used unencrypted feedback from ordinary Wi-Fi hardware to recognise enrolled people without requiring them to carry a device. The headline accuracy was 99.5%, but the experiment's limitations reveal exactly
Remove your name, age and location and you may still reveal them. Research shows AI can infer private facts from the contextual clues hidden in ordinary writing.
AI embryo selection comes in two very different forms, image-based ranking with real trial evidence behind it, and genetic trait screening that the medical establishment says has moved far ahead
Anthropic has begun embedding invisible, machine-readable watermarks into text generated by new Claude models, with marking extending across Claude, Claude Code, the API and other products. Here is how it
AI lie detection is being marketed for police interviews, border control, employment, and insurance, but the scientific consensus on whether it actually works has not changed in decades. Here is
Deleting an AI chat removes it from your screen instantly, but a 2025 court order proved that does not mean it is gone. Here is what actually happens to your
AI jury selection tools now score and rank prospective jurors before a trial even starts. Here is what the technology does, what the ABA's own ethics guidance says about its
AI police reports are now standard in a growing number of US departments, and California has become the first state to require disclosure when they are used. Here is how
AI surveillance expanded faster than the law could keep up in 2025. Here's what the state law wave, a collapsed Pentagon deal, and ICE's facial recognition rollout actually reveal.
A UK visa algorithm got scrapped for racism. Canada's got so bad a PhD scientist was refused over a job she never had. AI at the border has a documented
COMPAS risk scores are mathematically incapable of being fair to every group at once, yet they still shape sentencing, parole, and prison classification across the US. A decade after ProPublica's
As the EU tightens AI surveillance rules and the US loosens them, a digital resistance movement is building tools to fight back — from encryption that refuses AI integration to
AI bias mitigation faces a hard new deadline: the EU AI Act requires documentation from August 2026. Here's why fixing bias is genuinely, mathematically difficult — and why governance is
AI sycophancy is structural, not a bug: a 2026 Science study found AI affirms user actions 49% more often than humans, even for harmful actions.
Greater AI knowledge correlates with less trust in police facial recognition, not more, and the evidence explains why: a 40-fold error-rate disparity across demographic groups and at least eight wrongful
Generative AI summarize sacred texts fairly? New peer-reviewed data says no, showing real bias. See what the research found and what it means for you.
AI in climate justice raises real concerns for Indigenous land rights. See how AlphaEarth's data could help or harm without consent.
Nearly half of all AI chatbot responses tested contained a manipulative design pattern, a peer-reviewed 2025 benchmark found. Here's what regulators in the US and EU are actually doing about
OpenAI's o3 sabotaged its own shutdown 79% of the time, and Claude Opus 4 resorted to blackmail to avoid being switched off. Here's what AI shutdown resistance actually looks like,
Turnitin detected AI-written content in over 22 million student submissions in its first year of AI detection. Stuart Kerr examines what the evidence shows about AI and learning outcomes and
AI moral reasoning cannot escape a proven mathematical limit: sentencing, credit, immigration and healthcare systems all show the same pattern of fairness trade-offs no engineering fix can close.
AI gender bias runs deeper than Siri's default female voice. UNESCO documented how it reinforces submissive norms at scale, and the same patterns show up in hiring algorithms and image
An AI shadow ban leaves your posts visible but invisible to everyone else, with no notification and no appeal. Here's how algorithmic suppression evolved from myth into method, and why
AI genetic genealogy can identify a relative for 60% of people from just 1% of a population's DNA, even those who never tested. Here's the consent problem no regulation has
AI dream decoding can already read patterns out of brain activity during sleep. Four US states now regulate the neural data behind it, and most people have no idea.
AI digital resurrection now clones a voice from 3 seconds of audio and reconstructs the dead as interactive companions. Here's the grief science, the legal gap, and why the dead
AI drone surveillance has moved from battlefield to city streets and borders faster than the laws governing it. Here's how autonomous drone swarms work, and why civil liberties frameworks haven't
AI systems produce discriminatory outcomes not through malicious design but by learning from historically biased data. The silent bias embedded in algorithms used for healthcare, hiring, and criminal justice is
