AI Bias Is Woven by Human Choices, Not Just Code

AI bias arises not only from algorithms but from the human decisions shaping data, design, and deployment. Studies show AI systems like GPT-4 and Copilot favored male, younger, and lighter-skinned candidates, reflecting how language, imagery, and institutional data influence outputs. To prevent harm, we need an inclusive AI ecosystem with diverse data, cross-disciplinary understanding, participation from affected groups, and stronger governance that centers human rights—beyond purely technical fixes.

AI’s New Frontier: Could Machines Draft Tomorrow’s Theorems?

AI’s New Frontier: Could Machines Draft Tomorrow’s Theorems?

Generative AI is reshaping mathematics by accelerating discoveries across geometry, cryptography, and coding theory (OpenAI’s Astra highlighted with ten advances). This has sparked debates on attribution, correctness, and what constitutes mathematical creativity, as AI-assisted work floods journals and arXiv. Mathematicians diverge on how to integrate AI: some ethically exclude it, others embrace it as a collaborator. Case studies show both paths—one team avoided AI, another used it to achieve in 43 hours what previously took years—leading to joint papers. The field is grappling with how to reconcile AI's capabilities with transparency, integrity, and human collaborative values, signaling a nuanced future for math where machines help but human discernment remains central.

ChatGPT stops cloning authors' exact voices, favors broad stylistic cues

OpenAI’s ChatGPT will no longer directly imitate living authors’ exact voices, instead offering original text that captures broad stylistic cues while maintaining its own voice. The shift, tied to ongoing copyright lawsuits and debates over training data, could have legal implications if imitators become substantially similar to a source. While the policy aims to curb infringement, other AI models vary in how closely they copy styles, highlighting broader questions about AI-generated writing and author rights.

Nolan Slams AI as ‘Slop,’ Urges Tangible Storytelling

Director Christopher Nolan criticized AI in a Telegraph interview, saying the younger generation rapidly rejects the tech and praising two YouTube‑founded directors for their ambivalence toward it. He argues filmmakers should favor tactile, real-world storytelling after years of virtual environments, noting Gen Z’s quick judgment of AI and citing his own children. He also references industry moves like Scorsese’s AI storyboard partnership and A24’s Google collaboration as context for the ongoing AI conversation.

Sega's Crazy Taxi Reboot Faces Backlash Over Generative AI Backgrounds

Sega disclosed that Crazy Taxi: World Tour used Generative AI to assist with background assets, but the team says AI was only a reference tool and final assets were created by human artists. The disclosure sparked online backlash over AI use in games, with critics raising concerns about IP theft and job displacement, while Sega emphasizes human review and creative control.

Pope Leo XIV Warns AI Could Warp Humanity and Demands New Guidelines

The Vatican's Magnifica Humanitas encyclical warns AI is not neutral and could warp humanity by eroding judgment, simulating care without genuine relationships, heightening inequality, destabilizing democracy through disinformation, and easing war; it calls for human-centered, bottom-up AI guidelines and global governance to keep technology aligned with human dignity.

Microsoft doubles down on responsible AI as fast-track race accelerates

Microsoft formalizes its responsible-tech push by consolidating accessibility, safety, privacy and other initiatives into a new Trusted Technology Group led by Jenny Lay-Flurrie, emphasizing ‘build it right and keep it right’ even as the AI race intensifies. The effort includes correcting biased AI representations of blind people by training on anonymized Be My Eyes data, underscoring the need for human oversight and rapid iteration. While Microsoft reorganizes and invests in AI infrastructure amid broader tech layoffs, Lay-Flurrie argues for accountability and inclusivity, with input from disabled communities to ensure AI remains trustworthy and accessible for all.

Vatican and Anthropic spark a moral AI debate ahead of papal encyclical

Vatican and Anthropic spark a moral AI debate ahead of papal encyclical

The Vatican has long engaged with Silicon Valley on AI ethics, culminating in Pope Leo XIV’s forthcoming encyclical on artificial intelligence that will be unveiled with Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah. The Vatican’s ‘Minerva Dialogues’ and the Center on Digital Culture laid groundwork for ongoing discussions with Anthropic and other faith leaders about embedding ethical perspectives into AI, including ideas like Claude’s constitution and even a forgiveness-like mechanism for AI. While the move signals a global, faith-informed approach to AI governance, critics warn of “ethics washing” and concerns over regulatory influence and military use; Anthropic itself faces scrutiny over defense partnerships and a major copyright settlement. The overall goal is to shape the public debate and policy around AI ethics, leveraging Vatican credibility to influence Silicon Valley and policymakers alike.

Pope Leo XIV Charts Catholic Response to AI Era with New Encyclical

Pope Leo XIV is poised to sign his first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, reframing AI as a defining moral and labor issue and urging that technology serve people—protecting workers, creativity, and moral agency. The document, linked to the Rerum Novarum anniversary, would mark an active Vatican role in AI ethics and labor rights, building on existing Vatican AI guidelines and prior warnings about AI's risks. The official announcement is expected May 22.

DeepMind London Staff Vote to Unionize Over Military AI Deployments

DeepMind London Staff Vote to Unionize Over Military AI Deployments

London-based Google DeepMind employees have voted to form a union (with CWU and Unite) to represent staff and press Google to block or limit the use of its AI in military settings, including resisting deals with the US and Israeli militaries. The move follows Alphabet removing a pledge against weaponization from its ethics guidelines and comes amid broader concern about DoD use of AI. If recognized, the unions would push for more transparency and related protections (such as layoffs tied to automation) and, if Google does not engage, could pursue arbitration; the effort is part of a wider wave of labor action in frontier AI labs that could spur similar moves elsewhere.
