Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming our world at an unprecedented pace. However, as AI becomes more ingrained in our daily lives, concerns about bias and fairness in AI models continue to grow. In response to these issues, the field of ethical, prompt engineering has emerged as a vital tool in ensuring AI applications are transparent, fair, and trustworthy. This blog post will explore ethical, prompt engineering, discussing its role in mitigating AI bias and providing real-world examples to showcase its…

Warnings from privacy, bias, toxicity, misinformation and IP issuesFigure 1: The scope of responsible AIGC.IntroductionAI Generated Content (AIGC) has received tremendous attention within the past few years, with content ranging from image, text, to audio, video, etc. Meanwhile, AIGC has become a double-edged sword and recently received much criticism regarding its responsible usage. In this vision paper, we focus on three main risks that may hinder the healthy development and deployment of AIGC in practice, including…

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer and cause of cancer-related death among American men. Researchers have identified crucial molecular factors that contribute to the development of an extremely aggressive form known as neuroendocrine prostate cancer, which currently lacks effective treatments. This discovery opens up new possibilities for developing therapeutics to combat this aggressive form of the disease.Neuronal Molecule Makes Prostate Cancer More AggressiveResearchers discover a potential therapeutic…

A new study has determined that altering a cellular process can lead stem cells to die or regenerate. The findings, published in the journal Cell Stem Cell, may assist in the development of new drugs that can manipulate this process to slow or stop cancer from growing and spreading, and enable regeneration in the context of other diseases.Altering a cellular process can lead stem cells—cells from which other cells in the body develop—to die or regenerate, according to a new study led by Cedars-Sinai and the University of…

CHICAGO — As a kid, Kevin Fair would take apart his Nintendo console, troubleshoot issues and put it back together again — experiences the Black entrepreneur says represented “a life trajectory changing moment” when he realized the entertainment system was more than a toy. “I think I was just genuinely inspired by digital technology,” he said. Motivated by his love for video games, Fair learned to code and fix computers. In 2009, he started I Play Games!, a Chicago-based business that exposes young people of color to a…

The has issued stark warning that, under current policies, the planet is falling far short of the Paris Agreement goal of keeping the rise in global temperatures below 1.5 degrees Celsius. That's the threshold scientists say we have to remain under in order to , such as heatwaves, droughts and tropical storms. Under current policies, the UN suggests we're nowhere close to meeting that climate change target and that there's "no credible pathway to 1.5C in place." The UN it released just a week before the start of the…

Sometimes called the cellular recycling system, lysosomes are tiny structures that break down and clear away molecular waste to keep cells young and fresh. For this reason, they have been implicated in many age-related diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, but a new understanding of the way these organelles repair themselves could lead to new ways to stop such conditions in their tracks."Lysosome damage is a hallmark of aging and many diseases, particularly neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's,"…

An incredible study published in Nature has reported the discovery of a novel gut-brain pathway that drives our appetite for fatty foods. The research found cells in our gut sense the presence of fat in food and can directly talk to parts of our brain to make us keep eating.As humans, our deep-seated preference for high-calorie, fatty foods is a product of evolution. To avoid starvation, our bodies are geared to make us overeat when we get the opportunity to indulge in a fatty meal.A number of different mechanisms switch…

A new study has found an old antipsychotic drug blocks a signaling pathway that has been linked to chronic neuropathic pain. The surprising findings not only point to novel future treatments for pain but reveal an unexpected association between chronic pain and lung cancer.“Chronic pain is currently subjected to often ineffective palliative treatments,” said co-corresponding author Clifford Woolf, explaining the origins of the research. “Furthermore, effective painkillers such as opioids can lead, if used inappropriately,…
