AI summaries can downplay medical issues for female patients, UK research finds

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-06 03:29:44

The latest example of bias permeating artificial intelligence comes from the medical field. A new study surveyed real case notes from 617 adult social care workers in the UK and found that when large language models summarized the notes, they were more likely to omit language such as "disabled," "unable" or "complex" when the patient was tagged as female, which could lead to women receiving insufficient or inaccurate medical care.

Reddit Is Blocking the Wayback Machine From Archiving Posts

gizmodo.com Bruce Gil 2025-12-06 03:15:49

Reddit is blocking the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine from indexing most of its site, after discovering that AI companies were scraping its data from the digital time capsule. The move comes as Reddit tightens its grip on user data. The company doesn’t mind AI firms training their models on Reddit posts, but they have to pay first. Reddit previously said it wouldn’t restrict “good faith actors” like the Internet Archive, but now it believes some are helping AI firms dodge licensing fees. Re

Nvidia’s Six-Word Response to China

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-12-06 03:16:50

Nvidia is on the defensive. Just as the AI giant secured a fragile, high-stakes deal to resume selling its specialized chips to China, the company is now being forced to fight back against accusations from Chinese state media that its products are a national security threat. The attack, which came just hours after the deal with the Trump administration was reported, puts Nvidia in a geopolitical vise, caught between a skeptical Washington and a newly hostile Beijing.

Trump Demands a Cut for Nvidia and AMD’s Access to China

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-12-06 00:55:28

Nvidia and AMD have reportedly agreed to pay the U.S. government a 15% cut of their revenue from their specialized chip sales in China, in a deal so unconventional the business world is still reeling. The arrangement, effectively a new kind of “export tax,” is an unprecedented move that ends a months-long blockade and reopens one of the world’s largest markets for America’s two most valuable chipmakers.

Where before IA's Wayback Machine dependably archived Reddit pages, profiles, and comments—as part of its mission to archive the Internet—moving forward, only screenshots of the Reddit homepage will be archived.
