Cross-time associations among technology acceptance, disability-related attitudes, and social problem-solving in university students with learning disabilities | Scientific Reports - Nature

AbstractAs AI chatbots are increasingly being used in education contexts and digital modalities are increasingly being used in depression assessment research, it is important to understand human perspectives and bias. My research started in two main areas: exploring AI chatbot acceptability at Bryant University and comparing digital depression assessment datasets. For the former research area, we surveyed faculty, staff, and students about their AI chatbot use and perceptions at the end of 2023 and 2025. While usage increased over the two years, support of AI chatbots in education remained relatively consistent. For the latter research area, we identified observational datasets for depression assessment collected by smartphones (n=80), wearable technology (n=80), and cameras (n=63). Women comprised the majority of participants across all three modalities, with patients less frequently recruited for smartphone datasets and the elderly more frequently recruited for wearable technology datasets. Missing dataset details were prevalent, raising concerns regarding the ability to assess the bias and generalizability of models constructed on these datasets.

Classic gems, tasteful customs, legendary supercars - for Silvian, they're all fair game. He's been in love with cars and motorcycles for as long as he can remember, so it made perfect sense to eventually turn that passion into a full-time writing career. Around six years and more than 3,000 articles later, he is still going strong and doesn't plan on hitting the brakes anytime soon. Argentina is a country known for its natural beauty, soccer legends, and chainsaw-wielding president, but it probably isn’t the first place you’d expect a rad V8 supercar to be developed. However, that assumption might change once you learn about a company called Valtor, the brainchild of engineer-turned-CEO Sergio Arias. He leads a small but ambitious team of designers and engineers like himself, who’d previously caught people’s attention with the Azor GT concept last year. Now they’re back at it once again with the Eaglon, an evolution of the Azor and something that could easily be mistaken for a Ferrari by those who don’t know their automotive lore.

There's currently some tension between the video game industry and the proliferation of AI tools. You can see the evidence of this in a recent development regarding the upcoming indie game Drunken Goddess Reflux. It's a game with the objective of imbibing alcohol until a demon vomits up her soul, a decidedly unique premise that would be hard for any AI to come up with. As spotted by Rock Paper Shotgun, though, the developers had to cancel an upcoming public demo session. The decision is partly due to concerns that AI could quickly clone it for someone else's financial benefit. Instead, they will hold closed sessions for a "limited number of participants. "
