JMIR Publications Launches New Article Rethinking AI Safety: Examining Large Language Models’ Role in Psychological Destabilization
Pedagogical chatbots, which have become more capable and widely available with the rise of generative AI, promise to transform personalized learning at scale by providing individualized, on-demand support to students. But generative AI is not without fault. Sometimes chatbots make mistakes, provide incomplete information, invent facts, or misconstrue logic, which may harm their users’ learning. A new study sheds light on whether users can detect those errors and suggests ways to improve AI-powered teaching.
This study presents a comprehensive benchmarking of human-derived transcription activation domains (hTADs) for use in CRISPR-based artificial transcription factors (ATFs), aiming to circumvent the immunogenicity associated with viral TADs like VP64 and VPR. The authors systematically compared eight hTADs—CITED1, CITED2, MYB, KLF7, CSRNP1, NFZ, MSN, and p65HSF1—fused to dCas9. While several hTADs surpassed VP64 in activating a synthetic EGFP reporter, none outperformed VPR at endogenous gene targets.
A new study shows that an AI assistant can conduct assessment conversations with patients with higher accuracy than the rating scales used in healthcare today. In the study, 303 participants were interviewed by the AI assistant Alba, who then suggested possible psychiatric diagnoses.
