X Previews Labels That Tell Users Why...
X’s AI-powered content moderation system once mistakenly labeled a post featuring an image of a SpaceX rocket launch as “adult content.” No one, including the author of the post, could see why.  That’s the problem Michael O’Herlihy, a Twitter veteran who recently rejoined X as head of safety, wants to fix. In the future, X’s content moderation systems may show their decisioning process, he suggested at the Brand & AI Safety Summit in New York on Tuesday (Nov. 10)....

The LISA (Laser Interferometer Space...

The 3 Paths to Being a Better...
Every CMO knows the drill: as a brand scales, founders and the executive committee reach out asking how to spot true marketing leadership in a sea of impressive resumes.

When I was hired by my CEO, he said 10 words I will never forget: “It’s not...

Eating less protein could slow aging, review...
Protein is everywhere these days. From breakfast cereals and coffee to bottled water, manufacturers are adding extra protein to an expanding range of everyday products.

Louis Rossmann Wants More People to Care...
I love my old iPhone 14, but I’m starting to face the facts: It’s going to die. The battery is about to go; apps take longer to load than they used to. Some of it I can fix. I can go to the Genius Bar and swap the battery. Maybe I could even do it myself; that’d buy me some time. But eventually, Apple won’t support this wildly expensive device at all, and there’s not much I can do...

The AI Safety Debate Has Lost the...
In early fall, I felt my anxiety rising from its usual baseline. Was it September’s back-to-school energy? The looming midterm elections? Nope, I realized with annoyance: It was AI—again. Only this time, instead of its purveyors warning of massive job displacement, they were foretelling mass extinction. Who needs jobs when we’re all dead?

In postcolonial Ghana, a fresh start but...
It was a landmark in history: In 1957, Ghana became the first sub-Saharan African state to achieve independence from colonial rule, having previously been under the control of Great Britain.  But gaining political independence does not mean the past is left behind, and there has long been public debate about the many long-term effects of the colonial period on state and society in subsequent decades.   Now, an empirically rich study explores one aspect of the Ghanaian state, the composition...
