Humans in the loop are not enough to fix algorithms. When push comes to shove, companies choose profits over people. The latest example: UnitedHealth forced employees to cut off care based on an algorithm's prediction. If they disagree, they're fired. statnews.com/2023/11/14/uni…

I have lost count of how many meetings I’ve attended warning about the danger of AI in the classroom. But over the weekend I found myself grading student papers…many of which showed clear signs of AI. Some thoughts on this underwhelming experience… librarianshipwreck.wordpress.com/2023/10/17/oka…

Montreat College's @montreatcollege Cybersecurity Oath is something to check out: montreat.edu/cyber-oath/ - "I will...exercise patience toward others who make errors." is particularly noteworthy to see in an oath. Thoughts?

Psychological safety is key to changing attitudes. Feeling psychologically safe can make people more open-minded, increase introspection, and decrease defensive processing. It can lead to attitude change, even without any attempt at persuasion frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

There is a lot of false speculation about what drives scientific fraud. Misconduct policies, academic culture and career stage are linked to scientific fraud, not gender or publication pressure. To fix science, we need to target the actual problem! journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

A fun thing about academia is that it’s really difficult to take a sick day if it falls on a day you teach. Which means I’m getting ready to go teach all afternoon while struggling with a really bad migraine that I’m barely keeping in check. Good times.

It's getting more difficult to study social media — for everything from election information to natural disaster and public health communications. TikTok's new research program could help, but the terms of service limit academic work. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
