Kate Hartley @katehartley.bsky.social · 10/02/2025I just asked Meta's AI about the risks of bias in AI, and it tells me it's important to have diverse and representative data and human oversight/review to mitigate risks including erosion of trust. Also that fact-checking is critical in mitigating bias, including human fact-checking. The irony 030
Kate Hartley @katehartley.bsky.social · 10/02/2025Researching AI bias, and came across this research from UCL. Short version: if you look at biased data from AI, you're more likely to take on that bias, and you may use it to train AI, leading to more bias. And repeat. www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/de...ucl.ac.ukBias in AI amplifies our own biasesArtificial intelligence (AI) systems tend to take on human biases and amplify them, causing people who use that AI to become more biased themselves, finds a new study by UCL researchers. 040

Kate Hartley @katehartley.bsky.social · 03/12/2024One of the things teams always say to us during a crisis simulation is “We were too slow - we thought we had more time!” There’s a reason for that. And it’s why we all need a challenger in our crisis teams - to keep time and hold us to account polpeo.com/why-every-cr...polpeo.comWhy every crisis team needs a challenger, holding the team to account | PolpeoWhen we run simulation exercises, almost every team says the same thing: “We were too slow to act.
