New research from Princeton and the University of Chicago shows that AI can develop prejudices in the hiring process faster than humans might.

AI can invent its own hiring bias — and it happens fast, new study finds
Researchers found AI models stereotyped job candidates more than humans did. A Phoenix jobs expert says AI interviews are already common here.

Could geometry could be the key to unlock human-like intelligence in AI? 📐🧠 @timbuschman.bsky.social, @gautamreddy.bsky.social and Adel Ardalan dive into how neural networks use geometry to help models understand the world instead of just pattern-match it. On our blog now: bit.ly/49COIw8
On the left, the human brain represents the concept of a cat using a fluid, ring-like geometry, suggesting flexible, abstract generalization. A single cat icon floats nearby, enough for the brain to “get it”. On the right, the AI “brain” relies on raw data: a matrix of identical cat images and streams of binary code.
