A University of Kansas interdisciplinary team led by relationship psychologist Omri Gillath has published a new paper in the journal Computers in Human Behavior showing people’s trust in artificial intelligence (AI) is tied to their relationship or attachment style.
The research indicates for the first time that people who are anxious about their relationships with humans tend to have less trust in AI as well. Importantly, the research also suggests trust in artificial intelligence can be increased by reminding people of their secure relationships with other humans. Read More

AI researchers use heartbeat detection to identify deepfake videos
Facebook and Twitter earlier this week took down social media accounts associated with the Internet Research Agency, the Russian troll farm that interfered in the U.S. presidential election four years ago, that had been spreading misinformation to up to 126 million Facebook users. Today, Facebook rolled out measures aimed at curbing disinformation ahead of Election Day in November. Deepfakes can make epic memes or put Nicholas Cage in every movie, but they can also undermine elections. As threats of election interference mount, two teams of AI researchers have recently introduced novel approaches to identifying deepfakes by watching for evidence of heartbeats. Read More

AI (Artificial Intelligence) Lessons From The World Series
I’m a lifelong Dodgers fan and I waited for 32 years for the team to win another World Series. But during this period of time, the sport has certainly seen much change. With the availability of huge amounts of data, sophisticated computers and advanced analytics, the strategies have become increasingly based on the numbers. It seems that AI (Artificial Intelligence) has dominated the decision making process.
We got an example of this in the crucial Game 6 of the World Series. Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash took out pitcher Blake Snell from the game, even though he was nearly flawless. Read More
