People remain “blissfully ignorant” of AI use in everyday messages, new research shows

Published by José Betancourt

A recent study published in Computers in Human Behavior has found that people evaluate others harshly when they know a message was written using artificial intelligence. Yet, individuals tend to remain completely unaware of potential artificial intelligence use in everyday situations. When left in the dark about how a message was created, recipients assume a human wrote it and form positive impressions of the sender. Generative artificial intelligence refers to computer programs that can produce realistic, human-like text based on simple user instructions. People increasingly use these tools (such as Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini) to draft emails, social media posts, and text messages. Scientists Jiaqi Zhu and Andras Molnar wanted to explore how relying on these programs affects how we view one another in daily life. Usually, writing a thoughtful message requires time and mental energy. These efforts signal a sender’s sincerity and investment in a relationship. Because text-generating programs remove this effort, the researchers wanted to know if the availability of these tools makes people more suspicious of the messages they receive. Past studies …

Legal migrants remain vulnerable to trafficking | Migration

Published by Sam Flores

Every year, hundreds of thousands of people enter wealthy countries on temporary work visas, hoping to earn a living and support their families. For many, those visas undoubtedly offer a chance to earn more money and build a more stable life. But for others, they become another source of vulnerability and abuse. Consider the case of Larisa. While browsing Facebook, she found an advertisement promising domestic work in Germany, a good salary and paid travel expenses. A mother of three from a remote village in Moldova, she left her children behind to chase that opportunity and lift her family out of poverty. But when she arrived, the reality was very different. She was taken to a remote town, housed with other women and stripped of control over her documents. For a year, she says, she was forced to clean homes and care for elderly people for up to 20 hours a day without pay and under constant watch. The International Organization for Migration later identified her case as an example of trafficking through a seemingly …

Tehran, Iran – Iranian authorities say the United States needs to do more if an agreement is to be made to end the war as they urge their supporters to maintain control of the streets. The US delegation at Saturday’s marathon talks in Islamabad, Pakistan, “ultimately failed to gain the trust of the Iranian delegation in this round of negotiations”, said Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the parliament speaker who led the Iranian team. Recommended Stories list of 3 itemsend of list US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the US Navy will immediately begin the process of “blockading any and all ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz” in Iran’s southern waters. He also said the US military remains “locked and loaded” and will “finish up” Iran at the “appropriate moment”. The fact that the Iranian delegation did not accede to Washington’s core demands of eliminating nuclear enrichment on Iranian soil and ending Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz was welcomed by Iranian authorities on Sunday as they projected defiance.

Cognitive dissonance helps explain why Trump supporters remain loyal, new research suggests

Cognitive dissonance helps explain why Trump supporters remain loyal, new research suggests

Published by José Betancourt

A recent study published in the Journal of Social and Political Psychology sheds light on how supporters of Donald Trump justify their continued allegiance despite learning about allegations of his sexual misconduct and illegal activities. The research suggests that when people face information that conflicts with their deeply held beliefs, they tend to reduce their mental discomfort by denying the allegations, focusing on policies over personal behavior, or claiming that other politicians commit similar acts. The scientists initiated this research to understand a specific political dynamic. They noticed that Donald Trump tends to retain widespread support even after facing severe accusations, including accounts of sexual misconduct, abuse of power, and efforts to overturn the 2020 election that culminated in the January 6 Capitol attack. To make sense of how voters mentally navigate this conflicting information, the researchers examined the situation using the psychological concept of cognitive dissonance. “I was motivated by real-life experiences. I’ve been puzzled and confused by the continuing support and admiration that Donald Trump’s supporters hold for him, despite the many accusations …

ISIS fighters have escape camps in Syria, but families remain detained : NPR

Children ride a bicycle and play in the Roj camp in a Kurdish-held territory in northeast Syria in March. The detention camp houses wives and children of ISIS members. Claire Harbage/NPR hide caption toggle caption Claire Harbage/NPR ROJ CAMP, Syria — This isolated detention camp doesn’t look like it would be a legacy of the once-powerful militant group ISIS. Children play in the bare spaces between tattered tents. A boy kicks a soccer ball. A little girl covered head to toe in an all-enveloping cloak furiously peddles a bicycle. The camp is located in one of the last parts of Kurdish-held territory in Syria. For years, the issue of ISIS families has been an intractable problem. This January, it became a pressing danger as forces commanded by the new Syrian government advanced, leaving a security vacuum in parts of the region. Kurdish officials say it has sparked a resurgence of the ISIS militant group at the same time that U.S. forces have withdrawn. With children making up the majority of camp residents, it is also …

As Mexico prepares to host four World Cup matches here in June, it’s pulling out the stops on security, deploying thousands more officers and beefing up surveillance. But here in the state of Jalisco, more than 16,000 people are missing or believed to be murdered by drug cartels, individuals, as well as corrupt police officers. And victims’ families say the show of force for the World Cup does nothing to protect them or help find their loved ones. In February, this region erupted in violence after the military killed a powerful cartel leader. And now the government is trying hard to project a …
