In a recent article, I explored how using AI affects how people perceive our trustworthiness. The study showed that being open about our use of AI was marginally better than keeping it hidden, but the mere use of the technology harmed people’s perceptions of us.

A new international study from the University of Warwick shows that many young people in low- and middle-income countries are being abused online—especially those who are sex workers, gay, transgender, or living with HIV.

“Time is money.” The phrase is old, but it’s especially true in transport. People routinely pay extra for faster options—non-stop flights, express trains, or ride-shares that show up sooner.

When COVID-19 hit in early 2020, 18 European countries shut their borders. This didn’t just cause travel problems—it also changed how people saw immigration and the idea of a united Europe.

In early 2020, many video calls started with, “Can you hear me?” At the time, working online was still new for many in Germany. A study from the University of Duisburg-Essen looked at whether the lockdowns actually improved people’s digital skills. The answer: yes, but not for everyone. Some people—mainly young men with university degrees […]| The Horizons Tracker
Normally, when issues of trust in AI are explored, we’re talking about when AI is solely in charge of a process.
