A research from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute shows that artificial intelligence can help form accurate news assessments - but only when a news story is first emerging. When a topic is so new that people have not had time to form an opinion, tailored AI-generated advice can lead readers to make better judgments regarding the legitimacy of news articles.
A Gartner report predicts that the second-order consequences of widespread AI will have massive societal impacts, to the point of making us unsure if and when we can trust our own eyes.

In order to defeat these cyber bad guys, security pros and AI should focus on what they do best. AI is markedly better at security-threat detection if clear guidelines can be turned into training data for AI. "For instance, if there are guidelines on certain kinds of IP addresses or websites that are known for being the source of malicious malware activity, the AI can be trained to look for them, take action, learn from this, and become smarter at detecting such activity in the future," writes Sivaraman.
