University of Washington researchers developed a system for detecting subtle biases in AI models. They found seven of the eight popular AI models they tested in conversations around race and caste generated significant amounts of biased text in interactions — particularly when discussing caste. Open-source models fared far worse than two proprietary ChatGPT models.

Entangled quantum bits per second (ebps) indicates a quantum network’s throughput. In this study, researchers collected ebps measurements over a suite of fiber connections on a quantum network testbed. They then compared these measurements with capacity estimates for a conventional fiber-optic network at a range of distances. The study finds that ebps throughput decays sharply with distance in ways that differ from conventional networks.

As a young man in his mid-20s, Jorge Gómez was one of thousands of Cuban citizens who fled Communism and the island country on a raft in 1994. He would spend 11 months living in a tent city at Guantanamo Bay before being granted asylum into the U.S., where he overcame countless obstacles to build a better life as an engineer and father of four boys. Patience, perseverance, and an eternal sense of optimism sustained him throughout his journey, he says. And it served him well in 2021 when, during a routine visit to his primary care physician, a cancerous growth in his esophagus was discovered. Heeding his doctor’s recommendation, he sought the help of Markus Goldschmiedt, M.D., Clinical Associate Professor of Internal Medicine at UT Southwestern Medical Center, who was building a reputation as one of only a handful of specialists in Dallas-Fort Worth who could offer a highly complex procedure known as endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).
