In the ‘Wild West’ of AI Chatbots, Subtle Biases Related to Race and Caste Often Go Unchecked
University of Washington

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.

Breaking research could help to advance care for overdose patients who’ve taken xylazine
Association for Diagnostic and Laboratory Medicine (ADLM (formerly AACC))

A novel study published today in ADLM’s journal, Clinical Chemistry, has found that it takes the human body much longer than previously thought to clear xylazine — one of the most popular emerging drugs of abuse in the U.S. This much-needed insight into how the body processes xylazine could improve treatment of overdose patients who’ve taken it.

Scientists Compare Throughput for Quantum vs. Conventional Networks
Department of Energy, Office of Science

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.

Growing Soybeans Has a Surprisingly Significant Emissions Footprint, but It’s Ripe for Reduction
Iowa State University

Over a typical two-year rotation of corn and soybeans, 40% of nitrous oxide emissions are in the fertilizer-free soybean year, according to new Iowa State University research. Winter cover crops and planting soybeans earlier could reduce emissions of the potent greenhouse gas by one-third while increasing yields.
