Using artificial intelligence and archival news articles, a teenager in Northern Virginia created a program to measure media biases – and in researching older news articles, she found that Black homicide victims were less likely to be humanized in news coverage. Emily Ocasio, an 18-year-old from Falls Church, Virginia, created an AI program that analyzed FBI homicide records between 1976 and 1984 and their corresponding coverage published in The Boston Globe to determine whether victims were presented in a humanizing or impersonal way. After analyzing 5,042 entries, the results showed that Black men under the age of 18 were 30% less likely to receive humanizing coverage than their White counterparts, Ocasio told CNN. Black women were 23% less likely to be humanized in news stories, Ocasio added. A news article was considered humanizing when it mentioned additional information about the victim and presented them "as a person, not just a statistic," Ocasio said in her project presentation.

FEI Daily spoke with Prophix president Alok Ajmera about the risks of failing to adopt artificial technology (AI) and the problems the technology can (and cannot) solve. Alok Ajmera: Let me take a step back. Often, when I'm talking to CFOs, the image that people have is this sentient being. And that is a longer-term aspiration. I think the thing that needs to be said is AI is an umbrella term, encompassing a whole bunch of different types of technologies and you can categorize them into two buckets.
