Safe from AI: which jobs will help you thrive in the future?
Some view solely AI as a threat - but experts say there are jobs that can help offer a more secure future (and even get ahead). Some view solely AI as a threat - but experts say there are jobs that can help offer a more secure future (and even get ahead). Safe from AI: which jobs will help you thrive in the future? Entering the world of work often brings some uncertainty, but now there is another question: how can I AI-proof my career? We asked people from across various industries what they think the impact of AI will be on careers, and which jobs may be less affected.
AI summaries of Tripadvisor hotel reviews downplay serious complaints, investigation finds
Travel, said users should'scroll past these summaries and look at guest reviews'. Travel, said users should'scroll past these summaries and look at guest reviews'. AI-generated overview found to gloss over allegations of sexual harassment and describes hotel being sued over hygiene as'spotless' A hotel being sued for mass food poisonings was described as "spotless" and a resort where guests complained of sexual harassment by staff was praised for "friendly" service by an AI intended to summarise millions of Tripadvisor reviews. The overviews of customer feedback downplayed serious complaints, ranging from the stench of mould to a lack of mains water, according to an investigation by the consumer campaign organisation Which? The AI-generated reviews appear on the travel website's hotel webpages to help holidaymakers decide where to book.
Transferring Causal Effects using Proxies
We consider the problem of estimating a causal effect in a multi-domain setting. The causal effect of interest is confounded by an unobserved confounder and can change between the different domains. We assume that we have access to a proxy of the hidden confounder and that all variables are discrete or categorical. We propose methodology to estimate the causal effect in the target domain, where we assume to observe only the proxy variable. Under these conditions, we prove identifiability (even when treatment and response variables are continuous). We introduce two estimation techniques, prove consistency, and derive confidence intervals. The theoretical results are supported by simulation studies and a real-world example studying the causal effect of website rankings on consumer choices.
Tourist dies in Dominican Republic luxury resort fire
A huge fire at a luxury beach resort in the Dominican Republic killed one woman and forced nearly 1,700 guests to be evacuated on Friday. In a statement to local media, the DAEH emergency services said that a 46-year-old Italian tourist died, three people were taken to medical facilities and six others were treated on site. Drone footage shows how widespread the fire was, with buildings spanning the Viva Wyndham Dominicus Beach in Bayahibe on fire and thick black smoke billowing into the air. What sparked the early-morning blaze is not yet known, but an initial investigation found the flames spread quickly due to wind conditions and the flammable nature of the thatched roofs on some buildings. The country's Emergency Operations Center (COE) said the fire had been brought under control and guests had been moved to other hotels. It added that tourist activities in the town and surrounding area have been unaffected and can continue as normal.
Wide-Horizon Thinking and Simulation-Based Evaluation for Real-World LLMPlanning with Multifaceted Constraints
Unlike reasoning, which often entails a deep sequence of deductive steps, complex real-world planning is characterized by the need to synthesize a broad spectrum of parallel and potentially conflicting information and constraints. For example, in travel planning scenarios, it requires the integration of diverse real-world information and user preferences.
Scammers Are Using Your Real Hotel Reservations to Trick You With Spear-Phishing Attacks
Customer data from more than 350 hotels around the world may have been accessed as part of realistic reservation-hijacking scams. Travelers' information and booking details may have been stolen from hundreds of hotels around the world, according to new findings from security researchers. These swiped trip details, such as booking names and reservation information, are then being repurposed by cybercriminals to create highly targeted phishing messages used to steal credit card information. At least 350 hotels, vacation rentals, motels, and guesthouses in 50 different countries have been caught up in so-called reservation hijacking scams, according to an analysis of phishing messages and cybercriminal infrastructure by security company Norton. Researchers say the use of legitimate booking information in phishing messages may increase the chances that someone clicks on a fraudulent link and hands over other sensitive details to criminals.
Appendix AVariational Paragraph Embedder A.1 Selection of substitution rate p
Figure 4: Impact of the proportion of injected noise for learning Paragraph Embeddings on XSum dataset. PPLint and the PPL of the generation obtained from training PLANNER on the corresponding z at different noise level. We observed when the value of p is within (0, 0.7), there Performing a grid search on each task using diffusion models is an expensive process. However, it has been observed that an increase in the value of p leads to a deviation between the two. This could be attributed to a higher conversion error that occurs when p is excessively large. A.2 Selection of number of latent code k The parameter k determines the number of latent codes used to represent a paragraph and therefore controls the compression level. Latent codes with smaller values of k are easier to model using the diffusion model, but may struggle to accurately preserve all the information in the original text. Additionally, smaller values of k offer computational efficiency as the sequence length for the diffusion model is k. To determine the best set of latent codes, we conducted experiments using three different methods: 1) selecting the first k hidden vectors, 2) selecting the last k hidden vectors, and 3) selecting interleaving hidden vectors, one for every L k hidden vectors. The results of the ablation study are presented in Table 5. Based on our findings, we observed no significant difference among the different choices, so we opted for option 1). Furthermore, we discovered that increasing the value of k does not lead to a dramatic improvement in performance. To balance between efficiency and performance, in most of our study we only use k =16 Setup BLEU_clean BLEU_robust First k (k=16) 79.59 43.17 A.3 Reconstruction, denoising and interpolation examples In Table 6, we present examples that demonstrate the adeptness of the trained Variational Paragraph Embedder in providing clean and denoised reconstructions. Additionally, we showcase interpolation results (Table 7, 8) derived from two random sentences in the hotel review dataset. The interpolated paragraph is usually coherent and incorporates inputs from both sentences, characterizing the distributional smoothness of the latent space.
