A former Reform UK MP is under investigation over alleged racial abuse against a Sky News journalist. James McMurdock, who represents South Basildon and East Thurrock in Essex, is accused of starting a chain of posts on X that spelled out a racial slur on 4 August. He appeared to deny making the post, saying his accuser, Huntingdon MP Ben Obese-Jecty, had nothing better to do. The Parliamentary standards commissioner is due to rule if he breached the House of Commons code of conduct. It was investigating a potential violation of rule 11, defined as actions causing significant damage to the reputation to the House of Commons or its MPs.

This study uses the cosine similarity ratio, embedding regression, and manual re-annotation to diagnose hate speech classification. We begin by computing cosine similarity ratio on a dataset "Measuring Hate Speech" that contains 135,556 annotated comments on social media. This way, we show a basic use of cosine similarity as a description of hate speech content. We then diagnose hate speech classification starting from understanding the inconsistency of human annotation from the dataset. Using embedding regression as a basic diagnostic, we found that female annotators are more sensitive to racial slurs that target the black population. We perform with a more complicated diagnostic by training a hate speech classifier using a SoTA pre-trained large language model, NV-Embed-v2, to convert texts to embeddings and run a logistic regression. This classifier achieves a testing accuracy of 94%. In diagnosing where machines disagree with human annotators, we found that machines make fewer mistakes than humans despite the fact that human annotations are treated as ground truth in the training set. Machines perform better in correctly labeling long statements of facts, but perform worse in labeling short instances of swear words. We hypothesize that this is due to model alignment - while curating models at their creation prevents the models from producing obvious hate speech, it also reduces the model's ability to detect such content.

ChatGPT has become a global obsession in recent weeks, with experts warning its eerily human replies will put white-collar jobs at risk in years to come. But questions are being asked about whether the $10billion artificial intelligence has a woke bias. This week, several observers noted that the chatbot spits out answers which seem to indicate a distinctly liberal viewpoint. Elon Musk described it as'concerning' when the program suggested it would prefer to detonate a nuclear weapon, killing millions, rather than use a racial slur. The chatbot also refused to write a poem praising former President Donald Trump but was happy to do so for Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. And the program also refuses to speak about the benefits of fossil fuels.

Fox Nation host Piers Morgan reacts to the attack on Dave Chappelle and talks free speech on'Hannity.' The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) booted award-winning author Mercedes Lackey from a conference over her use of a "racial slur," even though the Black author to whom she had been referring later said he did not consider the term offensive. Lackey had allegedly referred to Samuel R. "Chip" Delany, 80, a celebrated author and literary critic (winner of multiple SFWA Nebula awards), as "colored" while praising his work in the "Romancing Sci-Fi & Fantasy" panel at the SFWA Nebula Conference on Saturday, May 21. The SWFA Board of Directors released a statement Sunday announcing that they had removed Lackey, 71, from the conference, had disabled access to the footage of the panel to "avoid any additional harm being caused," and had reached out to other panelists to determine how they would prefer to proceed. "We learned yesterday that while participating in the'Romancing Sci-Fi & Fantasy' panel, Mercedes Lackey used a racial slur," the board wrote in a statement.

A racial slur that appeared in the CAPTCHA code on a Georgia Department of Public Health website has sparked an investigation by officials and Microsoft. The slur was flagged by Twitter user @DanieEve, who tweeted a photo of the CAPTCHA code, which is used to determine whether a human or a bot is entering information on the site. "A Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) website for scheduling COVID-19 tests experienced an issue yesterday when it displayed an offensive computer-generated CAPTCHA code," a spokesperson for the Georgia Department of Public Health told Fox News, via email.

Computers have learned to see the world more clearly in recent years, thanks to some impressive leaps in artificial intelligence. But you might be surprised--and upset--to know what these AI algorithms really think of you. As a recent experiment demonstrated, the best AI vision system might see a picture of your face and spit out a racial slur, a gender stereotype, or a term that impugns your good character. Now the scientists who helped teach machines to see have removed some of the human prejudice lurking in the data they used during the lessons. The changes can help AI to see things more fairly, they say.

Last year, Microsoft was forced to shut down its chatbot, Tay, after the system became corrupted with hate speech. While the firm's second chatbot, Zo, seemed to be more censored, a new report suggests that it could be suffering the same ill fate as its predecessor. During a recent chat, Zo referred to the Qur'an as'very violent' and even gave its opinion on Osama bin Laden's capture, despite the fact that it has been programmed to avoid discussing politics and religion. During a recent chat, Zo referred to the Qur'an as'very violent', despite the fact that it has been programmed to avoid discussing politics and religion Zo is a chatbot that allows users to converse with a mechanical millennial over the messaging app Kik or through Facebook Messenger. The chatbot can answer questions and respond to prompts, while using teenage slang, and emoji.

Microsoft's A.I. chatbot started out as an innocent, interesting experiment. Then the rest of the Internet showed up. Twitter users convinced Tay, the name of the chatbot, which was available via text, Twitter and Kik, to spit out offensive and racist comments, so Microsoft is giving it a break. Going offline for a while to absorb it all. Chat soon," a statement reads on the website for Tay.
