Synthetic Data: What Defines It, and How Is It Used in AI Training?

To train AI models that perform well in real-world applications, you need high-quality data—and as much of it as possible. In principle, AI can be used in all industries, fields, and environments; people are experimenting with it, testing it, and sometimes discarding it. In some fields, such as medicine or disaster response, there are high hopes for AI, yet it is precisely in these areas where training data is often scarce—and, most importantly, where serious errors must be avoided.

AI in the Diagnosis of Rare Diseases

For anyone who is sick and looking for an answer to the question of what their symptoms mean, a diagnosis can be helpful. That sounds easier than it is, because it’s not always possible to clearly link symptoms to a specific disease. Individual factors or pre-existing conditions can influence the course of a disease to such an extent that diagnosis becomes difficult. And sometimes the condition is a rare disease, one of the characteristics of which is that there is comparatively little empirical data available about it.

忆恩师

我的老师是二十年前教师节离世的。从此我所有的教师节都是黑色的。我的世界里,恩师是永绝此岸的幽人,高纬度的存在。逝者如逝水,东方哲思的旷达完全不同于阿兹特克文化中的亡灵。我知道幽人不会余一缕残魂,更不需要来自俗世的祭奠与纪念。我的所思所想根本无法抵挡幽人所在的彼岸,只与我有关。之所以在这里写下这些无用的文字,是因为郑老师人格与智慧的万丈光芒穿透二十年的悠悠岁月仍然投射在我微末的生命之上,继续照亮前路。效颦鲁迅感怀藤野先生所言,每当困窘倦怠,正想偷懒时,忆及恩师不偷懒不灰心之语,便使我忽又良心发现,继续无怨无悔力所能及死而后已。

What should happen after we detect a spyware infection on a device?

Imagine a journalist investigating corruption, an activist documenting human rights abuses, or a civil society organization exposing government wrongdoing. The technology they once thought belonged only to the realm of law enforcement can now be used to watch, track, and intimidate them.
Commercial spyware, developed by private companies and sold to governments as a tool for fighting crime, has been repurposed into a powerful instrument of digital surveillance.

Scheint KI fairer als sie ist? Algorithmische Darstellungsverzerrungen in Medien

In unserem Alltag sehen wir immer häufiger KI-generierte Bilder und Texte. Zum Beispiel die Darstellung einer Gruppe junger Ärzte. Erfahren wir, dass dieses Bild mit KI erstellt wurde, suchen wir vielleicht nach Fehlern oder Auffälligkeiten. Viele kennen Beispiele für Logikfehler, falsch generierte Hände oder erfundene Fakten in Texten. Forschende machen allerdings auch auf eine Art von Fehler aufmerksam, der oft weniger offensichtlich ist: systematische Darstellungsverzerrung in KI-generierten Medieninhalten.
