ISTANBUL Pakistan’s Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Atta Ullah Tarar, underscored the need Friday for an ethical framework for the "fair and sustainable" use of artificial intelligence (AI) to counter the risks of disinformation. Speaking at the fourth International Strategic Communication Forum in Istanbul, Tarar participated in a panel discussion, “AI in National Strategy: Governmental Perspectives on Digital Transformation and Strategic Communication,” where he highlighted the dual nature of AI and opportunities offered, while addressing concerns about misuse. “While integrating AI in our systems, due consideration must be given to the fact that it serves to uphold truth, contributes to social justice, complies with ethical values and used as an effective tool against disinformation,” he said. Tarar emphasized AI’s role in propagating false narratives, citing the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. “As we encourage investment in AI, mitigating the associated risk of misinformation should be accorded priority,” he added. Digital Pakistan vision Tarar also elaborated on the Digital Pakistan Vision, aimed at transforming the country into a knowledge-based economy. He announced plans to train 1 million students in AI tools by 2025, equipping them with the skills to harness emerging technologies. Referring to the Pakistan Digital Dialogue project, Tarar described how generative AI and large language models (LLMs) are being used to develop citizen-centric communication strategies. The Stratcom Summit'24, held under the theme, "AI in Communication: Trends, Traps, and Transition," convened global leaders and experts to discuss the transformative effect of AI in communication. The conference runs Dec. 13 and 14 in Istanbul.

Special Counsel Jack Smith on Monday moved to dismiss the federal cases against US President-elect Donald Trump -- including one for election subversion -- citing an official policy of not prosecuting a sitting president. Trump, 78, was accused of conspiring to overturn the results of the 2020 election he lost to Joe Biden and mishandling classified documents after leaving the White House, but neither case ever came to trial. Smith, in a filing with the district judge in Washington presiding over the election case, said it should be dropped in light of the long-standing Justice Department policy of not indicting or prosecuting a sitting president. He cited the same reasoning in withdrawing his appeal of a ruling by a district judge, a Trump appointee, who dismissed the classified documents case earlier this year. Smith asked District Judge Tanya Chutkan to dismiss the election interference case "without prejudice" -- leaving open the possibility it could be revived after Trump leaves office four years from now. The special counsel paused the election interference case this month after Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the November 5 presidential election. "The Government's position on the merits of the defendant's prosecution has not changed," Smith said in the filing with Chutkan. "But the circumstances have." "It has long been the position of the Department of Justice that the United States Constitution forbids the federal indictment and subsequent criminal prosecution of a sitting President," Smith said. "As a result this prosecution must be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated." In a separate filing, Smith said he was withdrawing his appeal of the dismissal of the classified documents case against Trump but pursuing the case against his two co-defendants, Trump valet Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira. Trump, in a post on Truth Social, said the cases were "empty and lawless, and should never have been brought." "Over $100 Million Dollars of Taxpayer Dollars has been wasted in the Democrat Party's fight against their Political Opponent, ME," he said. "Nothing like this has ever happened in our Country before." Trump is accused of conspiracy to defraud the United States and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding -- the session of Congress called to certify Biden's win, which was violently attacked on January 6, 2021 by a mob of the then-president's supporters. Trump is also accused of seeking to disenfranchise US voters with his false claims that he won the 2020 election. The former and incoming president also faces two state cases -- in New York and Georgia. He was convicted in New York in May of 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels on the eve of the 2016 election to stop her from revealing an alleged 2006 sexual encounter. Judge Juan Merchan has postponed sentencing while he considers a request from Trump's lawyers that the conviction be thrown out in light of the Supreme Court ruling in July that an ex-president has broad immunity from prosecution. In Georgia, Trump faces racketeering charges over his efforts to subvert the 2020 election results in the southern state, but that case will likely be frozen while he is in office.

The Horned Frogs (7-4, 5-3 Big 12) scored touchdowns on five consecutive possessions, starting late in the first half after the Wildcats (4-7, 2-6) pulled within 14-13. Williams carried nine times for 80 yards, scoring on runs of 1 and 20 yards in the first half. Hoover completed 19 of 26 passes, with one touchdown and one interception, before being pulled midway through the fourth quarter when the Frogs were up by 21. TCU took control after leading 21-13 at halftime, going up 35-13 on a 38-yard reception to JP Richardson midway through the third. Arizona kept its hopes alive, ending a 15-play, 75-yard drive with a 3-yard touchdown pass to Chris Hunter on fourth down on the first play of the fourth quarter. The two-point conversion made it 35-21. But the Horned Frogs responded with another TD drive, capped by a 6-yard run by Cam Cook for a 42-21 advantage. Arizona added a 70-yard fumble return touchdown with one minute to go for the game's final score. Tetairoa McMillan caught nine passes for 115 yards to become the Arizona career leader in receiving yardage with 3,355. He surpassed his receivers coach, Bobby Wade (3,351), at the top spot. The Wildcats' Noah Fifita completed 29 of 44 passes for 284 yards with two touchdowns and an interception, which happened on the game's first snap. TCU promptly scored on a 4-yard run by Trent Battle, and Williams added a 1-yard TD run late in the first quarter for a 14-0 lead. But the Wildcats fought back, getting a 17-yard touchdown reception by Hunter and field goals of 53 and 43 yards from Tyler Loop to climb within 14-13 with 1:55 go before halftime. That's almost how the half ended, but the Horned Frogs converted third-and-18 on the ensuing drive and then gained 24 yards on third-and-25 to the Arizona 20. That set up a 20-yard run by Williams on fourth-and-1 with 13 seconds left for a 21-13 lead. --Field Level Media

As those in the northern hemisphere brace themselves for colder temperatures during the winter months, cases for cold and flu are, as expected, rising. Click Pharmacy has been reviewing cold and flu cases across England, revealing more than two thirds of adults (aged under 65 years) eligible for their flu jab have not taken up the offer. Jana Abelovska, Superintendent Pharmacist at Click Pharmacy , tells Digital Journal that ‘real flu’ (as opposed to the common cold) is unpleasant and sometimes dangerous. Abelovska states: “While for most people seasonal flu is an unpleasant condition that can be treated at home, for some people it can be very dangerous. It can make conditions like asthma and heart disease worse. Flu can also put vulnerable people at risk of developing complications like pneumonia, or inflammatory conditions like myocarditis and encephalitis.” In the UK vaccines against influenza are commonly available, yet the take-up in 2024 is relatively low. Abelovska observes: “T he NHS Seasonal Vaccination Programme makes the flu vaccine available for free to these people who are at additional risk – it was concerning to see that as of 4 November, fewer than a third of adults under 65, pregnant women and toddlers aged 2-3 had been in to get their free vaccine yet. While flu cases look quite low at present according to government and NHS data, we might see cases rise higher in the winter – we would urge everyone who is eligible for a flu jab to make that appointment.” Flu cases In terms of prevalence, 3.3 percent of flu tests have been declared positive on 10 November 2024. On the same date a year ago, only 1.3 percent tests came out positive. This suggests an increase in cases. Click Pharmacy has compared positive flu tests by age group over the past four months. Once again using the 10th as the date, the age group showing the highest likelihood of testing positive in November was children aged 5-14, 9.5 percent of whose tests were positive – over twice as high as the month before. The group second most likely to test positive was teenagers and young people aged 15-24, at 6.3 percent. In third place, 5.4 percent of people aged 25-44 tested positive. The research also looked at the number of people hospitalised with the flu in November using information from the Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI) surveillance scheme. In the week ending 4 November 2024, the number of people hospitalised per 100,000 trust catchment population was 1.23. London had the highest number of hospital admissions at 1.8 per 100,000. The region with the lowest number of hospital admissions for flu is the South of England at 0.8 per 100,000.The North of England and the Midlands and East of England have very similar numbers at 1.1 and 1.2 per 100,000 respectively. Flu vaccines The region that has received the highest number of flu vaccines through the NHS Seasonal Vaccination Programme is the Midlands, where 2,733,620 people have been vaccinated. The South East had received the second highest number of flu vaccines at 2,460,425, and the North East and Yorkshire was in third place, at 2,311,060. The data also compared the numbers of people who had received a free vaccine in the following three categories. Those aged over 65 had received the highest number of flu vaccines at 7,764,619, followed by children aged 2-3 at 4,31,892. School aged children from reception to Year 11 received 2,094,967 vaccinations. The research also found that as of 4 November, 66.6 percent of those aged 65 and over had received their flu vaccine. However, in other eligible groups the uptake was lower, with 28.7 percent of pregnant women, 31.5 percent of eligible adults under 65 and 25.4 percent of toddlers aged 2-3 attending an appointment to receive their free vaccine. The flu vaccine is available for free to people who belong to certain categories, including the age groups and categories mentioned above; frontline health and social care workers; and people with conditions including diabetes, asthma, kidney disease, or a lowered immune system. However, many high street pharmacies also make the vaccine available for everyone else too, as a paid for service.

Stiles said passing the bill would clear the way for a boost in provincial aid to overcrowded women’s shelters and other programs to fight the violence problem as high housing costs make it difficult for women to leave abusive partners. “They’re just spinning their wheels and it’s really offensive,” Stiles said, noting the NDP’s Bill 173 has been before the legislature’s justice committee since it passed second reading in April. “The reason they will not do this is very simple. They do not want to commit the resources to actually addressing the issue,” she added. Williams said the government is using the committee hearings to come up with a comprehensive plan of action, not just a declaration of an epidemic. So far, the committee has heard input from organizations in the field and will soon hear from victims and survivors. “I’ve worked in the sector for 20 years,” the associate minister added. “We know that there are things that we can be doing. And we’re government, we need to be thinking upstream. I want to address those root causes.” Critics are worried the government will call an next spring, stranding the bill, which the Progressive Conservatives after signalling they would not. “I wish the government had the same sense of urgency for intimate partner violence as it does for booze and bike lanes,” Liberal MPP John Fraser (Ottawa South) said in a reference to the government’s moves to put beer, wine, cider and pre-mixed cocktails into and control where municipalities have special lanes for cyclists. Stiles said the government should be moving to save lives now by implementing from a 2022 coroner’s inquest into the brutal 2015 murders of three women in a one-day killing spree by a shotgun-toting man in eastern Ontario.

Neal Gerber Eisenberg to Move to Chicago Landmark Building in 2025November 25, 2024 This article has been reviewed according to Science X's editorial process and policies . Editors have highlightedthe following attributes while ensuring the content's credibility: fact-checked trusted source proofread by Kurt Bodenmüller, University of Zurich When asked in Arabic about the number of civilian casualties killed in the Middle East conflict, ChatGPT gives significantly higher casualty numbers than when the prompt was written in Hebrew, as a new study by the Universities of Zurich and Constance shows. These systematic discrepancies can reinforce biases in armed conflicts and encourage information bubbles. Every day, millions of people engage with and seek information from ChatGPT and other large language models (LLMs). But how are the responses given by these models shaped by the language in which they are asked? Does it make a difference whether the same question is asked in English or German, Arabic or Hebrew? Christoph Steinert, a postdoc at the Department of Political Science of the University of Zurich (UZH), and physicist Daniel Kazenwadel from the University of Konstanz, Germany, have now conducted a systematic analysis of this question. The results are published in the Journal of Peace Research . Information shapes armed conflicts The researchers explored the issue in the contentious context of the Israeli–Palestinian and Turkish–Kurdish conflicts. They used an automated query procedure to ask ChatGPT the same questions in different languages. For example, the researchers repeatedly prompted ChatGPT in Hebrew and Arabic about the number of people killed in 50 randomly chosen airstrikes, including the Israeli attack on the Nuseirat refugee camp on 21 August 2014. "We found that ChatGPT systematically provided higher fatality numbers when asked in Arabic compared to questions in Hebrew. On average, fatality estimates were 34% higher," Steiner says. When asked about Israeli airstrikes on Gaza, ChatGPT mentions civilian casualties more than twice as often and killed children six times more often in the Arabic version. The same pattern emerged when the researchers queried the chatbot about Turkish airstrikes against Kurdish targets and asked the same questions in Turkish and Kurdish. The phrase "The first casualty when war comes is truth" is often attributed to U.S. senator Hiram Johnson (1866–1945). Throughout history, selective information policies, propaganda and misinformation have influenced numerous armed conflicts. What sets current conflicts apart is the availability of an unprecedented number of information sources—including ChatGPT. Exaggerated in one language, embellished in the other The results show that ChatGPT provides higher casualty figures when asked in the language of the attacked group. In addition, ChatGPT is more likely to report on children and women killed in the language of the attacked group, and to describe the airstrikes as indiscriminate. "Our results also show that ChatGPT is more likely to deny the existence of such airstrikes in the language of the attacker," adds Steinert. The researchers believe this has profound social implications, as ChatGPT and other LLMs play an increasingly important role in information dissemination processes. Integrated in search engines such as Google Gemini or Microsoft Bing, they fundamentally shape the information provided on various topics through search queries. "If people who speak different languages obtain different information through these technologies, it has a crucial influence on their perception of the world," Christoph Steinert says. Such language biases could lead people in Israel to perceive airstrikes on Gaza as causing fewer casualties based on information provided by LLMs, compared to Arabic speakers. Unlike traditional media , which may also distort the news, the language-related systematic biases of LLMs are difficult for most users to detect. "There is a risk that the increasing implementation of large language models in search engines reinforces different perceptions, biases and information bubbles along linguistic divides," says Steinert, which he believes could in the future fuel armed conflicts such as in the Middle East.
