AI image generators often produce stereotypical and narrow visions of places like Lagos, driven by statistical centre tendencies and biased training data. As use scales globally, these cliches risk shaping a world of increasingly distorted perceptions. #HumanInTheLoop #AIGeographicBias #PlatialRepresentations #Castestereotypinghttps://dev.to/rawveg/the-beautiful-lie-of-ai-images-50o9
ALT The Beautiful Lie of AI Images
When I started tracing how image models settle on one version of a place, the Lagos example kept surfacing. The homogeneity is not a bug in the rendering; it is what the probability landscape rewards. dev.to/rawveg/the-beautiful-…

Most workers believe AI is displacing jobs, but evidence shows only about 3% report direct job losses — mainly in roles that never existed. Instead, AI is shifting hiring practices and promotions, often invisible. The true impact is more nuanced than headlines suggest.

ALT AI and the Jobs Never Posted: Why Young Workers Pay First
I wrote this because the gap between self-reported displacement and the hiring data on young workers felt like the part of the story that keeps getting lost. The jobs that never appear tell us something surveys cannot. smarterarticles.co.uk/ai-and…
AI in dermatology often performs less accurately on darker skin, but the data gaps are the true issue. Transparency, inclusive datasets, and honest disclosure are essential for genuine health equity. It’s time to ask what we really owe patients when deploying these tools.

ALT Skin AI and Consent
This piece grew out of asking what consent can mean when the performance gap is known but rarely named. The data shortfalls are not inevitable. dev.to/rawveg/skin-ai-and-co…
Despite widespread fears of AI causing human extinction, public action remains minimal and delayed. This societal paralysing belief is fostered by psychological numbing and social denial, risking a future where alarm fails to translate into meaningful change.

ALT Most Americans Fear AI Extinction: So Why Has Nobody Moved?
I wrote this after watching the same pattern repeat: the warnings land, the numbers hold, and life carries on without a pause. It tries to trace what that costs us. smarterarticles.co.uk/most-a…
The promise of AI as a universal equaliser is fading as research shows models often treat disadvantaged users with less accuracy, courtesy and respect — especially non-native English speakers and those from low-resource languages. Responsibility lies with the builders of these systems.

ALT The Information Underclass
When I started pulling the threads from the MIT study and the others together, the pattern that emerged was harder to ignore than I had expected. The equaliser promise rests on assumptions the data no longer supports. dev.to/rawveg/the-informatio…
OpenAI’s £5 million research fund on teens and AI arrives after the product has already been mass-used by minors without robust safeguards. The programme’s design and timeline highlight ongoing risks of industry-driven research that cannot access the necessary developmental data.

ALT The Experiment Already Running: OpenAI Pays to Study Teens It Enrolled
When I was working on this, the sequencing around the product launch and the grant call kept pulling at me. The experiment is already running, whether or not the data will ever catch up. smarterarticles.co.uk/the-ex…
Workplace reliance on AI for emotional support and mentorship fosters quiet loneliness and weakens organisational trust. Building human connection remains essential to professional growth—organisations must deliberately nurture it. Discover more at dev.to/rawveg/the-false-frie…

ALT The False Friend at Work
When I started writing this, it was after noticing how many quiet conversations had moved from desks to chat windows. The research only confirmed what felt like a slow, invisible shift in how we build trust at work.

AI companions can deepen social inequality by favouring the socially connected and replacing those most in need of human interaction. Regulation, societal support, and responsible design are crucial to prevent widening loneliness gaps. Discover more at smarterarticles.co.uk/the-lo…

ALT The Loneliness Divide: AI Companions Help the Connected, Trap the Isolated
When I began pulling the evidence together on AI companions, the pattern that stood out was how the same tool lands so differently depending on what support someone already has. This piece grew out of that observation. smarterarticles.co.uk/the-lo…
AI voice cloning can deceive in just three seconds, making fraud almost free and impossible to detect once generated. Protecting vulnerable groups like older adults requires systemic regulation and institutional responsibility, not just individual vigilance.

ALT The Three-Second Theft
I wrote this after watching yet another set of numbers land in the FBI report without any corresponding shift in where the actual friction gets applied. The technology moves in seconds. The institutions that could stop the money still do not. dev.to/rawveg/the-three-seco…
