Your AI could copy our worst instincts, but there’s a fix for AI social bias

AI models including GPT-4.1 and DeepSeek-3.1 can mirror ingroup versus outgroup bias in everyday language, a study finds. Researchers also report an ION training method that reduced the gap.

AI is quietly poisoning itself and pushing models toward collapse - but there's a cure

When models are trained on unverified AI slop, results drift from reality fast. Here's how to stop the spread, according to Gartner.
