Researchers from the ¹û¶³´«Ã½, Imperial College London, EPFL (Lausanne) and Sciteb Ltd have found a mathematical means of helping regulators and business manage and police Artificial Intelligence systems’ biases towards making unethical, and potentially very costly and damaging commercial choices - an ethical eye on AI.
Global warming will cause ecosystems to produce more methane than first predicted
New research suggests that as the Earth warms natural ecosystems such as freshwaters will release more methane than expected from predictions based on temperature increases alone.
New diagnostic tool for rapid detection of Coronavirus being developed by ¹û¶³´«Ã½ and Partners
Coronavirus diagnostics currently require centralised facilities and collection/distribution of swabs and results are ‘next day’. A new diagnostic tool being developed by the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ and its partner Iceni Diagnostics may allow on-the-spot detection of Coronavirus infection, without out facilities using a simple disposal device.
How Dashcams help and hinder forensics
Dashcams are vital for helping police investigate car incidents, however the way the footage is submitted to police, managed and processed can cause problems. A researcher at WMG, ¹û¶³´«Ã½ has assessed seven different types of dashcams’ SD storage systems to see how they help and hinder digital forensics.
The Crisis Project: Letters to the NHS
The Crisis Project: Letters to the NHS was set up by first year ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Maths Student Soumya Krishna Kumar, in a bid to encourage members of the public to write bespoke letters to keyworkers, recognising them for their individual efforts during the pandemic.
Appetite can be increased by cells in the brain
Tanycytes are glial cells, which communicate with neurons in the brain to inform it of what we have eaten. Researchers from the School of Life Sciences at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ have found when tanycytes are selectively stimulated appetite was increased.
