Researchers critical of the persistent ‘AI hype’ – driven by flashy headlines and corporate communications – have pointed to the harmful effects that misrepresentations of AI in the media might have on public perceptions of the technology. By flagging up AI hype content, the tool directs the user’s attention to this issue and points them to useful, verified sources on the nature, benefits, and harms of AI.
This tool was created by a team of computer science students at the University of Cambridge – Sam Hollis, Summer Leigh, Zhiyi Liu, Qingchuan Mi, Ria Mundhra, and Kornel Szabo – led by Dr Tomasz Hollanek. To learn more about the process, email: [email protected].
