EP20 - Understanding Science Through LLMs? Beware of Generalisation Bias

Saison 1 · Épisode 20

mardi 12 août 2025 • Durée 24:27

In this episode, we delve into one interesting findings in the world of AI and science communication. A new study published in Royal Society Open Science, authored by Uwe Peters and Benjamin Chin-Yee, reveals a systematic problem in how large language models summarise scientific research. Even when prompted for accuracy, many LLMs, including the latest versions of ChatGPT, Claude, and DeepSeek, consistently overgeneralise research findings. They take cautious, specific claims and subtly turn them into broad statements that were never actually made in the original papers.

This phenomenon called generalisation bias may not sound alarming at first, but its implications are massive. Imagine a clinical study that finds a treatment is effective in some patients being summarised as effective for all patients. Or nuanced scientific uncertainty being rewritten as confident advice. According to the study, AI-generated summaries are nearly five times more likely to contain these distortions than human-written summaries. And here’s the twist - the newer, more advanced models are often worse offenders than their predecessors.

If you rely on AI tools to digest research, teach, communicate, or make decisions based on scientific evidence, this episode is essential listening. We unpack how and why this bias happens, explore its potential risks for science, education, medicine, and media, and share practical tips for working smarter with LLMs.

EP19 - What MIT Discovered About Your Brain When Writing with AI?

Saison 1 · Épisode 19

mardi 5 août 2025 • Durée 24:43

What happens to your brain when you let AI do the thinking for you? In this episode, we explore a fascinating and widely discussed study out of the MIT Media Lab titled Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task. This research takes us deep into the cognitive consequences of using large language models like ChatGPT for academic work. Using EEG headsets to monitor brain activity, the study reveals something few of us want to hear: repeated reliance on AI might make your work easier but your brain weaker.

The researchers tracked students over four months as they wrote essays using either ChatGPT, a search engine, or no tools at all. The group that relied on AI not only showed weaker brain connectivity but also had trouble recalling their own work and claimed lower ownership of what they wrote. The paper introduces the concept of "cognitive debt"—the hidden cost of letting AI carry your intellectual load. Meanwhile, the "brain-only" group showed stronger neural activity, deeper memory retention, and a clearer sense of authorship.

This is not an anti-AI message. It is a moment to pause and consider how these tools are reshaping our learning, our memory, and our sense of self. Whether you are a student, educator, business leader, or technologist, understanding the neuroscience behind AI use is more important than ever. In this episode, we unpack what the data tells us and what it means for the way we think, learn, and create in a world increasingly mediated by machines.

EP18 - Double Standards: Why Your AI Use Feels More Honest Than Everyone Else’s

Saison 1 · Épisode 18

mercredi 30 juillet 2025 • Durée 25:15

Is using generative AI more acceptable when you do it yourself than when someone else does it? According to a new study from the Rotterdam School of Management, most of us think so. This episode dives into the fascinating research behind the paper “Acceptability Lies in the Eye of the Beholder”, which explores how we judge AI-assisted work differently depending on who is using the tech. The authors conducted nine studies with nearly 4,500 participants to unpack how we assess human versus AI contribution — and the results are both surprising and incredibly relevant.

At the heart of the findings is a powerful bias. People believe they use AI tools like ChatGPT as a source of inspiration, while assuming others rely on them to outsource the heavy lifting. That difference in perception has real consequences. It affects how students are evaluated, how job applicants are judged, and how AI-generated content is viewed in marketing, education, and business. This isn't just about technology, it's about human psychology and the stories we tell ourselves about fairness, effort, and ownership.

In this episode, we break down what the research uncovered, why it matters, and what it reveals about our evolving relationship with AI. Whether you’re a teacher, marketer, manager, or just curious about how AI is reshaping the rules of credit and creativity, this conversation offers insight into the silent double standards that shape our views.

Generative AI has captured the world's attention for its power to create, accelerate, and enhance—but what happens when these same tools are misused? In this episode of the Professor Insight Podcast, we turn the spotlight to the darker side of GenAI. Drawing on a groundbreaking new paper from DeepMind titled Generative AI Misuse: A Taxonomy of Tactics and Insights from Real-World Data, we explore nearly 200 real-life cases where generative tools were used to deceive, defraud, and manipulate.

From deepfake impersonations and non-consensual imagery to AI-powered phishing scams and fake social media botnets, the study reveals how GenAI is being exploited in ways that are surprisingly low-tech but highly effective. These misuse tactics often require little technical skill and rely on easy-to-access tools, making them more widespread and harder to track. We break down the taxonomy of tactics and the motivations behind them, including disinformation, monetisation, harassment, and even digital resurrection. This episode is a deep dive into how misuse is already reshaping online trust and public perception. We also discuss the broader implications for AI governance, content authenticity, and digital safety.
