Really cool work by my colleagues, such a nice illustration that a job of a doctor cannot be reduced to taking medical exams...

Luc Rocher@rocher.lc · 6mo ago

⚠️ Despite all the hype, chatbots still make terrible doctors. Out today is the largest user study of language models for medical self-diagnosis. We found that chatbots provide inaccurate and inconsistent answers, and that people are better off using online searches or their own judgment.

OMG! I did not know, that is so sad and terrifying

Sabrina Norwood@sabrinanorwood.bsky.social · 8mo ago

Did you know that from tomorrow, Qualtrics is offering synthetic panels (AI-generated participants)? Follow me down a rabbit hole I'm calling "doing science is tough and I'm so busy, can't we just make up participants?"

It was great to chat with Lisa Bonos @washingtonpost.com about the promise and perils of domestic automation. @oii.ox.ac.uk @wadhamcollege.bsky.social

Oxford Internet Institute@oii.ox.ac.uk · 12mo ago

@katyahe.bsky.social shared her view on AI apps that help manage domestic workloads with @washingtonpost.com. While apps might be efficient, using them “doesn’t change the underlying inequality” in how women often manage more household logistics than men do. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Help! I have a table that compares 2 groups of people clustered into 3 sub-categories each and contains mean and median values on a certain measure and sample sizes for the 2 groups. Just looking at the table the numbers do not look right to me mathematically. I think I read once about a tool 1/2

One of the preliminary findings of our @nettaweinstein.bsky.social and Vicki Nash on how young people experience parents' managing their digital lives is that communication is key for young people being on board and supportive of parents efforts. What better way to communicate than a GAME!

Andrew Przybylski@shuhbillskee.bsky.social · 2y ago

Genuinely happy to this hit its goal! Can't wait to play.

Was interested to hear about Tokyo Metropolitan Government's "plans to introduce a four-day workweek to ease the burden on families," but also ultimately skeptical that this will solve the issue of declining birth rates.

Can Japan's four-day work week solve its birth rate crisis?

The solution requires a fundamental shift in workplace culture, not just more policies, according to an analyst.

It was great to have an opportunity to discuss our latest research with Prof Vicki Nash on this podcast! @oiioxford.bsky.social This research is based on conversations with 16-17 year olds in the UK who shared with us how they feel about parental digital mediation of their lives.

Oxford Internet Institute@oii.ox.ac.uk · 2y ago

In the third episode of the OII Podcast, Prof. Vicki Nash and Prof. @katyahe.bsky.social discuss how digital technologies impact young children, and new ways to think about the ethical and safety measures that govern their use of technology. Listen here: podcasts.ox.ac.uk/digital-live...
