The research tested 10 major AI models and found they refused 34% of politically critical content requests about restrictive jurisdictions versus 14% for permissive ones, raising concerns about censorship by proxy extending across borders.

Large language models can predict social science experiments but can't replace human insight

A Harvard study reveals GPT-4 can forecast outcomes of social science experiments involving nearly 120,000 participants with surprising accuracy. While large language models show promise for predicting human behavior in surveys, researchers warn that synthetic respondents aren't substitutes for real people and may create illusions of understanding without genuine insight into cognitive processes.
