The models quickly segregated fictional ethnic groups into specific roles based on limited data, with OpenAI's o3 scoring near-maximum bias levels. The findings raise concerns as over 90% of companies now use AI in recruitment.

Generative AI is contaminating citizen science records with fake wildlife images

Scientists warn that AI-altered images and fake wildlife images are polluting databases like iNaturalist and Macaulay Library, which hold over 610 million records. A photo showing a rare red-winged blackbird in Brazil turned out to be an epaulet oriole enhanced by AI, illustrating how even well-intentioned edits can corrupt scientific data used to track species and climate change impacts.
