New BBC-study evaluated AI-responses across 22 public service media organisations, 18 countries and 14 languages. Insights: some improvements, but AI assistants are still not a reliable way to find out about the news.

"Some say that medical societies must remain apolitical. […] The principle of medical neutrality, grounded in international humanitarian law, does not mean indifference; it obliges us to condemn any erosion of this norm as a threat to both care and ethics."
This week’s cover of The Lancet.

Similar misinformation about EAT-Lancet on top of the recommendations timeline on X. No surprises there, I guess.

Ser fram emot @jonasebbesson.bsky.social fördjupning vid tillfälle, men vilken fantastisk historia som nu skapats genom Internationella domstolens skarpa rådgivande beslut i klimatfrågan. Och tänk att allt började med en grupp studenter på den lilla önationen Vanuatu.

Yeah, this AI-augmented search stuff works like crap. Here’s a totally fabricated novel, and all links point to an actual and horrible US nuclear weapons test in 1954 in the Marshall Islands.
