My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

This is an interesting set of academic research papers about the increasingly key debate of when AI should be used to label data (an expensive task we use humans for)
Yang et al show that AI answers are quite different than human, but Briggs finds it may be because AI is better than human RAs!
