The world of quantum physics is a fascinating and complex one, where particles can defy our conventional understanding of matter and antimatter. In a recent seminar at CERN, the LHCb collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider shared intriguing findings about the oscillation of neutral D mesons, shedding light on the elusive matter-antimatter asymmetry in the
Recently, a report conducted by researchers at UCL highlighted the alarming presence of bias in artificial intelligence tools, particularly in Large Language Models (LLMs). These AI tools, like GPT-3.5, GPT-2, and Llama 2, were found to perpetuate discriminatory stereotypes against women and individuals from diverse cultures and sexual orientations. The study, commissioned by UNESCO, revealed
