Good morning, Fort Collins.
🎓 Education
Colorado State University's political science researchers, Taylor Sosa (a Ph.D. student) and Matthew Hitt, are investigating whether AI chatbots repeat social biases from online texts.
They compare AI-generated and human summaries of Supreme Court decisions, a study that may guide future efforts to improve transparency and regulation of generative technology.
CSU is expanding AI literacy into new courses after new graduate unemployment reached 5.8% in April.
CSU professor Martin Shields said learning to use AI as a tool will boost career prospects (concerns over AI displacing entry-level roles continue).
🏈 Sports
CSU women's basketball redshirt freshman McKenna Murphy averages nine points and nearly 50% from three as she fuels her team's push for success.
Murphy, who balances early workouts with a demanding internship, aims to help lead her team to a Mountain West Championship.
