A research coordinated by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has found that #ArtificialIntelligence assistants routinely misrepresent news content no matter which language, territory, or #AI platform is tested. www.ebu.ch/news/2025/10...
Largest study of its kind shows AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time – regardless of language or territory
New research coordinated by the EBU and led by the BBC has found that AI assistants routinely distort or misrepresent public service journalism.

Vielä eduskuntaryhmien velkajarrusopimuksesta. Eilen matkustaessa kirjoitin reaaliajassa kommentteja, kun eduskuntaryhmät pitivät tiedotustilaisuutta rinnakkain eduskunnan täysistunnon kanssa ja yksi niistä kiirehti jo väittämään, että "eduskunta hyväksyi tänään velkajarrun" bsky.app/profile/mart...
Istun Göteborgin lentokentällä ja odotan eduskuntaryhmien tiedotustilaisuutta velkajarrusopimuksesta. Jotakin kornia on siinä, että samaan aikaan kun melkein tyhjä täysistunto keskustelee oikeista lakiehdotuksista, eduskuntaryhmät pitävät tiedotustilaisuuden ja eduskunta jakaa sen verkossa/1

Among research participants with metabolic syndrome, those who successfully reduced sedentary time by at least half an hour showed improvements in metabolic flexibility and fat burning during light-intensity exercise compared to those who remained highly sedentary.
Just 30 minutes of less sitting each day can improve energy metabolism.
Reducing sedentary behaviour can be particularly beneficial for people who are physically inactive and have an increased risk of heart diseases and type 2 diabetes.
