Read the excerpt below from the 1982 short story The body , by Stephen King:

[...] The sides of the tree house were made out of wood, and the roof was metal we had taken from the dump, looking over our shoulders all the time because the manager of the dump had a dog which ate children for breakfast, or so people said."

AI helps spread new stereotypes across cultures

All cultures around the world have their own stereotypes related to gender, age, or nationality. Some are well-known, such as the idea that blondes are dumb or that engineers are men, while others are more local — like the cunning of people from Rio de Janeiro or the belief that Pakistanis are conservative. With the rise of AI-powered chatbots, this questionable cultural baggage is now spreading across the globe, according to a new study.
AI incorporates stereotypes about people from what people say online, and then uses them as if they were part of the world's general knowledge," says Margaret Mitchell, lead researcher of the study and Chief Ethics Scientist at Hugging Face, a company focused on open-source AI models. "Everything is based on what is known in English — in English-speaking culture, especially in the U.S. — and then maybe it gets translated into other languages, but without capturing international nuances. And if these language models are supposed to be general-purpose and work for everyone, then in theory, they should be able to pick up on those differences."
Together with a team of researchers fluent in 16 languages, Mitchell created a list of more than 300 stereotypes from around the world. With this material, the researchers manually created a system to generate questions about these topics, using different tones and angles, which they then posed to several open-source AI models.

Read the following text to answer questions


 The sum of the three main sources of background radiation – cosmic, terrestrial and internal – is about 2.4 mSv and is the annual whole-body dose equivalent arising from natural radiation. It must be emphasized that this is a global average dose, which may vary. There are several studies looking into the impact of high background radiation doses on humans and the possible long-term consequences of chronic exposure to such doses.


With respect to man-made radiation, the most significant source of exposure to the public is from medical procedures, which includes diagnostic X-rays, nuclear medicine, and radiation therapy. Medical exposure accounts for the largest radiation exposure to the population, after the natural background radiation. The advances in medical investigations, the important role of prevention through early diagnosis and also the aging population, are all factors leading to an increase in the number of diagnostic procedures. It is, therefore, important to find the balance between radiological exposure and the associated benefit to the patient. In order to reduce the risks of any deleterious effects from medical exposure, this should be limited as much as possible, especially in children, who are more susceptible to radiation-induced adverse events than adults.

 Effective communication is central to the clinicianpatient encounter. When the patient’s needs and concerns are well understood through a biopsychosocial formulation, then a comprehensive care plan can be mutually agreed on. Communication skills training (CST) has become one vehicle to build skills that optimally advance the clinical agenda, alongside promoting professionalism and excellence of care. Good communication skills have been linked to higher patient satisfaction, greater patient adherence to treatment, better patient health outcomes, fewer physician malpractice claims, reduced patient anxiety, increased recall, and improved understanding.


Patients with cancer report unmet communication needs for information about the extent of disease, prognosis, and treatment options, intent, and adverse effects. This is consistent with earlier studies on communication in clinical encounters. When the clinician is responsive to patients’ needs, their anxiety levels have been significantly reduced.


In this article, we propose the establishment of a universal CST curriculum for fellows of all cancer specialties that builds their professionalism and sustains effective clinician-patient communication throughout their careers.

In the Common Core National Curriculum (Base Nacional Comum Curricular, or BNCC) for basic education which came into effect in 2018, the declared ideological basis was a preoccupation with citizenship seen as a concern with the quality of education in Brazil with its extreme regional differences. It is intended to overcome the perceived shortcomings of previous national curricula, such as the […] National Curriculum Document (Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais, or PCN`s), which were based on the homogeneous educational needs, demands and characterisitcs of the largely urban, industrial and prosperous Southeast of the country. With a lack of adequate funding for materials and teacher education in the rest of the country, it is claimed that the previous curricula ended up privileging learners in the Southeast who received an adequate education, and created a divide with the rest of the country whose needs, demands, and largely rural characteristics were not attended to, thus prejudicing equality of opportunities and citizenship. The BNCC then proceeds to offer the possibility of a “commom core” model of which at least 60% of its content needs to be covered nationally, while 40% can be “complemented” regionally by schools systems. What concern us here is how the teaching of languages is portrayed In the BNCC, and the political implications of this.
