Face checks power everything from phone unlocks to banking logins — but training data often skews toward certain races and genders. This paper presents a method to generate high-quality, ID‑photo‑style synthetic faces that better reflect real‑world diversity, and introduces a new benchmark: Diverse and Inclusive Faces for Verification

Why do AI models sometimes sound sure while being wrong? This study spotlights a subtle culprit: spurious correlations—strong but misleading patterns in training data (like linking certain surnames to a nationality). * These shortcuts make LLMs produce confident, wrong answers. * Making models bigger doesn’t fix it. * Popular detectors—confidence

Large language models can sound confident even when they are wrong. This study pinpoints a sneaky culprit: spurious correlations — statistical shortcuts like linking certain surnames to a nationality. Models absorb these patterns from data and then answer with high certainty, even when the link is false. What the researchers found

If your AI segments tumors, who is it serving—and who might it be failing? A new audit of the MAMA-MIA breast cancer segmentation dataset examines fairness not in classification, but in segmentation—the step that often feeds every downstream decision. * Researchers evaluated automated segmentation quality by age, ethnicity, and
