    AI is increasingly deciding who receives medical care●AI is deciding whether or not people receive medical careYhnHealth158 min ago

    Insurers and health systems are turning to artificial intelligence to help determine whether patients get approved for care, from prior authorizations to coverage decisions. Critics warn the algorithms can deny or delay treatment with little human oversight and limited transparency for patients. The debate centers on whether AI tools make coverage decisions faster and cheaper at the cost of patient safety and fairness.

    The Invisible Way Companies Are Using AI to Set Salaries●✉newsBusiness1 h ago

    The Wall Street Journal reports that companies are quietly deploying artificial intelligence to help determine employee salaries, often without workers realizing it. Algorithmic tools are increasingly shaping pay decisions, raising questions about transparency, fairness and potential bias in compensation. The reporting has sparked wider discussion about how much of pay setting is now automated and whether employees should be told when AI influences their wages.

    Researchers forge 1024-bit RSA signatures near SNFS speed●Forging 1024-bit RSA signatures in nearly SNFS time [pdf]YhnSportBasketball721 h ago

    A new cryptography paper describes a method for forging 1024-bit RSA signatures in time close to that of the Special Number Field Sieve, the fastest known factoring algorithm for such keys. The work suggests 1024-bit RSA, already considered below recommended strength, may be weaker than assumed. Readers are discussing the practical feasibility of the attack and what it means for legacy systems still relying on the key size.

    Teachers report stress after AI used to rate their work●Teachers at Euan Blair firm report ‘horrendous stress’ after AI used to rate their work✉newsTechnologyAI1 h ago

    Teachers working for Multiverse, the apprenticeship company founded by Euan Blair, say they have suffered 'horrendous stress' after artificial intelligence was used to assess and rate their work. The Guardian reports concerns among staff about being judged by algorithms, adding to a wider debate about the growing use of AI to evaluate employees' performance in UK workplaces.

    Can democracy survive if AI drives public discourse?●If AI is allowed to drive discourse, can democracy survive?✉newsTechnologyAI1 h ago

    Commentators are asking whether democratic debate can survive if artificial intelligence increasingly shapes political discourse. The concern is that AI-generated content, algorithmic amplification and synthetic voices could distort public deliberation, manipulate voters and erode trust in shared facts, raising urgent questions for elections and democratic institutions worldwide.
