¿Debe saber el lector si una noticia ha sido escrita con IA? El reto ético del periodismo moderno

4 days ago | sport.es | Sonia Fernandez

¿Debe saber un lector de prensa que lo que está leyendo ha sido escrito con la ayuda de una inteligencia artificial (IA)? ¿Pueden garantizar los periodistas que un texto generado con esta tecnología no contenga sesgos machistas? Estos y otros dilemas éticos van a ser cada vez más frecuentes en las redacciones de los medios de comunicación, que necesitan innovar y, a la vez, mantener los principios periodísticos.
Potential Fix for Lowering Carbon Emissions in Marine Shipping

5 days ago | noozhawk.com | Sonia Fernandez

Adopting new digital systems to help oceangoing container ships get in line to offload their cargo at busy ports appears to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 16-24%, according to researchers at UC Santa Barbara. Not only would this relatively simple intervention reduce emissions, but the technology to implement these measures already exists and is cheap.

Gender-sensitive data bring more depth to marine spatial planning

When considering how to use marine spaces and allocate resources to their management, policymakers would do well to take a gender-sensitive approach. So say UC Santa Barbara researchers and their collaborators in a study published in the journal Marine Policy.

May 28, 2025 When considering how to use marine spaces and allocate resources to their management, policymakers would do well to take a gender-sensitive approach. So say UC Santa Barbara researchers and their collaborators in a study published in the journal Marine Policy. According to their findings, globally, men and women tend to use the ocean in different ways, with implications for how marine spaces are used and valued.
Energy and Memory: A New Neural Network Paradigm

1 week ago | noozhawk.com | Sonia Fernandez

Listen to the first notes of an old, beloved song. Can you name that tune? If you can, congratulations — it’s a triumph of your associative memory, in which one piece of information (the first few notes) triggers the memory of the entire pattern (the song), without you actually having to hear the rest of the song again. We use this handy neural mechanism to learn, remember, solve problems and generally navigate our reality.

Hormone cycles shape the structure and function of key memory regions in the brain, researchers find

3 weeks ago | medicalxpress.com | Sonia Fernandez

Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior of our neurons and cognitive processes.
