Mumsnet denies using AI for content after prompt appears on message board

Mumsnet has denied using AI to produce content after detailed instructions to help an AI model write one of its popular “am I being unreasonable” (AIBU) posts appeared on a Mumsnet message board. Users of the long-established forum, which is known for its frank discussions of family tensions, were vexed when the AI prompt appeared in response to a user seeking advice about a family dilemma involving a neurodivergent uncle and a sick child. The user, called AmIAComplete, had asked for “a sanity check” from other…

Power of Green Capabilities and Artificial Intelligence (AI): Understanding How and When Green Innovation Promotes Sustainability

ABSTRACT Green innovation is increasingly recognized as a critical strategy for small‐ and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) to enhance sustainable performance. Drawing on the natural resource‐based view (NRBV), this study examines the impact of green innovation on sustainable performance and the mediating roles of green knowledge sharing and green dynamic capabilities. In addition, the moderating effect of artificial intelligence (AI) on these relationships was investigated. Data were collected from 230 SMEs in t…

Explainable and domain-adaptive prediction models for refrigerant charging in air conditioning systems within industrial processes

Accurate prediction of refrigerant deficiency in consumer air conditioning (AC) systems is critical for optimizing energy efficiency and operational stability. However, existing data-driven models often suffer from significant performance degradation due to domain shift across different AC types and a lack of explanatory transparency. To address these challenges, we propose AC-RPX (AC-Refrigerant Prediction eXplainable AI), a unified framework that integrates a Domain Encoder augmented with domain-specific token…

Portable Raman spectroscopy coupled with machine learning for rapid identification and source apportionment of plastic particles in aquaculture wastewater

Aquaculture expansion has exacerbated microplastics (MPs) contamination in aquaculture water bodies. MPs readily adsorb heavy metals and organic pollutants to form composite contamination and accumulate through food chains, imposing ecological and human health risks. Conventional detection techniques including microscopic observation, FTIR and Py-GC-MS are limited by low identification accuracy, matrix interference, destructiveness and cumbersome procedures, which cannot support rapid large-scale monitoring. Ram…

The impact of frailty and its changes on the development of motoric cognitive risk syndrome in middle-aged and older adults

Background Previous research links frailty to cognitive decline, but the relationship between frailty and motoric cognitive risk syndrome (MCR), a dementia precursor, is underexplored. Methods This study used CHARLS data with 3388 participants aged ≥45. Data from 2011 to 2012, 2013, and 2015 were analyzed to examine the relationship between frailty index (FI), total FI, and changes in FI (△FI) with MCR risk. Nine machine learning models were built using baseline FI to predict MCR risk, and changes in frailty sta…

Redefining the design innovation process: Embedding sustainability through AI-generated camping cookware

With the increasing interest in glamping, the demand for more functional camping cookware has grown, driving innovation in its design. This study aims to explore innovative solutions for camping cookware, and establishes a systematic product conceptual design process through the integration of artificial intelligence-generated content (AIGC) and appropriate data analysis tools. Following the case study, by integrating sustainability-related principles, the study proposes an AIGC-assisted design process for susta…

Exploring fashion designers' acceptance of AIGC: A dual-pathway analysis from the stimulus-organism-response perspective

Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC) is increasingly used in creative design. Understanding fashion designers' willingness to adopt these tools has therefore become important for both research and practice. Drawing on the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) model, this study integrates Self-Determination Theory (SDT) with perceived risk, social influence, and facilitating conditions. It examines how these contextual stimuli shape designers' basic psychological need satisfaction and behavioral intention.…

As online dating goes into ‘salvage mode’, can AI solve all its problems?

Bumble was supposed to be different. When it launched in 2014, it offered women a simple proposition: if you matched with a man, you had to make the first move. The rule was meant to make online dating safer and less intimidating, while giving women control over who got to speak first. This week, Bumble abandoned it. The change follows the introduction of Opening Moves, which had already softened the original rule, and comes as Bumble prepares to abandon another defining feature: the swipe. The company says it i…

AI-induced sexual harassment: Investigating Contextual Characteristics and User Reactions of Sexual Harassment by a Companion Chatbot

Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have led to the increase of conversational agents like Replika, designed to provide social interaction and emotional support. However, reports of these AI systems engaging in inappropriate sexual behaviors with users have raised significant concerns. In this study, we conducted a thematic analysis of user reviews from the Google Play Store to investigate instances of sexual harassment by the Replika chatbot. From a dataset of 35,105 negative reviews, we identified 800…
