Lucy Yu | Think like a human: Self-driving vehicles and the rules of the road

Lucy Yu, Director of Public Policy at FiveAI, is focusing on how to translate the rules of the road – designed and written with human drivers in mind – to the language of computers. Autonomous vehicles may have better sensors than humans, but their ability to reason in ambiguous or new situations is limited. To codify the intuitions many humans rely on when driving, FiveAI starts by providing rules for the car to follow in the most standard conditions, then gives it experience in a controlled version of real world driving.

Social media users more likely to believe false information

A new study led by researchers at McGill University finds that people who get their news from social media are more likely to have misperceptions about COVID-19. Those that consume more traditional news media have fewer misperceptions and are more likely to follow public health recommendations like social distancing.

In a study published in Misinformation Review, researchers looked at the behavioral effects of exposure to misinformation by combining social media analysis, news analysis, and survey research. They combed through millions of tweets, thousands of news articles, and the results of a nationally representative survey of Canadians to answer three questions: How prevalent is COVID-19 misinformation on social media and in traditional news media? Does it contribute to misperceptions about COVID-19? And does it affect behavior?

Uptick in US Adults Social Media Usage Will Likely Normalize Post-Pandemic

When US consumers started spending more time at home in March and April, they also started using social media more, providing an unexpected boost to the platforms.

Depending on the research source, up to 51% of US adults are using social media at higher rates during the pandemic. But even though elevated social usage continued at least into May, causing us to upgrade our forecast for time spent on social networks by US social network users, we believe that when consumers eventually get back to their normal routines of school, work and social activities, the trends will moderate. We think this will start to happen later in 2020, with a more visible downward trend evident in 2021 and beyond.
