Emergence of Artificial Intelligence on Projected U.S. Employment

The recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI) and its rapid integration into various aspects of life have become a focal point of concern, especially in regards to potential consequences on the workforce. Since AI has seen the most transformation post-2020, this study aims to analyze the role of AI exposure within an occupation on projected 10-year changes in employment using the most recent available data from 2022 (pulled from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). Through forward selection in ordinary least squares method, after controlling for task offshorability, education, work experience, and on-the-job training, it was found that a 1 standard deviation increase in AI exposure index is associated with a projected decrease of 1.043 percentage points in jobs on average within an occupation. This finding supports the growing concern of AI-driven job displacement and/or unemployment, which could heighten the burden on the government to fund welfare programs and potentially lead to recession. This paper further highlights the need for policy discussions on fostering a more balanced integration of AI into the workforce, possibly through specialized education and retraining programs.

Inevitable challenges of autonomy: ethical concerns in personalized algorithmic decision-making

Breakthroughs in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have transformed human decision-making processes. Individuals increasingly rely on algorithms to assist with various tasks such as searching and shopping. However, the widespread use of personalized algorithmic decision-making has raised numerous ethical concerns, specifically its impact on user autonomy. This article examines these concerns and argues that algorithmic decision-making presents several challenges to user autonomy that are difficult to eliminate. These challenges include the fact that algorithms deviate from a user’s authentic self, create self-reinforcing loops that narrow the user’s self, and lead to a decline in the user’s capacities. This article attributes these challenges to the ontological differences between users and AI, as well as their unawareness regarding the ethical risks associated with algorithms, asserting that the sense of autonomy users experience in algorithmic decision-making is merely an illusion. From the perspective of human-AI interaction, it is proposed a strategy that achieves a balance between human insight and AI through a human-in-the-loop approach to mitigate these challenges. This approach maximizes the strengths of AI in processing and analyzing data while ensuring that users retain agency.

Exploring Generative Adversarial Networks for Augmenting Network Intrusion Detection Tasks

The advent of generative networks and their adoption in numerous domains and communities have led to a wave of innovation and breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and machine learning. Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have expanded the scope of what is possible with machine learning, allowing for new applications in areas such as computer vision, natural language processing, and creative AI. GANs, in particular, have been used for a wide range of tasks, including image and video generation, data augmentation, style transfer, and anomaly detection. They have also been used for medical imaging and drug discovery, where they can generate synthetic data to augment small datasets, reduce the need for expensive experiments, and lower the number of real patients that must be included in medical trials. Given these developments, we propose using the power of generative adversarial networks to create and augment flow-based network traffic datasets. We evaluate a series of GAN architectures, including Wasserstein, conditional, energy-based, gradient penalty, and LSTM GANs. We evaluate their performance on a set of flow-based network traffic data collected from 16 subjects who used their computers for home, work, and study purposes. The performance of these GAN architectures is described according to metrics that involve networking principles, data distribution among a collection of flows, and temporal data distribution. Given the tendency of network intrusion detection datasets to have a very imbalanced data distribution, i.e., a large number of samples in the “normal traffic” category and a comparatively low number of samples assigned to the “intrusion” categories, we test our GANs by augmenting the intrusion data and checking whether this helps intrusion detection neural networks in their task. We publish the resulting UPBFlow dataset and code on GitHub 1 .

Machine-learning-based structural analysis of interactions between antibodies and antigens

Computational analysis of paratope-epitope interactions between antibodies and their corresponding antigens can facilitate our understanding of the molecular mechanism underlying humoral immunity and boost the design of new therapeutics for many diseases. The recent breakthrough in artificial intelligence has made it possible to predict protein-protein interactions and model their structures. Unfortunately, detecting antigen-binding sites associated with a specific antibody is still a challenging problem. To tackle this challenge, we implemented a deep learning model to characterize interaction patterns between antibodies and their corresponding antigens. With high accuracy, our model can distinguish between antibody-antigen complexes and other types of protein-protein complexes. More intriguingly, we can identify antigens from other common protein binding regions with an accuracy of higher than 70% even if we only have the epitope information. This indicates that antigens have distinct features on their surface that antibodies can recognize. Additionally, our model was unable to predict the partnerships between antibodies and their particular antigens. This result suggests that one antigen may be targeted by more than one antibody and that antibodies may bind to previously unidentified proteins. Taken together, our results support the precision of antibody-antigen interactions while also suggesting positive future progress in the prediction of specific pairing.
