@ipeirotis You can basically accept or reject any paper using AI. I feel like most "AI-assisted" reviewers are doing exactly that, simply telling the AI "I don't like this paper, reject it" and vice versa. TBH, many pre-AI reviews of my papers came across that way, foregone conclusion.

We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas
A #research collaboration between @TorontoMet and @KidsHelpPhone, funded by @wellcometrust, will develop a generative AI training simulator that helps provide better, more effective training for the crisis responders who support young people. Read more: https://t.co/LTxGsTXXLs

Do not use AI. I will use AI to check if you used AI, then I will post the results of my use of AI to discover your use of AI and shame you for it. What utter stupidity.
CIHR funding rate: 13.6%.
Early 2000s: 30%+.
Canada’s new $1.7B Impact+ program recruits talent — but without increased Tri-Council base funding, we risk further strain on an already stretched system.
We’re calling for $1B over 5 years.

Today, we remember the fourteen young women whose lives were stolen at Polytechnique Montréal 36 years ago.
Their names are a solemn reminder of the devastating toll of gender-based violence — and the responsibility that comes with our remembrance.
The Netherlands has achieved a remarkable milestone by becoming the first country in the world to completely eliminate stray dogs without euthanasia. The government implemented strict animal welfare laws, mandatory pet registration, heavy fines for abandonment, and nationwide sterilisation drives. Shelters worked closely with rescue teams to ensure every stray dog was rehabilitated and placed in a loving home. Public awareness campaigns encouraged adoption over buying, helping transform the country’s approach to animal care. This compassionate, coordinated effort resulted in every dog finding a safe, permanent home — setting a global benchmark for humane animal welfare.
