World’s first research journal dedicated to psychology and artificial intelligence announced

'Journal of Psychology and AI' will be published by Taylor & Francis

2024-07-03

(Press-News.org) Taylor & Francis has announced the launch of the Journal of Psychology and AI, an open access journal that aims to foster dialogue between technologists developing artificial intelligence (AI) systems and psychology researchers exploring human behavior, cognitions, and emotions.

As AI technology becomes increasingly integrated into our lives, the new journal will publish reports on direct human interaction with AI as well as exploring how it is influencing the way we interact with and think about the world.

Other research areas relevant to psychology and AI include using AI for the assessment, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of psychological health conditions, addressing ethical issues, and harnessing AI to analyze and predict human behavior. It will also feature research related to robots as embodied forms of AI, such as social robotics, human-robot interaction, and robotics in education.

Chris Krägeloh, Professor of Psychology at Auckland University of Technology and Co-Editor of Journal of Psychology and AI, said: “As AI technology rapidly evolves, it is raising important questions for both psychology researchers and AI professionals. Our hope is that this new journal will spark collaboration, inspire innovation, and contribute to the global evolution bridging these transformative disciplines.”

Oleg Medvedev, Associate Professor at the University of Waikato’s School of Psychology and Co-Editor of Journal of Psychology and AI, added: “The Journal of Psychology and AI will be a forum for sharing discoveries about one of the greatest challenges facing humanity. We look forward to working with researchers from a range of fields to raise the profile of exciting work being done in this area.”

Welcoming submissions from all types of psychological inquiry, as well as allied disciplines, the Journal of Psychology and AI will promote interdisciplinary research and perspectives across the spectrum from social sciences to neuroscience.

How dust pollution from shrinking Great Salt Lake affects communities disproportionately

2024-07-03

New research from the University of Utah demonstrates how wind-carried dust from the exposed bed of Great Salt Lake is disproportionately affecting disadvantaged communities in the Salt Lake metro area. The findings suggest restoring the lake to a healthy water level would reduce disparities in harmful dust exposure experienced by different racial/ethnic and socioeconomic groups, along with delivering other ecological and economic benefits.⁠ Exposure to particulate pollution arising from dry portions of the playa is highest among Pacific Islanders and Hispanics and lowest among white people compared to other racial/ethnic ...

Clever clothes! Seams in clothing capture body movement

2024-07-03

Everyday clothing may soon be able to capture and record body movements according to new research published by the Universities of Bristol and Bath. Harmless low voltages are passed through conductive threads which are stitched into garment seams to create electrical circuits. Their resistance changes with the movement of the wearer's body. The work opens up new possibilities to make digital clothing which senses and captures movements much more accurately than is possible using current phones and smart watches. The paper, presented at the Designing Interactive Systems (DIS) conference in Copenhagen ...

Research spotlight: Identifying genes to prolong an anti-tumor immune response

2024-07-02

How would you summarize your study for a lay audience? We set out to identify genes that are commonly expressed in CD8+ T cells, killer immune cells that can drive anti-tumor immunity, across many types of human cancers. Our goal was to uncover new therapeutic targets, which could inform novel treatment strategies that could benefit many patients. To do this, we developed a novel mathematical method that can be applied to data from many types of cancers. What knowledge gaps does your study help to fill? We know the presence fof CD8+ T cells is essential for ...

SRI is developing a new malaria treatment that aims to protect from the disease

2024-07-02

SRI today announced that researchers are developing a new treatment that aims to provide a better option to fight malaria, particularly for people in low-income and rural regions. Researchers in SRI’s Pharmaceutical Sciences Lab are working on an affordable, shelf-stable anti-malarial drug formulation that could provide months of protection against the mosquito-borne disease with just a single injection, which means that individuals would no longer have to worry about missing a dose. Additionally, it has a low propensity for resistance and can be ...

UV radiation damage leads to ribosome roadblocks, causing early skin cell death

2024-07-02

In a recent study, researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine suggest the cell’s messenger RNA (mRNA) — the major translator and regulator of genetic material — along with a critical protein called ZAK, spur the cell’s initial response to UV radiation damage and play a critical role in whether the cell lives or dies. While UV radiation has long been known to damage DNA, it also damages mRNA, and the latest findings, published June 5 in Cell, indicate that mRNAs act as first responders in telling the cells how to manage the stress. “RNA is a canary in the coal mine. It’s telling the cell, ‘We’ve got major damage here and ...

Precise and less expensive 3D printing of complex, high-resolution structures

2024-07-02

WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a new two-photon polymerization technique that uses two lasers to 3D print complex high-resolution structures. The advance could make this 3D printing process less expensive, helping it find wider use in a variety of applications. Two-photon polymerization is an advanced additive manufacturing technique that traditionally uses femtosecond lasers to polymerize materials in a precise, 3D manner. Although this process works well for making high-resolution microstructures, it isn’t widely used in manufacturing ...
