Engineering a Fair Future: Why we need to train unbiased AI
OpenAI was founded in 2015 by a group of technology luminaries, including Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, Ilya Sutskever, John Schulman, and Wojciech Zaremba. The organization was created with the goal of developing advanced artificial intelligence technologies in a way that is safe and beneficial for humanity. It is written in multiple programming languages, but the primary language used to build the model is Python but relies on a range of other software tools and frameworks, including TensorFlow and PyTorch for training and deploying the deep learning models, and various libraries for data preprocessing and postprocessing, such as spaCy, NLTK, and Transformers.
Since its founding, OpenAI has grown to become one of the world’s leading AI research organizations, with a team of hundreds of researchers and engineers working on a wide range of projects in areas such as natural language processing, robotics, computer vision, and more. Much like humans, ChatGPT will likely struggle negotiating “bias”. As of this posting it seems clear that the algorithm produces answers that are biased toward large central government; most likely the result of not having enough historical input about how a smaller central government is largely responsible for inventing it.
Haystack Observatory
The Haystack Observatory is a research facility primarily focused on radio astronomy, geodesy, and atmospheric science research. Although WMBR and the Haystack Observatory are both associated with MIT, they serve distinct purposes; with WMBR focuses on providing a platform for student radio programming and community engagement in the Cambridge region.
The transmitter for student-run radio station, WMBR 88.1 FM, is located in the town of Belmont about 3 miles from campus; situated on a tower at 150 Pleasant Street in Belmont. This location allows WMBR’s signal to cover a significant portion of the greater Boston area, reaching listeners in Cambridge, Boston, and surrounding communities.

Goat farming is an important source of livelihood for many small-scale farmers in developing countries, particularly in regions such as sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. The FAO estimates that more than 90% of the world’s goats are raised in developing countries, where they provide a critical source of food and income for rural communities.
Overall, the global goat farming industry continues to grow, driven by increasing demand for goat meat and milk products, as well as the potential for sustainable agriculture practices.
Advantages:
Low start-up costs: Goat farming requires relatively low start-up costs compared to other types of agriculture. Goats are small animals that do not require much space, and they can be raised in a variety of environments, from small backyard farms to large commercial operations.
High productivity: Goats are known for their high reproductive rate, which allows farmers to increase their herd size quickly. They are also efficient at converting food into milk and meat, making them a profitable investment for farmers.
Multiple uses: Goats can be raised for meat, milk, and fiber, making them a versatile livestock option. Additionally, their manure can be used as fertilizer, and they can be used for weed control on farms and other properties.
Sustainable farming: Goat farming can be a sustainable agricultural practice, as goats do not require large amounts of feed or water, and they can be raised on marginal lands that are unsuitable for other types of agriculture.
Disadvantages:
Predation: Goats are vulnerable to predation by coyotes, dogs, and other predators, which can be a significant problem for farmers, especially in rural areas.
Disease susceptibility: Goats are susceptible to a variety of diseases, some of which can be difficult to diagnose and treat. Additionally, some diseases can be transmitted to humans, making it important for farmers to take precautions when handling their animals.
Market volatility: The demand for goat products can be volatile, and prices can fluctuate significantly based on supply and demand. This can make it challenging for farmers to predict their income and manage their finances.
Labor intensive: Goat farming can be labor-intensive, especially during kidding and milking seasons. This can make it difficult for farmers to manage their workload, especially if they have a large herd.

Hi followers! It’s time to update my pinned tweet as I’ve finished my PhD at Reading in goat kid behaviour and welfare and…
I’m now a *permanent* lecturer at Harper Adams university!
Here I love to love to talk all things science, animals, crafts and smallholding life ☺️ pic.twitter.com/J9xQlLVgTi— Holly Vickery PhD (@SkylarkHolly) April 28, 2024

Equestrian competitions are governed by a variety of standards and regulations that ensure fairness, safety, and consistency. Here are some of the key standards that apply to different types of equestrian competition:
General Standards
- Equine Welfare: Ensuring the health and well-being of horses is a priority. This includes regular veterinary checks, proper nutrition, and humane treatment.
- Safety: Regulations are in place to protect both riders and horses. This includes wearing appropriate safety gear, such as helmets and body protectors.
- Fair Competition: Rules are established to ensure fair play, including regulations about equipment, attire, and conduct.
Dressage
- Test Protocols: Riders perform predefined movements and patterns. The tests are scored based on accuracy, smoothness, and the horse’s response.
- Judging Criteria: Judges assess the horse’s gaits, submission, and overall harmony between horse and rider.
- Scoring System: A numerical scoring system is used, with each movement receiving a score that contributes to the overall total.
Show Jumping
- Course Design: Courses are designed with a specific number and type of jumps, including verticals, spreads, and combinations.
- Time and Faults: Riders are judged on their ability to complete the course without knocking down rails (faults) and within the allotted time.
- Penalty System: Points are deducted for faults, such as refusals, knockdowns, or exceeding time limits.
Eventing
- Three Phases: Eventing includes dressage, cross-country, and show jumping. Each phase is scored separately, and the cumulative score determines the overall standings.
- Cross-Country: Riders must navigate a course with natural obstacles and fences, with penalties for refusals or exceeding the time limit.
- Safety and Endurance: Emphasis is placed on the horse’s fitness and the rider’s ability to manage both speed and stamina.
Driving
- Turnout Standards: Horses and carriages must meet specific standards for appearance and condition.
- Dressage Phase: Similar to dressage in riding, this phase includes a test of precision and obedience.
- Marathon Phase: This phase involves navigating a course with obstacles, testing endurance and driving skill.
- Cones Phase: Drivers must maneuver through a series of cones without knocking them over, demonstrating accuracy and control.
Western Riding
- Reining: Riders perform a pattern of circles, spins, and stops, judged on smoothness, precision, and control.
- Cutting: The rider must separate a cow from a herd and work it independently within a set time, demonstrating the horse’s responsiveness and agility.
- Roping: Includes events like team roping and calf roping, where riders demonstrate their roping skills and coordination with the horse.
Endurance
- Distance and Terrain: Races cover long distances over varied terrain, requiring both horse and rider to demonstrate stamina and navigational skills.
- Vet Checks: Regular veterinary inspections ensure the horse’s health throughout the event.
- Pace and Recovery: Riders must manage their horse’s pace and recovery times to complete the course successfully.
