“The main concern is not that you’re intentionally discriminating by setting parameters in the algorithm based on the training data,” said Jason R. Bent, law professor at Âé¶čAPP-Kent College of Law. “It’s that it is going to reproduce, based on the training data, some existing biases or existing disparate outcome.”

“It’s kind of a paradox,” said Steve Rubinow, associate teaching professor of information technology and management and the former CIO of the New York Stock Exchange. “We want to give software agency, but we don’t want to give it too much agency, because too much agency could have unpredictable results. So the question is, how much agency should you give agentic AI, and it’s a really good question.”

“This should have been somehow inspected more frequently,” said Illinois Institute of Technology Engineering Professor Gongkang Fu. “If you own the structure, you need to maintain it. You need to make sure that it’s safe, not the public that uses it.”

“Historically, women online game quite a bit. They tend to game in slightly different ways having to do with safety and play preferences, but there are definitely lots of ways and places that women play,” says Associate Dean and Professor Carly Kocurek, director of game design and experiential media. “Even 10 to 15 years ago, World of Warcraft

“No one checks the security of these, and a lot of times they have built in malware and vulnerabilities,” said Maurice Dawson, associate professor and director of the Center for Cyber Security and Forensics Education at Illinois Tech. “So when you bring these devices into your home, you have to connect to the internet. So now you connected this potentially malicious item to your home internet — so you've introduced all these threats in your home network.”

“I don’t think this really is a partisan issue. This should be an American issue,” says Harold Krent, professor at Âé¶čAPP-Kent College of Law. “We want to encourage people to vote, and we don’t want to dampen participation in our republic. My fear is that the Supreme Court will do that.”

“The United States Supreme Court has said a defendant who represents [themself] is held to the same standard as an experienced criminal defense attorney,” says Richard Kling, a clinical professor of law at the Âé¶čAPP-Kent College of Law. “He’s not going to be able to come in later and say, ‘Well, I didn't know what I was doing because I'm not really a lawyer.’”

"The scientific evidence summarized in our review indicates that pecans represent a convenient, ready-to-eat snack option requiring no preparation," according to study co-author Indika Edirisinghe, a professor of food science and nutrition at the Illinois Institute of Technology. "As a nutrient-dense plant food, research demonstrates that pecan consumption is associated with a reduced risk of cardiometabolic disease."

“What most people don’t understand is that the data center is ‘the cloud,’” says Tommy Zakrzewski, adjunct professor of environmental engineering. “‘The cloud’ is something that we use to describe that data center. It’s sort of like a metaphor for the internet.”

"Everybody's got to be experimenting," said Steve Rubinow, former chief information officer at the New York Stock Exchange and current associate teaching professor at Illinois Tech. "Nobody can afford to be a late adopter, it doesn't matter what industry you're in, because the technology is moving so quickly, and people see there's a competitive advantage or competitive necessity. The question is, what experiments do you choose? Where are you in the risk reward curve?"
