âThe main concern is not that youâre intentionally discriminating by setting parameters in the algorithm based on the training data,â said Jason R. Bent, law professor at Âé¶čAPP-Kent College of Law. âItâs that it is going to reproduce, based on the training data, some existing biases or existing disparate outcome.â

âItâs kind of a paradox,â said Steve Rubinow, associate teaching professor of information technology and management and the former CIO of the New York Stock Exchange. âWe want to give software agency, but we donât 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 itâs a really good question.â
âThis should have been somehow inspected more frequently,â said Illinois Institute of Technology Engineering Professor Gongkang Fu. âIf you own the structure, you need to maintain it. You need to make sure that itâs safe, not the public that uses it.â
âHistorically, 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,â says Associate Dean and Professor Carly Kocurek, director of game design and experiential media. âEven 10 to 15 years ago, World of Warcraft ⊠had more women players than men, which most people didnât realize because people arenât always playing as themselves.â
âNo one checks the security of these, and a lot of times they have built in malware and vulnerabilities,â said Maurice Dawson, associate professor and director of the Center for Cyber Security and Forensics Education at Illinois Tech. âSo 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 â so you've introduced all these threats in your home network.â
âI donât think this really is a partisan issue. This should be an American issue,â says Harold Krent, professor at Âé¶čAPP-Kent College of Law. âWe want to encourage people to vote, and we donât want to dampen participation in our republic. My fear is that the Supreme Court will do that.â
âThe United States Supreme Court has said a defendant who represents [themself] is held to the same standard as an experienced criminal defense attorney,â says Richard Kling, a clinical professor of law at the Âé¶čAPP-Kent College of Law. âHeâs not going to be able to come in later and say, âWell, I didn't know what I was doing because I'm not really a lawyer.ââ
"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."
âWhat most people donât understand is that the data center is âthe cloud,ââ says Tommy Zakrzewski, adjunct professor of environmental engineering. ââThe cloudâ is something that we use to describe that data center. Itâs sort of like a metaphor for the internet.â
"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?"
