    Whose doctor does the AI recommend? An algorithm audit of reputation and demographic signals in large language model-assisted physician choice

    Syeda Anshrah Gillani, Mirza Samad Ahmed Baig

    cs.CY · cs.AI · cs.CL

    Patients increasingly ask large language model (LLM) assistants which doctor to see, making these systems AI infomediaries: algorithms that intermediate one person's choice among other people and thereby decide, silently and at scale, which physicians become visible. We report a prespecified randomized algorithm audit of what causally moves those recommendations. Seven models (six open-weight; gpt-4o-mini) each chose among five synthetic...

    Meteorology-driven Causal Nowcasting of Fugitive Landfill Emissions Enables Proactive Public Health Response

    Timothy C. Pearce, David J. T. Smith, Alec Dobney, Alessia Freddo

    cs.CY · cs.AI · cs.LG · physics.ao-ph · physics.geo-ph

    Fugitive emissions from waste sites increasingly expose communities to toxic and odorous gases, yet public-health responses remain largely retrospective, with episodes investigated only after residents have been exposed. Here we show that the meteorological drivers of elevated hydrogen sulphide (HS) at a long-monitored European landfill, and the timescales over which they act, can be identified directly from routine monitoring data. We...
