A large-scale analysis of Grokipedia, the world's first AI-written encyclopedia, has found that while many Grokipedia articles closely resemble their Wikipedia counterparts, a substantial subset diverged markedly in style, sourcing, and political leaning. Conducted by researchers at Trinity College Dublin and Technological University Dublin, the study compared nearly 18,000 of the most-edited English-language Wikipedia pages with articles on the same topic on the new Grokipedia platform. The study is the largest academic analysis of Grokipedia since it was launched by Elon Musk last October with a promise that the AI-written encyclopedia systematically "fixes" left-leaning biases alleged to exist in the widely used online encyclopedia Wikipedia. Wikipedia's content is written and maintained by volunteer editors, while Grokipedia is an AI-generated encyclopedia using the xAI's Grok large language model. What did the study find? Using computational text analysis and machine learning methods, the team analysed articles on the same topic across Wikipedia and Grokipedia. Selection of topics was based on Wikipedia's most-edited English-language pages. The team compared differences in writing style, structure, and the political orientation of external sources referenced in the paired articles. The researchers found a profound split – while many Grokipedia articles closely mirror Wikipedia, a substantial proportion (66%) of the 18,000 analysed are more extensively rewritten – they are longer, more complex, and rely on fewer references. As a whole, articles on Grokipedia show similar political leaning to those on Wikipedia, drawing on left-leaning news sources. However, when it comes to the politically and culturally sensitive topics of religion, history, literature and art, Grokipedia shows a consistent shift toward referencing more right-leaning news sources compared to Wikipedia. The study analysed Wikipedia's most-edited English-language pages, a selection that likely overrepresents high-profile and contentious topics. That said the study, according to the authors, provides useful evidence of emerging differences between AI-generated and human-edited encyclopedic knowledge systems. Details of the research, conducted at the joint Centre for Sociology of Humans and Machines (SOHAM) in Trinity and TU Dublin, have been published in the peer-reviewed journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). What is the impact of this research? Lead author of the study, Saeedeh Mohammadi, PhD candidate at SOHAM and Research Ireland's Centre for Research Training in Foundations of Data Science said: "Online encyclopedias are central to public knowledge. They are also being used to train future generations of large language models. Our findings raise important questions about how public knowledge is produce, reproduced, verified, and governed. "Unlike Wikipedia, where biases are visible and contested through human editing, AI-generated systems operate largely opaquely. This means shifts in perspective or sourcing may occur without clear accountability or editorial oversight. Simply put AI generation does not remove bias – it changes how and where bias enters the system, often making it less visible." Professor Taha Yasseri Director of SOHAM and Principal Investigator of the study said: "Rather than systematically 'correcting' Wikipedia's alleged biases, as claimed when first launched, our findings suggest that AI-generated encyclopedias such as Grokipedia selectively reshape existing knowledge. This creates a patchwork system in which some content is copied, while other content is reinterpreted in ways that are less transparent and harder to scrutinise." "There is a dire need for transparency, oversight, and regulation in this space. Our information landscape is changing rapidly. We have already seen how the lack of editorial responsibility on social media platforms has enabled the generation and circulation of misinformation and ...

TU Dublin Innovation has announced a major surge in commercially focused research activity valued at approximately €3 million, securing five Enterprise Ireland Commercialisation Fund (CF) awards in 2025, significantly exceeding its annual target of three. The achievement marks a dramatic increase from 2024, when TU Dublin secured just one CF award, and signals a strong return to the university's baseline performance over the past two years. This milestone reflects a substantial investment of time, expertise and collaboration across TU Dublin's Innovation Office, case managers and research community. It also positions the university strongly for further growth in 2026, with a healthy pipeline already underway. One Proof of Concept (PoC) application has already been submitted, a second is in development, and additional opportunities are actively being explored. The five Enterprise Ireland awards include two full Commercialisation Fund projects and three Proof of Concept awards. As seen in 2024, both full CF projects secured significant funding, reinforcing TU Dublin's focus on high-value, high-impact research with strong commercial potential. The SIMIR project, awarded €721,533 and led by Dr Brian Vaughan at TU Dublin in collaboration with the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, is developing an immersive digital simulation platform designed to prepare medical trainees for real clinical environments. The platform combines clinical decision-making with essential soft skills, including communication, teamwork and situational awareness. Led by Dr Steven Davy at TU Dublin, the LiteStream project, awarded €653,472, is creating a next-generation telemedicine solution that uses AI-driven visual analysis and advanced video compression to help clinicians identify key patient cues during remote consultations, even in low-bandwidth environments. Anastasia Negru, Commercialisation Lead, LiteStream, commented that: 'We're tackling a €432 billion market with technology that solves three critical problems: doctors missing visual cues in remote consultations, bandwidth barriers in rural areas, and overwhelming documentation burden. The Enterprise Ireland Commercialisation Fund gives us the resources to conduct trials with clinical partners across Ireland, Sweden, Spain, the US and beyond and prove that Irish innovation can lead the global healthcare AI revolution.' In addition to its Enterprise Ireland success, TU Dublin has also secured four ARC Hub for ICT Proof of Concept awards, bringing the total number of new commercialisation-focused projects funded in 2025 to nine. Dr Paul Maguire, Head of Innovation and Knowledge Transfer at TU Dublin, commented: 'These awards mark a pivotal moment for TU Dublin Innovation, reflecting the determination and expertise of our researchers and innovation office team. We are building momentum at a remarkable pace, and the strength of our 2026 pipeline shows that this is only the beginning. Our university is firmly positioning itself as a leader in translating high impact research into real world commercial and societal value.' These achievements underline TU Dublin's growing reputation as a leader in research translation, innovation and industry engagement, with a clear focus on turning breakthrough ideas into real-world solutions that deliver commercial and societal impact. TU Dublin Innovation is co-funded by the Government of Ireland and the European Union through the ERDF Southern, Eastern & Midland Regional Programme 2021-27. See more stories here.

The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) has announced that it awarded more than €20 million in Government funding to 34 new national energy research awards under the SEAI National Energy Funding Programme in 2025. This comprises of 25 Research, Development and Demonstration (RD&D) projects and 9 Energise Fellowships. Funding for these awards is provided by the Government of Ireland through the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment. The RD&D projects funded by SEAI span small, medium, and large-scale initiatives across critical energy areas including offshore wind, bioenergy, district heating, green hydrogen, sustainable transport, forecasting, smart buildings, carbon capture, and environmental and climate targets. The Energise Fellowships Programme supports early-career and mid-career researchers, building national research capacity, strengthening the Irish energy research ecosystem, bridging the research to policy gap and accelerating the development of future research leaders. The 2025 Energise Fellowships are supporting research across areas including energy poverty alleviation, offshore renewable energy, carbon capture, energy efficient buildings, biofuels, and green hydrogen. In 2025, SEAI collaborated with three co?funding partners in the RD&D call, each supporting strategically important research themes: Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine – co-funding research on sustainable feedstocks for anaerobic digestion Climate Change Advisory Council – co-funding the development of low?emission and equitable transport strategies Met Éireann – co-funding a project on renewable energy forecasting in Ireland's changing climate SEAI acknowledges the value of these partnerships in scaling up national research impact and supporting evidence-based climate and energy policy. The 2025 SEAI National Energy Funding Programme awarded grants to project leads in several of Ireland's leading universities, technological institutions, and public-service and private-sector research organisations nationwide. These include University College Cork, University of Galway, Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin, University of Limerick, Maynooth University, Technological University of Shannon, TU Dublin, Munster Technological University, Atlantic Technological University, Teagasc, the International Energy Research Centre (IERC), Tipperary Energy Agency, HeatGrid Ireland Ltd and Dowmann Limited. The programme will benefit a broad selection of organisations across all projects and fellowships with 16 receiving funding as leads or partners and 29 as collaborators. Speaking on today's announcement, Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment Darragh O'Brien, TD said: "I am delighted to see the award of these 34 innovative energy research projects and fellowships. Ireland recently reached a landmark of 8GW of renewable energy. The best way to deliver long term energy independence and affordable costs for Irish households and businesses is to continue to deploy home-grown renewable energy at scale. Recent events in the Middle East have reiterated the importance of reducing Ireland's dependence on imported fossil fuels. These projects will explore important areas of research, that in turn can enhance the delivery of sustainable, secure, and affordable energy for all." William Walsh, CEO at SEAI, added: "These projects have the potential to transform Ireland's energy system. From floating wind, to using AI to enhance the efficiency of renewables, this research is on the cutting-edge of technology and international best practice. "Reducing our reliance on fossil fuels will mean a cleaner, healthier, more resilient and competitive future for our country. It will reduce our energy bills and put our country on a more secure footing. At SEAI, we fund the research that will make that vision a reality. Congratulations to the teams awarded this funding and thank you for the significant contribution you have made, and...

Humans bring gender biases to their interactions with Artificial Intelligence (AI), according to new research from Trinity College Dublin and Ludwig-Maximilians Universität (LMU) Munich. The study involving 402 participants found that people exploited female-labelled AI and distrusted male-labelled AI to a comparable extent as they do human partners bearing the same gender labels. Notably, in the case of female-labelled AI, the study found that exploitation in the Human-AI setting was even more prevalent than in the case of human partners with the same gender labels. This is the first study to examine the role of machine gender in human-AI collaboration using a systematic, empirical approach. The findings show that gendered expectations from human-human settings extend to human-AI cooperation. This has significant implications for how organisations design, deploy, and regulate interactive AI systems, according to the authors. The study, led by sociologists in Trinity's School of Social Sciences and Philosophy, has just been published in the journal iScience. Key findings: Patterns of exploitation and distrust toward AI agents mirrored those seen with human partners carrying the same gender labels. Participants were more likely to exploit AI agents labelled female and more likely to distrust AI agents labelled male. Assigning gender to AI agents can shape cooperation, trust, and misuse implications for product design, workplace deployment, and governance. Sepideh Bazazi, first author of the study and Visiting Research Fellow at the School of Social Sciences and Philosophy, Trinity, explained: "As AI becomes part of everyday life our findings that gendered expectations spill into human-AI cooperation underscore the importance of carefully considering gender representation in AI design, for example, to maximise people's engagement and build trust in their interactions with automated systems. "Designers of interactive AI agents should recognise and mitigate biases in human interactions to prevent reinforcing harmful gender discrimination and to create trustworthy, fair, and socially responsible AI systems." Taha Yasseri, co-author of the study and Director of the Centre for Sociology of Humans and Machines (SOHAM) at Trinity, said: "Our results show that simply assigning a gender label to an AI can change how people treat it. If organisations give AI agents human-like cues, including gender, they should anticipate downstream effects on trust and cooperation." Jurgis Karpus, co-author of the study and Postdoctoral Researcher at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) Munich, added: "This study raises an important dilemma. Giving AI agents human-like features can foster cooperation between people and AI, but it also risks transferring and reinforcing unwelcome existing gender biases from people's interactions with fellow humans." The article, 'AI's assigned gender affects human-AI cooperation' by Sepideh Bazazi (TCD); Jurgis Karpus (LMU); Taha Yasseri (TCD, TU Dublin) can be read on the journal iScience website. More about the study: In this experimental study, participants played repeated rounds of the social science experiment Prisoner's Dilemma - a classic experiment in behavioural game theory and economics to study human cooperation and defection. Partners were labelled human or AI. Each partner was further labelled male, female, non-binary, or gender-neutral. The team analysed motives for cooperation and defection, distinguishing exploitation (taking advantage of a cooperative partner) from distrust (defecting pre-emptively). Findings show that gender labelling can reproduce gendered patterns of cooperation with AI. The participants were recruited in the UK, and the experiment was conducted online. The sample size was 402 participants. More about Irish Tech News Irish Tech News are Ireland's No. 1 Online Tech Publication and often Ireland's No.1 Tech Podcast too.
