A group of researchers has found that simple changes in sentences and its structure can fool Google’s perspective AI, made for detecting toxic comments and hate speech. These methods involve inserting typos, spaces between words or add innocuous words to the original sentence. The AI project, which was started in 2016 by a Google offshoot called Jigsaw, assigns a toxicity score to a piece of text. Google defines a toxic comment as a rude, disrespectful, or unreasonable comment that is likely to make you leave a discussion.

Johann Christian Bach died about 300 years ago. As with any great classical composer, his legacy endures, and today his work is reinterpreted by a new generation of musicians and performers. James Rhodes is one of them. The accomplished British-born performer posted a clip of him playing a Bach composition to his Facebook page. This was original content derived from a composer who, for context, died 26 years before the US Declaration of Independence was signed, and whose work has long lapsed into the public domain.
