admin — Thu, 15 May 2025 18:29:25 +0000

Just six months ago, researchers at ɬ�﷬ launched SUSANHub.com, a platform for sustainability researchers to share their work. The platform has grown quickly and now counts more than 39,000 visitors each week. As changes in U.S. government policy raise concerns about the stability of support for climate research, SUSANHub is emerging as a vital resource.

Eliminating the de minimis exemption will hit fast fashion shoppers hard

admin — Wed, 23 Jul 2025 15:17:50 +0000

A de minimis exemption allows goods below a certain value threshold to be traded internationally without paying duty. And on May 2 2025, the United States eliminated their de minimis exception for Hong Kong and China. That will drive up prices for shoppers on ultra-budget fast fashion platforms like Shein. With the changes to the rules, the price of a $20 dress on Shein could increase to more than $30.

Customer service chatbots are everywhere, but people prefer human agents to deal with some issues

admin — Wed, 17 Sep 2025 18:32:26 +0000

The use of customer service chatbots has grown rapidly. Maybe a little too rapidly, according to Vivek Astvansh, an Associate Professor of Quantitative Marketing and Analytics at ɬ�﷬ Desautels. The worldwide chatbot market has expanded from US$370 million in 2017 to US$2.2 billion last year, but customers are not always satisfied with the service they provide. “When shoppers want sensitive or precise information, they seek human agents, not chatbots,”says Astvansh.

European Union is in the early stages of regulating AI’s use of sensitive data

admin — Thu, 23 Oct 2025 17:50:51 +0000

Artificial intelligence is still an emerging technology, and we are only in the early stages of its regulation. The European Union is at the forefront of the technology’s regulation, says Simon Blanchette, Lecturer at ɬ�﷬ Desautels. The EU already has an artificial intelligence act, which centers on the level of privacy risk associated with individual use cases. “For example, when AI is used to evaluate loan or job applications, lots of sensitive, private information will be gathered,” Blanchette told CTV News.
