Bias has long been a problem for AI and algorithms, and such software has previously been shown to reflect and repeat common social prejudices.
PETALING JAYA: The current heatwave should be a cause for concern among pet owners, especially when transporting animals without proper ventilation, as pets can suffer from heatstroke or even die.Veterinarian Dr Manikam Kumarasamy said there is a lack of awareness among pet owners about the dangers of being under the scorching sun. Owners must be vigilant when moving their pets to clinics or on outings, he added.
“Heatstroke in dogs is a life-threatening condition, resulting in serious secondary complications such as disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, acute kidney injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome as well as a high mortality rate, despite appropriate treatment. He said many cat owners believe their cats will not fall or if they do, the animal will always manage to land safely, which is untrue – as even a cat can sustain injuries such as broken bones, punctured lungs or even a ruptured bladder.
“Cat scratch disease is a bacterial infection in humans which causes swollen and tender lymph nodes, fever, headaches and tiredness. Pets are also vectors for toxocariasis, an illness caused by roundworms found in dog and cat intestines.
