AI Model Scores Highly in Detecting Skin Cancer

Melanoma is a dangerous type of skin cancer that develops from the cells that produce melanin, known as melanocytes. This cancer can develop anywhere on the skin, although it’s most common on the backs of men and legs of women. It can manifest as a new spot or a change in an existing freckle or mole. Symptoms of melanoma include: Changes in color An unusual border Uneven edges or shape Changes in symptoms, like bleeding or new itchiness Changes in size New research published last month discussed a revolutionary artificial intelligence model that could transform how melanoma is detected. The…

AI is Being Trained to Spot Anomalies During Tests in the Medical Sector

Audra Moran, the head of a global charity (“OCRA”) focused on researching ovarian cancer, says her area of expertise is underfunded and very deadly. Most cases of this disease originate within the fallopian tubes and spread to the ovaries. The problem is, by the time the malignancy spreads to the ovaries, there is a high likelihood that it has also spread to other parts of the body. This is why early detection is critical as life-saving interventions can be carried out. The life-changing window of detection is approximately 5 years before the onset of ovary cancer symptoms, but it is…

AI Could Help in Preventing Diabetes-Linked Blindness

Diabetic retinopathy is a severe eye condition that can cause blindness in individuals with diabetes. It develops when high levels of blood sugar damage blood vessels found in the retina. American guidelines encourage individuals with type II diabetes to be screened at diagnosis, then once every year if no issue comes up. On the other hand, the NHS encourages diabetics to go for eye screening every 1 or 2 years. To screen for the condition, health professionals take pictures of the eye’s rear interior wall. While screening can help prevent vision loss, not every patient can access these services, primarily…

Unpacking What AI Agents Are, What They Do

Artificial intelligence agents are best defined as software powered by AI that completes different tasks that an individual asks them to do. Last month, Perplexity rolled out an artificial intelligence agent that assists individuals with their shopping for the holidays. Soon after, Project Mariner was released by Google to complete tasks like finding recipes, shopping for home items, and finding hotels and flights, among others. While this seems easy enough to understand, inadequate clarity on how to classify these agents makes it complicated. For Google, the agents are task-based assistants while for Asana, AI agents may play the role of…

Lawsuit Filed as AI Chatbot Goes Rogue, Advises Kid to Kill His Parents

A court in Texas has received a lawsuit that claims that an AI chatbot told a teenager that murdering his parents was a ‘reasonable response’ to them restricting his screen time. The lawsuit was filed by the boy’s family against Character.ai, with Google, whose parent company is Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG), being named as another defendant. In the suit, the family accused those technology platforms of promoting violence which negatively impacts the parent-child relationship while exacerbating health issues like anxiety and depression among teenagers. The conversation between the AI chatbot and the boy, aged seventeen, took a turn…

Study Says Readers Distrust AI News

A new study has determined that readers have less trust in news credibility when they find out that artificial intelligence has been used in some way to generate an article. Researchers from the University of Kansas posit that understanding how and what technology contributed to news as well as how this could be revealed to readers in a way they understood needed to be resolved. The study was led by Associate professor Alyssa Appelman and Assistant Professor Steve Bien-Aimé who conducted an experiment where they showed readers a news story about aspartame and how safe it was for human consumption.…

Google Announces Weather-Forecasting AI Tool That Outperforms Available Systems

Google recently unveiled a new artificial intelligence model that can forecast weather conditions as early as fifteen days ahead. The model, christened GenCast, can offer better forecasts of both extreme weather events and day-to-day weather than currently available systems. This signifies an important advancement in weather prediction based on AI. The model improves upon the firm’s previous weather model, which offered one estimate for future weather. In comparison, the new model consists of a collection of fifty or more forecasts, each standing for a potential weather trajectory. The multinational tech company, which reported its findings in Nature, stated that their…
