Use of Ambient AI Scribes to Reduce Administrative Burden and Professional Burnout

Importance: While in short supply and high demand, ambulatory care clinicians spend more time on administrative tasks and documentation in the electronic health record than on direct patient care, which has been associated with burnout, intention to leave, and reduced quality of care. Objective: To examine whether ambient AI scribes are associated with reducing clinician administrative burden and burnout. Design, Setting, and Participants: This quality improvement study used preintervention and 30-day postinterv…

Cognitive offloading or cognitive overload? How AI alters the mental architecture of coping

Artificial intelligence (AI) has moved from being a specialized technological tool to an intimate presence in everyday life. Smart assistants organize our schedules, predictive systems anticipate our needs, and therapeutic chatbots promise to listen when no human is available (Zhang & Wang, 2024). The diffusion of AI into mental health care is often framed in highly optimistic terms: technologies that reduce stigma, democratize access, and provide affordable, always-on support (M & N, 2025;Sivasubramanian Balasu…

AI-driven multi-omics integration in precision oncology: bridging the data deluge to clinical decisions

Cancer's staggering molecular heterogeneity demands innovative approaches beyond traditional single-omics methods. The integration of multi-omics data, spanning genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and radiomics, can improve diagnostic and prognostic accuracy when accompanied by rigorous preprocessing and external validation; for example, recent integrated classifiers report AUCs around 0.81-0.87 for difficult early-detection tasks. This review synthesizes how artificial intelligence (AI), particu…

Enabling access or automating empathy? Using chatbots to support GBV survivors in conflicts and humanitarian emergencies

Abstract Interest in the use of chatbots powered by large language models (LLMs) to support women and girls in conflicts and humanitarian crises, including survivors of gender-based violence (GBV), appears to be increasing. Chatbots could offer a last-resort solution for GBV survivors who are unable or unwilling to access relevant information and support in a safe and timely manner. With the right investment and guard-rails, chatbots might also help treat some symptoms related to mental health and psychosocial c…
