An unsupervised AI framework discovered a 13-marker cellular morphometric signature from colorectal whole-slide images that transferred to gastric and esophageal cancers and enabled risk stratification of precancerous lesions and early-stage cancers to guide surveillance and intervention.

Researchers developed an unsupervised, interpretable AI framework to define tissue-agnostic cellular morphometric biomarkers that capture conserved tumor microenvironment organization across gastrointestinal organs. Discovered in colorectal cancer slides and validated in gastric and esophageal cancers in a 2,602-patient multi-center cohort, a 13-marker signature showed prognostic value and enabled risk stratification of precancerous lesions and early-stage cancers.

Quantitative stylometry using Burrows' Delta can reliably separate LLM-generated short stories from human-authored stories, providing a measurable tool for authenticity and authorship checks.

Researchers compared human-authored short stories with stories generated by GPT-3.5, GPT-4, and Llama 70b in response to the same prompts, using Burrows' Delta and clustering methods including hierarchical clustering and multidimensional scaling to visualize stylistic relationships.

AI-assisted analysis of interview data from a quality improvement evaluation generated four themes that were replicable and grounded in the data.

In a quality improvement program evaluation, researchers used artificial intelligence to identify themes in interview data. By the publication date of 2026-08-24, the approach had produced four replicable themes grounded in the data, while also generating two consistently identified themes that were subtle misrepresentations.

Machine learning and deep learning models trained on MALDI-TOF spectra improved rapid classification of bacteria versus viruses, Gram-positive versus Gram-negative, and individual species, with Extra Trees showing best generalization to an external highly pathogenic bacteria dataset.

Researchers combined MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry with eight machine learning and two deep learning models trained with 5-fold cross validation on 255 spectra from seven bacteria and five viruses, then tested three top performers against an external Robert Koch Institute database of highly pathogenic bacteria.

Ecuadorian participants perceived that generative AI was used to disseminate disinformation during the 2025 presidential campaign, that it influenced the election outcome, and that it failed to increase trust in candidates or electoral legitimacy.

Between November 2024 and July 2025, researchers studied Ecuadorian perceptions of generative AI in the 2025 presidential election using surveys, expert interviews and sentiment analysis. They found participants believed AI-generated disinformation affected the result, did not improve trust in candidates or the electoral process, and produced widespread concern, mistrust and fear.

AI implementation in educational settings is associated with validated concerns about reduced human connection, data privacy and security risks, algorithmic bias, lack of transparency, and equity and reliability issues.

Published May 2024, this peer-reviewed study examined the downsides of AI in education through a systematic review of 56 studies and a validation survey of 260 participants from a Saudi Arabian university. It developed and tested a model that confirms concerns spanning human connection, data privacy and security, algorithmic bias, transparency, critical thinking, access equity, ethics, teacher development, reliability, and AI-generated content.
