Machine learning models that incorporate compressed respiratory and oxygenation timeseries improved early prediction of BPD at 7 days after birth compared to clinical-data-only models.

In a retrospective study of 513 preterm infants in a neonatal intensive care unit between 2009-2015, investigators developed machine learning models to predict bronchopulmonary dysplasia within one week after birth using clinical data and respiratory and oxygenation timeseries. The best model combined clinical data with advanced timeseries features processed by a long short-term memory network, achieving AUC 0.83.

Deep learning models, especially U-Net variants and newer transformer ensembles, improved ischemic stroke lesion segmentation on MRI, achieving Dice scores above 0.80 and approaching 0.90 in multisite DWI reports, to support faster treatment selection and quantification.

By July 2026, a narrative review of 40 studies from 2020-2025 found deep learning, led by U-Net variants with residual and attention mechanisms and standardized pipelines like nnU-Net, increasingly achieved high Dice scores on MRI DWI/ADC, with many reports above 0.80 and recent transformer and ensemble multisite models approaching 0.90, while CT performance was lower and more variable.

AI used in the uncrewed systems can hallucinate and generate false results, creating risk of technical failure during autonomous operations.

In July 2026 the Royal Netherlands Navy began a five-week trial off Den Helder to test uncrewed surface vessels, aerial drones and underwater mine mappers operating as a coordinated system controlled by software, with the GeoSea vessel as a test base. The effort is part of a plan to have more than half of naval work done by uncrewed systems within five years and to eventually surround crewed ships with autonomous rings.
