Machine learning models trained on TriNetX data stratified patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors into risk tiers for cardiac immune-related adverse events within 90 days, achieving moderate discrimination.

Researchers built and tested machine learning models to predict cardiac immune-related adverse events shortly after starting immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. Using records for 61,117 patients from TriNetX from 2010 to 2023, they defined events by diagnosis codes within 90 days plus hospital visits and compared elastic net logistic regression, gradient boosted trees, and random forest models.

A LightGBM model trained on metabolomic data predicted incident major depressive disorder among obese participants with AUCs around 0.82-0.84 over 3 to 9 years and outperformed existing clinical models.

Researchers developed metabolomics-based machine learning models to stratify future major depressive disorder risk among 41,459 obese participants followed for a median of 14.4 years. The optimized LightGBM model achieved AUCs of 0.844, 0.824 and 0.834 for 3-, 5- and 9-year predictions and outperformed existing clinical models, with temporal validation showing AUCs of 0.738-0.776.

Advances in AI have enabled opportunistic identification of osteoporosis and other pathologies on imaging performed for other indications.

This opinion article examines the concept of clinical justification for osteoporosis imaging, noting that advances in imaging and AI now permit opportunistic identification of osteoporosis and other conditions beyond the original scan purpose, and discusses how these opportunistic tools might eventually become standalone justified diagnostic pathways.

Expanding PFAS production to meet AI datacentre and semiconductor demand risks creating a new tidal wave of persistent forever chemicals that never degrade and undermines emerging restrictions.

On 14 September 2026 The Guardian reported a ChemSec survey of the 10 biggest PFAS manufacturers finding nearly all plan to increase production at sites in Europe, Asia and North America to meet AI industry demand. Companies frame investments around the AI revolution, citing PFAS use in semiconductor fabrication and in two-phase immersion cooling where servers are immersed in low-boiling-point PFAS fluid.
