A deep neural network trained on DFT data learned a transferable potential that predicts total energies for organic molecules with chemical accuracy versus DFT, generalizing to systems up to 54 atoms despite training on smaller molecules.

On Feb 8 2017, researchers described ANI, a deep neural network architecture that uses atomic environment vectors derived from modified symmetry functions to learn molecular energies from quantum mechanical DFT calculations, and introduced Normal Mode Sampling to efficiently sample potential surfaces.

Decision-tree ensemble approach called deep forest achieves excellent performance across different domains using the same default setting while requiring fewer hyper-parameters and automatically determining model complexity without gradient-based adjustment or backpropagation.

As of the 2018-10-08 publication, researchers proposed deep forest, a decision-tree ensemble that stacks non-differentiable modules in layers to replicate deep learning characteristics without using backpropagation for training.

Trust and Safety defenders can use generative AI to detect and mitigate harmful content at scale and support investigations and moderator wellbeing.

On April 13, 2026, a peer-reviewed CHI paper reported a qualitative study of 43 Trust & Safety experts across child safety, election integrity, hate and harassment, scams, and violent extremism. It found generative AI both expands attacker capabilities and offers new defensive tools for detection and mitigation.

ApexGO generated optimized peptide derivatives that showed enhanced antimicrobial activity in vitro and potent anti-infective efficacy in mouse models of Acinetobacter baumannii infection.

Researchers developed ApexGO, a generative AI approach that modifies existing peptide scaffolds using a transformer variational autoencoder and Bayesian optimization. Using ten template peptides, the system proposed optimized derivatives, 100 of which were synthesized and tested in vitro and in two mouse models of Acinetobacter baumannii infection.

Art students classified as enthusiastic explorers and human-centered directors report using generative AI as a controllable tool that enables novel expression and co-agency in creative work.

Published February 28 2026, this peer-reviewed study examined how art students negotiate creative identity when working with generative AI. Forty students from visual arts, design, music, and animation sorted 42 statements about collaboration, authorship, ethics, and control, and factor analysis revealed five distinct perspectives ranging from human-centered direction to enthusiastic exploration.

University students in Qatar reported willingness to use AI-based mental health tools for stress management as a complement to human care, valuing lower cost and round-the-clock access.

On 2026-05-06 a peer-reviewed survey study reported results from 220 university students in Qatar about AI in mental health support. Students reported low-to-moderate awareness and trust, said they were prepared to use AI for stress management but did not want it to replace face-to-face therapy, and cited benefits of cost reduction and 24/7 accessibility alongside concerns about human interaction, overreliance and diagnostic accuracy.

HAIRA maturity model provides tiered benchmarks that let healthcare organizations assess current governance and advance based on available resources.

On 2026-02-11, authors reported a systematic review of 35 healthcare AI implementation frameworks from 2019-2024, identifying seven critical governance domains. They used those findings to develop HAIRA, a five-level maturity model from Level 1 Initial/Ad Hoc to Level 5 Leading with benchmarks across the domains.
