Integration of AI into music creation enables new forms of infringement that complicate protection of musical works through illegal copying and digital remixing.

The peer-reviewed article analyzes how digital technologies have transformed protection of musical works, moving from analog media to online platforms. It identifies streaming piracy, illegal copying, AI use, and digital remixing as emerging threats and reviews legal and technical tools including registration, DRM, watermarks, and blockchain, alongside international and Russian practice.

The model missed 21.2% of expert-defined high-risk cases with sensitivity of 78.8%, and three-level risk stratification accuracy was only 76.3% with 98.6% of errors being downward shifts that underestimate risk.

Researchers retrospectively tested ChatGPT on 300 histopathologically confirmed oral lichen planus cases with at least 24 months of follow-up, using serial clinical records, intraoral photographs, and histopathology reports. Compared with blinded expert panel consensus, the model achieved 94.7% accuracy for trajectory classification and 78.8% sensitivity with 99.6% specificity for high-risk detection as of the August 2026 publication.

When tuned for ≥95% sensitivity screening, the models suffered a steep parallel decline in specificity and cannot safely eliminate the need for lumbar puncture, with top non-linear models showing severe training optimism.

Researchers retrospectively analyzed 306 infants aged 1 to 90 days hospitalized between 2014 and 2022 in Khorasan Razavi, Iran, using CSF culture via lumbar puncture as the gold standard, to train nine machine learning classifiers on routine non-invasive paraclinical markers with nested cross-validation and SHAP interpretation.

Fixed 20-epoch training without checkpoint selection wasted most compute, with 78% to 84% of total emissions occurring after the optimal checkpoint had already been reached.

In a study published August 12, 2026, researchers quantified CO2eq emissions for training ResNet-50, DenseNet-121 and EfficientNet-B0 on 128,907 chest radiographs for 20 epochs. They found validation loss minima at median epochs 2 to 4, meaning most emissions occurred after the best checkpoint, and compared retrospective selection, prospective early stopping, and fixed-epoch training on AUC and energy use.
