In routine practice between May 2023 and May 2025, Brainomix e-CTA achieved 84% sensitivity and 95% specificity for LVO detection and reduced time to diagnostic conclusion for readers of different experience levels, with 94% sensitivity for ICA/proximal M1 occlusions.

Between May 2023 and May 2025, researchers retrospectively evaluated 531 multiphase CTA examinations from consecutive patients with suspected acute ischemic stroke at a single center, comparing Brainomix e-CTA automated LVO detection to expert neuroradiologist interpretation.

Convolutional neural networks trained on four Scheimpflug-based corneal maps differentiated keratoconus from normal astigmatic eyes with up to 99.2% accuracy and AUC 1.00, with external validation retaining 97-98% accuracy.

By July 2026, a cross-sectional study at Al-Shifa Trust Eye Hospital in Pakistan developed four CNN models on 5602 Scheimpflug-derived corneal maps from 1411 eyes to distinguish keratoconus from normal eyes, reporting internal accuracies of 98.1% to 99.2% and AUCs up to 1.00, with external validation on 85 participants confirming 97.1% to 98.3% accuracy.

An AI decision support system using ID3 entropy and enhanced Monte Carlo tree search delivered real-time basketball strategy evaluation in about 3.13 seconds with 74% win rate and 84% decision rationality.

Researchers built a real-time strategic decision support system for sports that combines an ID3 decision tree using entropy change with an enhanced Monte Carlo tree search that picks the maximum UCT node. Tested in basketball contexts, the system averaged about 3.13 seconds per decision and was reported to reach 74% win rate and 84% decision rationality.

In a real-world care facility test by April 2026, the ZigBee-based AI telehealth framework monitoring elderly and chronically ill patients achieved 95% accuracy with 100% recall for health discrepancy detection while operating at 120 ms transmission delay and 3.8 mW/h power consumption.

Researchers built and tested a ZigBee-based wireless system that connects wearable sensors for heart rate, temperature and oxygen to cloud AI models including random forest, SVM and logistic regression. By April 2026, tests in a care facility reported 95% accuracy, 100% recall, 120 ms delay and 3.8 mW/h power use.

Current discussion of AI in higher education focuses on adoption and efficiency with insufficient attention to interpretive and governance conditions needed for responsible institutional use

As of May 2026, a peer-reviewed study examined AI adoption in higher education, noting its growing use to support teaching, learning, administration, quality assurance, and institutional planning. Based on interviews with 16 key informants, a focus group with 9 additional participants, and document analysis, the authors identified themes including AI as an institutional governance project and as a system-shaping force.
