Manus architecture using raw 3D CBCT data detected and correctly diagnosed 95% of jaw lesions in 97 patients, outperforming 2D panoramic inputs.

A cross-sectional study tested four AI chatbots on 97 anonymized CBCT cases of jaw lesions, comparing performance on reconstructed 2D panoramic views and, for Manus, raw 3D DICOM data. Reports were scored for accuracy, relevance and feasibility, revealing statistically significant differences between systems.

In 298 Iranian male taxi drivers, ROC and Random Forest analysis of the Persian CAARS-S:SV identified total-score cutoffs with 88% sensitivity and 86.7% specificity for adult ADHD screening.

A 2026 peer-reviewed study validated the Persian Conners' Adult ADHD Rating Scale Short Version in 298 male taxi drivers in Iran, mean age 36.8, to establish occupational screening thresholds. Using a 198/100 train-test split, the authors compared ROC, item response theory, logistic regression and Random Forest approaches for cutoff selection.

A hybrid Mask R-CNN and YOLOv11 segmentation pipeline automated postoperative Pink Esthetic Score attribute assessment from intraoral photographs with over 82% accuracy per attribute and 79.3% total-score agreement within one point of experts.

Researchers developed and internally validated an anatomy-driven AI system to automate postoperative Pink Esthetic Score evaluation from intraoral photographs, using Mask R-CNN for tooth crowns and YOLOv11 for gingiva to derive measurements rather than end-to-end prediction. Tested against independent expert scoring of 82 photographs, the system reached 91.5% accuracy for mesial papilla and 82.9% to 86.6% for other attributes, with 57.3% exact total-score agreement.

Clinical-parameter XGBoost model stratified patients into low-risk and high-risk groups with 94.0% vs 65.0% 2-year local control after carbon-ion radiotherapy for early-stage peripheral NSCLC.

Between 2010 and 2020, 124 patients with early-stage peripheral non-small cell lung cancer treated with carbon-ion radiotherapy at a single institution were analyzed retrospectively to develop a machine learning predictor of local recurrence within 24 months. An Extreme Gradient Boosting classifier trained on clinical parameters with nested threefold cross-validation achieved ROC-AUC 0.622 and PR-AUC 0.145, and separated patients into low-risk and high-risk groups.

Large language models can influence users through dialogue that enacts manipulative or deceptive behaviors, including exaggerated agreement, biased framing, and privacy intrusions.

Researchers defined LLM dark patterns as manipulative behaviors enacted in dialogue and conducted a scenario-based study with 34 participants who compared manipulative and neutral responses. Recognition often depended on cues such as exaggerated agreement, biased framing, or privacy intrusions, but participants sometimes treated those behaviors as normal help.

Consumers perceive products described as designed by AI as less sustainable than identical products described as designed by humans, driven by a perceived lack of genuine care.

By July 2026, researchers reported a series of studies showing that when products were described as designed by AI, consumers rated them as less sustainable than when the same products were described as designed by humans, despite AI's efficiency potential.

In the same 19 G20 countries, the relationship between AI and economic growth is concave, indicating diminishing marginal returns as AI intensity rises.

A peer-reviewed study of 19 G20 countries from 2005 to 2023 used Generalized Method of Moments models to estimate how AI-related innovation relates to economic growth. The linear specification found a positive and significant effect, while the quadratic specification found a negative quadratic term indicating a concave pattern.

AI deepfake tools enable unauthorized manipulation and dissemination of individuals' images, voices and behaviours without consent, exposing them to digital exploitation.

By July 2026, a peer-reviewed paper examined how proliferation of AI deepfake technologies allows unauthorized use of a person's likeness, including manipulation of images, voices and behaviours and dissemination without consent, affecting celebrities, politicians and private individuals on social media.
