Machine learning, deep learning and reinforcement learning techniques improve cybersecurity systems' ability to detect and mitigate cyberattacks including malware and intrusions.

Published January 2024, this IEEE Access survey reviews how machine learning, deep learning and reinforcement learning are applied to cybersecurity tasks such as malware detection, intrusion detection and vulnerability assessment, including evaluation of ChatGPT-like tools on both defensive and offensive sides.

An AI model trained on surgical video frames achieved automated real-time detection and segmentation of bladder neck, adenoma and peripheral zone during robot-assisted prostate enucleation with high Dice scores and >60 fps inference.

In a retrospective single-centre pilot, investigators developed a YOLOv11-based model to automatically detect and segment three key landmarks during robot-assisted single-port transvesical enucleation of the prostate using 611 annotated frames from 37 procedures performed by one expert surgeon.

A zero-shot LLM-assisted workflow improved automated identification of cardiovascular events from EMRs, achieving the highest AUCs for stroke, MI and composite MACE in two cohorts compared to ICD codes, primary diagnosis and problem list methods.

A multisite retrospective validation study in a US tertiary health system compared four automated EMR retrieval methods to manual chart adjudication for ischaemic stroke/TIA, MI, HF exacerbation/hospitalisation and composite MACE in 2258 patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors and 1426 patients who underwent TAVR. The zero-shot LLM workflow achieved the highest AUCs for most outcomes, while ICD-based retrieval remained competitive.

An AI reinforcement learning model trained on Swedish population data produced efficient, low-cost diagnostic sequences for moderate to severe breathlessness with high diagnostic yield, prioritizing BMI, anxiety/depression, physical activity, and spirometry before lung diffusion, CT, and hemoglobin tests.

On 2026-08-13, researchers reported developing an AI reinforcement learning model using Swedish population data to determine cost-effective diagnostic pathways for chronic breathlessness. The model evaluated 16 clinically relevant conditions with associated tests and costs, generating tailored sequences for subgroups defined by sex and smoking exposure.

AI-driven decision support systems cause erosion of medical expertise and reduction of opportunities for skill acquisition, creating risks of skill degradation and vulnerabilities in clinical judgment among medical professionals.

As of August 2025, this peer-reviewed mixed-method review synthesized existing literature on AI in healthcare, finding that AI-driven decision support systems reshape clinical practice by offering enhanced decision-making while simultaneously being linked to deskilling and upskilling inhibition among medical professionals.

Personalized nutrition using digital health and AI faces unresolved challenges including data privacy risks, cost disparities, and need for robust clinical validation before widespread use.

By September 2025, a peer-reviewed review in Food Science & Nutrition described an emerging model that combines continuous glucose monitors, AI-driven meal planning, and mobile health apps to tailor nutrition for diabetes and obesity based on genetic, epigenetic, microbiome, and real-time metabolic data.
