Among 358 medical students surveyed, higher digital literacy was associated with more positive attitudes towards artificial intelligence and was the strongest independent factor in adjusted analysis.

A peer-reviewed cross-sectional study of 358 medical students from November 2025 to January 2026 examined factors linked to attitudes toward AI using online questionnaires including digital literacy and emotional intelligence scales. Most students had used AI, but majorities reported ethical or legal concerns and worries about reduced clinical reasoning.

TrialTriage achieved perfect concordance with ground truth on 90 synthetic phase I oncology cases and reclassified ambiguous cases to definitive eligibility after capturing investigator email replies, processing cases in seconds compared to slower manual review.

Researchers developed TrialTriage, a semiautonomous prescreening workflow on the n8n platform that uses large language model extraction from clinical narratives and investigator email replies plus a 7-criterion deterministic rule engine to classify phase I oncology trial eligibility, automatically emailing investigators when information is missing and reclassifying after reply capture.

An ensemble of five machine learning algorithms applied to spinal anesthesia cases identified actionable risk factors for postoperative nausea and vomiting, with postoperative fentanyl as the strongest contributor, and was described as accurate enough to support PONV prediction.

A retrospective study at Tohoku University Hospital applied an ensemble of five machine learning algorithms to 4,574 spinal anesthesia cases from 2010 to 2022, using propensity score matching to compare 269 patients with PONV to 269 without, to predict and explain postoperative nausea and vomiting within 24 hours.

Writers who used LLM-generated story ideas produced short stories that were more similar to each other, reducing collective diversity and producing a narrower scope of novel content.

In an online experiment reported July 12 2024, researchers gave some writers LLM-generated story ideas and had independent evaluators rate the resulting short stories. By that date they observed that access to AI ideas caused higher ratings for creativity, writing quality, and enjoyment, especially for less creative writers.

Deployment of AI systems leaves individuals increasingly unable to understand or seek accountability for resulting harms, eroding the human rights framework's core function of empowering individuals against power disparities

Published 2024-08-19, this peer-reviewed article argues that AI's impact on human rights extends beyond discrete violations to a deeper attritional degradation. Using the concept of slow violence, it contends individuals lose capacity to comprehend and contest AI-driven harms, discrete rights lose their normative justifications, and even broad notions of human dignity fail to capture new challenges

Complexity and volume of wearable sensor data create substantial modeling challenges, with additional barriers of data quality, computational requirements, interpretability, and privacy concerns for LLM deployment.

As of August 4, 2024, this peer-reviewed survey in Sensors reviewed early trends in using large language models such as GPT-4 and Llama to model vast wearable sensor data for human activity recognition, health monitoring, and behavioral modeling, integrating them with time series and deep learning methods.

AI-integrated microfluidic technologies face persistent challenges in manufacturing, clinical validation, and system integration that limit translation into routine clinical and public health practice.

A February 2026 review in Biosensors summarizes how lab-on-a-chip systems have been advanced through 3D printing, modular substrates, and biosensor integration, and how coupling with AI and machine learning has created smart platforms for cancer diagnostics, infectious disease detection, point-of-care testing, and therapeutic monitoring.
