By May 2025, progressive incorporation of AI into operational medicine had increased efficiency for early adopters including the United States military, with applied use in non-invasive medical imaging and mental health applications in front-line and support roles.

As of 14 May 2025, a peer-reviewed review in Bioengineering described how artificial intelligence had been progressively incorporated into operational medicine, which is conducted in challenging environments such as disaster or conflict areas. The article reported increased efficiency for early adopters, notably the United States military, with current use in non-invasive medical imaging and mental health applications across front-line and support roles.

Large language models represented by GPT-4 have been gradually implemented in clinical practice, medical research, and medical education with transformative potential for healthcare delivery.

This review describes the rapid development of large language models such as GPT-4 and their growing use in medicine. By May 2025, the authors state that LLMs have been gradually implemented in clinical practice, medical research, and medical education, while still facing challenges of hallucination, interpretability, and ethics.

Most agentic AI studies in healthcare were exploratory, limited in scope, lacked robust clinical validation, and lacked conceptual clarity, with only one trial involving patients.

A March 2026 scoping review in npj Digital Medicine examined agentic AI in healthcare, defined as systems capable of operating autonomously to achieve defined clinical goals. Across five databases, seven studies met criteria, spanning emergency medicine, oncology, radiology, and rehabilitation, with features including autonomous operation, goal-directed behavior, action initiation, and multi-agent collaboration.

High religiosity marginally weakens the positive link between digitalization and MSME labor productivity, reflecting transitional adaptation frictions in highly normative environments.

A peer-reviewed study of Indonesian provinces from 2020 to 2023 examined how digitalization and AI adoption relate to MSME labor productivity, using fixed-effects panel estimation and machine learning methods and framing results with Ibn Khaldun's institutional ideas.

Autonomous research systems could overwhelm peer review infrastructure and pollute scientific literature with low-quality or noisy papers.

Researchers built The AI Scientist, an agentic system using foundation models to automate conception, coding, experimentation, data analysis, manuscript writing, and peer review. By March 2026 they reported that a manuscript fully generated by the system passed first-round review for a workshop at a top-tier machine learning conference.

Relying on passive AI copying at work reduced self-efficacy, psychological ownership, and work meaningfulness, with declines in efficacy and meaningfulness persisting after returning to manual work.

Researchers ran a pre-registered lab experiment with 269 participants doing occupation-specific writing under no AI, passive AI copying, or active drafting-then-refining, plus a 270-person real-world survey. Passive copying reduced self-efficacy, ownership, and meaningfulness, with efficacy and meaningfulness losses persisting after returning to manual work, while active collaboration preserved connection similar to working alone.
