Refining prompts and workflows within the proposed framework reduced major errors below previously reported human note-taking rates, supporting safer clinical documentation.

On 2025-05-13, a peer-reviewed framework was described for evaluating LLMs that automate summarising consultations into clinical notes. It combines an error taxonomy, iterative experimental comparisons, a clinical safety harm assessment, and the CREOLA interface, tested across 18 configurations with 12,999 clinician-annotated sentences.

AI and NLP models trained on text data can detect and analyze patterns across multiple categories of online fraud.

On June 13 2025, Crime Science published a systematic literature review of AI and NLP for online fraud detection. The authors screened 2457 records and analyzed 223 studies, mapping data sources, algorithms, and evaluation metrics across 16 fraud types and summarizing best-performing methods for detecting scams in text.

A proposed taxonomy for automated decision-making could improve identification of fundamental rights at stake in public migration, asylum and mobility decisions.

Published March 2024, this peer-reviewed article analyzes automated systems used in public decision-making for migration, asylum and mobility. It finds that GDPR and AI Act definitions centered on fully automated decisions miss common practices where systems assist human decision-makers, and it proposes a taxonomy to support fundamental rights analysis.

AI collected patient histories more effectively than general practitioners during initial consultations, with stronger performance in older patients and for allergies and family history of cancer.

In an online cross-sectional study in France with 204 general practitioners and 942 patient histories, researchers compared AI to physicians in recording histories during initial consultations across categories such as chronic disease, surgical, obstetric, occupational, allergies, and family cancer history.

Generative AI tools capable of producing wholly or partially synthetic CSAM increase risks of revictimization of known survivors, creation of synthetic material depicting children not previously abused, and facilitation of grooming, coercion, and sexual extortion.

As of its publication date 2026-04-06, this peer-reviewed primer examined generative AI systems able to produce wholly or partially synthetic child sexual abuse material and catalogued reported harms from technical, psychological, criminological, and law enforcement sources.

Rapid proliferation of AI-mediated digital afterlife technologies including chatbots trained on personal data, voice clones and posthumous avatars has created moral risks of posthumous simulation without operational governance constraints.

As of the June 2026 publication date, the authors describe a rapid proliferation of AI-mediated digital afterlife technologies and a growing ethical literature on their risks, without a matching operational framework. They propose a nine-dimensional taxonomy and a two-tier constraint model where consent, fidelity/disclosure, and purpose serve as threshold conditions for permissibility.

Detection skill did not generalize across modalities, and confidence did not track voice accuracy, leaving people vulnerable to deepfake-enabled identity theft and financial fraud despite some detection ability.

By June 2026, researchers had tested whether people can tell real from synthetic faces and voices and whether that skill transfers across senses. In a preregistered study, participants classified both types of stimuli, and performance for each modality was significantly above chance when measured with signal detection theory.

Same preservice teachers raised concerns that LLM outputs contained inaccuracies, encouraged overreliance, and were less useful for validation phases of modeling.

By April 2026, researchers studied 150 mastere28099s-level preservice teachers at a German university as they collaboratively solved three authentic mathematical modeling problems with large language models, analyzing interaction worksheets, surveys, and interviews.
