Machine Learning-Driven Noninvasive Prediction of Liver Fibrosis in Unclassified Liver Disease

Chronic liver diseases (CLDs) frequently progress silently to advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis, yet existing predictive models have largely been developed for patients with clearly defined etiologies. Here, we asked whether a noninvasive machine-learning model based on routine clinical variables and liver stiffness measurement (LSM) could accurately identify significant liver fibrosis in patients with CLD of uncertain etiology, and whether such a model would add value beyond conventional fibrosis scores for clinic…

Exploring the Impact of Generative AI ChatGPT on Critical Thinking in Higher Education: Passive AI-Directed Use or Human–AI Supported Collaboration?

Generative AI is weaving into the fabric of many human aspects through its transformative power to mimic human-generated content. It is not a mere technology; it functions as a generative virtual assistant, raising concerns about its impact on cognition and critical thinking. This mixed-methods study investigates how GenAI ChatGPT affects critical thinking across cognitive presence (CP) phases. Forty students from a four-year university in the southwestern United States completed a survey; six provided their Cha…

North Carolina man who used AI for music streaming fraud sentenced to 18 months in prison.

Michael Smith, who pleaded guilty earlier this year, was also ordered to pay over $8 million. According to the DOJ, that’s the amount he earned in royalties from using bots to stream hundreds of thousands of AI-generated songs from 2017 to 2024.

Mumsnet denies using AI for content after prompt appears on message board

Mumsnet has denied using AI to produce content after detailed instructions to help an AI model write one of its popular “am I being unreasonable” (AIBU) posts appeared on a Mumsnet message board. Users of the long-established forum, which is known for its frank discussions of family tensions, were vexed when the AI prompt appeared in response to a user seeking advice about a family dilemma involving a neurodivergent uncle and a sick child. The user, called AmIAComplete, had asked for “a sanity check” from other…

The UK’s G20 presidency will push Andy Burnham to the centre of the global stage. What will he use it for? | Michael Jacobs

Among the many crucial decisions Andy Burnham has to make over the next few weeks, one has gone almost completely unremarked: what Britain’s priorities will be when it assumes the presidency of the G20 next year. Burnham has said he wants to concentrate on domestic policy. But with the world in turmoil, chairing the group of the world’s largest economies will be one of his most important responsibilities. The last time the UK chaired the forum was in 2009, when Gordon Brown presided over the rescue of the global…

Bridging Domains: Advances in Explainable, Automated, and Privacy-Preserving AI for Computer Science and Cybersecurity

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly redefining both computer science and cybersecurity by enabling more intelligent, scalable, and privacy-conscious systems. While most prior surveys treat these fields in isolation, this paper provides a unified review of 256 peer-reviewed publications to bridge that gap. We examine how emerging AI paradigms, such as explainable AI (XAI), AI-augmented software development, and federated learning, are shaping technological progress across both domains. In computer science, AI…

Mechanistic insight into Metabolic Activation Mechanism of Aniline Disinfection Byproducts catalyzed by P450 Enzymes from Distinct Species: N-hydroxylation Mechanism

Disinfection by-products (DBPs) are emerging environmental pollutants generated from reactions between disinfectants and precursor compounds in the water treatment, which pose a serious toxicity effect to the ecological environment and human health. Metabolism, especially by P450 enzymes, is responsible for both the toxification and detoxification of xenobiotics in humans and other organisms. Multidisciplinary theoretical approaches utilizing density functional theory (DFT), quantitative structure-activity relat…

Consistency and accuracy of different artificial intelligence models in evaluating longitudinal cracks and fractures of teeth

Large language models such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini have attracted increasing attention in dentistry due to their potential to support clinical decision-making; however, their reliability in responding to endodontic questions remains unclear. This study compared the accuracy, consistency, and temporal stability of three artificial intelligence models (ChatGPT-3.5, ChatGPT-4o, and Google Gemini) when answering dichotomous clinical questions on vertical root fractures and tooth cracks using expert responses as…
