Opportunities for Artificial Intelligence in Operational Medicine: Lessons from the United States Military

Conducted in challenging environments such as disaster or conflict areas, operational medicine presents unique challenges for the delivery of efficient and quality healthcare. It exposes first responders and medical personnel to many unexpected health risks and dangerous situations. To tackle these issues, artificial intelligence (AI) has been progressively incorporated into operational medicine, both on the front lines and also more recently in support roles. The ability of AI to rapidly analyze high-dimensiona…

A foundation model for the Earth system

Reliable forecasting of the Earth system is essential for mitigating natural disasters and supporting human progress. Traditional numerical models, although powerful, are extremely computationally expensive1. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have shown promise in improving both predictive performance and efficiency2,3, yet their potential remains underexplored in many Earth system domains. Here we introduce Aurora, a large-scale foundation model trained on more than one million hours of diverse ge…

Large Language Models in Medicine: Applications, Challenges, and Future Directions

In recent years, large language models (LLMs) represented by GPT-4 have developed rapidly and performed well in various natural language processing tasks, showing great potential and transformative impact. The medical field, due to its vast data information as well as complex diagnostic and treatment processes, is undoubtedly one of the most promising areas for the application of LLMs. At present, LLMs has been gradually implemented in clinical practice, medical research, and medical education. However, in pract…

Evidence of a social evaluation penalty for using AI

Despite the rapid proliferation of AI tools, we know little about how people who use them are perceived by others. Drawing on theories of attribution and impression management, we propose that people believe they will be evaluated negatively by others for using AI tools and that this belief is justified. We examine these predictions in four preregistered experiments (N = 4,439) and find that people who use AI at work anticipate and receive negative evaluations regarding their competence and motivation. Further,…

Gender differences in artificial intelligence: the role of artificial intelligence anxiety

Introduction: Artificial intelligence (AI) is having a significant impact on people's lives. Despite the benefits associated with this technological advancement, there may be gender-related inequalities in accessing and using AI systems. The present study aimed to test gender differences in factors likely to influence AI adoption, in particular, the moderating role of gender in the relationship between AI anxiety and positive attitudes toward AI. Method: Participants were 335 adults (52.2% women; mean age = 29.9…

A framework to assess clinical safety and hallucination rates of LLMs for medical text summarisation

Integrating large language models (LLMs) into healthcare can enhance workflow efficiency and patient care by automating tasks such as summarising consultations. However, the fidelity between LLM outputs and ground truth information is vital to prevent miscommunication that could lead to compromise in patient safety. We propose a framework comprising (1) an error taxonomy for classifying LLM outputs, (2) an experimental structure for iterative comparisons in our LLM document generation pipeline, (3) a clinical sa…

Applications of AI-Based Models for Online Fraud Detection and Analysis

Abstract Background Fraud is a prevalent offence that extends beyond financial loss, impacting victims emotionally, psychologically, and physically. Advances in online communication technologies continue to create new opportunities for fraud, and fraudsters increasingly using these channels for deception. With the progression of technologies like Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), there is a growing concern that fraud will increase in scale using these advanced methods, with offenders employing deep-fak…

When Is a Decision Automated? A Taxonomy for a Fundamental Rights Analysis

Abstract This Article addresses the pressing issues surrounding the use of automated systems in public decision-making, specifically focusing on migration, asylum, and mobility. Drawing on empirical data, this Article examines the potential and limitations of the General Data Protection Regulation and the Artificial Intelligence Act in effectively addressing the challenges posed by automated decision-making (ADM). The Article argues that the current legal definitions and categorizations of ADM fail to capture th…

Performance of artificial intelligence in the collection of patient history in general practice

Automating administrative tasks, such as compiling a patient's medical history, could help general practitioners in their daily work. AI performance has improved in recent decades, but skepticism among professionals limits its use in medical practice, due to fears of gaps and biases. This study attempts to evaluate the effectiveness of AI in recording patient histories compared to general practitioners. Cross-sectional study. SITE: Online study in France. French general practitioners recruited online. We compare…

Harnessing data science and artificial intelligence to advance implementation research and practice

Implementation science aims to bridge the gap between research evidence and routine health care practice by understanding and optimizing the integration of evidence-based interventions. In this paper, we identify seven persistent challenges limiting implementation progress, including (1) overwhelming volume of implementation materials (e.g., reports, interviews, surveys); (2) contextual variability; (3) complex interactions between contextual factors, interventions, and outcomes; (4) interest holder engagement c…
