AI patients, real practice: exploring the use of AI-simulated patients to support primary healthcare training for combat medical technicians

Introduction Combat Medical Technicians (CMTs) are central to military primary care but have limited opportunity for clinical exposure. Simulated patients offer a controlled method to maintain clinical currency. Advances in conversational artificial intelligence (AI) enable realistic and interactive simulated consultations. We present our evaluation of the feasibility, acceptability and educational impact of AI-simulated patients for CMT training. Methods Five military primary care simulated patients were develo…

Redefining the design innovation process: Embedding sustainability through AI-generated camping cookware

With the increasing interest in glamping, the demand for more functional camping cookware has grown, driving innovation in its design. This study aims to explore innovative solutions for camping cookware, and establishes a systematic product conceptual design process through the integration of artificial intelligence-generated content (AIGC) and appropriate data analysis tools. Following the case study, by integrating sustainability-related principles, the study proposes an AIGC-assisted design process for susta…

‘Was I scared going back to China? No’: Ai Weiwei on AI, western censorship and returning home

Ai Weiwei is talking me through the decision-making process before his first visit to China in over a decade. The artist, known around the world as the most famous critic of the Chinese communist regime, had to do some fraught arithmetic before deciding to head back home. Before boarding a flight with his son, who had never met the artist’s elderly mother, Ai thought back to his time in detention when his captors told him he would spend the next 13 years in custody on bogus charges: “They said, ‘When you come ou…

We must reject any notion of AI consciousness | Letters

Anil Seth is right to point out that to overestimate artificial intelligence is to underestimate ourselves (Once again we are told AI may be conscious – I study consciousness, and I have my doubts, 15 July). But he is wrong only to have doubts about whether AI systems like Claude may become conscious. He should be certain, and should say so more forcefully. It’s not like anything to be Claude, just as it’s not like anything to be a washing machine. An academic education is not required to realise that, common se…

The Rise and Fall of the Artificial State by Jill Lepore review – an ominous warning of tech takeover

Pulitzer prize-winning US historian Jill Lepore’s new book addresses the threat posed to liberal democracy by artificial intelligence. According to Lepore, the extraordinary power of private tech companies led by men whose priorities may not align with the wellbeing of the Earth or its inhabitants is set to destroy civilisation as we know it. Lepore’s concept of the Artificial State is capacious. It includes both a fantasy desired by a select few and a reality that is already with us. The fantasy is of an atomis…
