Beyond BMI: Deep Learning Segmentation-Driven CT Reveals Body Composition Changes after Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery

Background BMI is the primary metric used to evaluate outcomes of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS), but it does not distinguish tissue compartments or quantify visceral adiposity (VAT), a key determinant of cardiometabolic risk. We evaluated the relationship between BMI and VAT and characterized compartment-specific remodeling after MBS using artificial intelligence-enabled CT segmentation. Study design A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected abdominal CT scans was performed at a single tertiary…

D-topia review – cosy sci-fi mystery takes aim at AI

In the far future, on a planet that is not Earth, AI is in charge. This entity is no Skynet-esque killer robot but a machine that cares for humanity. Manifesting most visibly as cute droids, the technology is pervasive – embedded in everything from the design of the sleek architecture to the gorgeous, mostly sunny artificial weather. The so-called Optimization System has but one responsibility: ensuring the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people. In less skilled hands this game might have felt like…

Robots, AI and drones: how the Dutch navy is using tech to transform its sea defences

On each side of the target ship, a black vessel keeps a watchful distance. Defender 1 and Defender 2 are the eyes and ears of the navy – but they have nobody onboard, and their paths are controlled by a computer system. This is the future of the Royal Netherlands Navy, according to Capt Sjoerd Feenstra, head of the expertise centre for unmanned systems. He is leading a five-week mission, off the coast of Den Helder in the north of the country, to test the limits of systems that operate without the human touch. “…

‘Not up for grabs’: Albanese establishes AI office and vows to protect Australian creatives from copyright ‘theft’

Anthony Albanese has promised “the strongest possible protection” for Australian creatives against misuse of their work by artificial intelligence models, warning it would be “theft” if writers, artists and musicians didn’t have control of their work or receive payment for its use. Amid growing community concern about large energy-intensive datacentres, the federal government will also set strict new rules for the facilities, including where they can be built, that they shouldn’t compete for land with housing, t…

Advancing Decision-Making through AI-Human Collaboration: A Systematic Review and Conceptual Framework

Abstract The interplay between humans and artificial intelligence (AI) in decision-making has become increasingly intricate and significant. Despite rapid advancements, the literature remains fragmented, with limited integrative frameworks to explain how AI-human dynamics and decision-making typologies shape outcomes. This study addresses this critical gap by conducting a systematic review and bibliometric analysis of 627 articles, culminating in a novel conceptual framework. The framework identifies two critica…

Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled First-in-Human Trial of a First-in-Class AI-Designed Monoclonal Antibody (GB-0669) Against the Conserved SARS-CoV-2 Spike S2 Stem Helix

Background Antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor-binding domain provided effective COVID-19 treatment until resistant variants emerged. GB-0669 is a half-life-extended monoclonal antibody optimized using artificial intelligence. It targets the conserved spike S2 stem helix, a region subject to limited selective pressure from antibody responses induced by natural infection or vaccination. Methods Pre-clinical safety studies were conducted in cynomolgus monkeys. In the first-in-human trial, healthy adul…

Comprehensive analysis of neutrophil extracellular traps-associated inflammatory genes for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) facilitate inflammation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), promoting the progression of pulmonary fibrosis. Various machine learning methods were used to screen for prognostic genes. Based on prognostic genes, a risk model was constructed to assess their ability for prognosis prediction of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis evaluated causal associations between IPF and prognostic genes, while GSE122960 examined cell-type-spec…

The OdyssAI.

Ash Koosha — the director behind the $2,000 AI-generated movie that debuted at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival — has apparently made his own adaptation of The Odyssey, which will be available to rent / buy from Fountain 0 some time later this summer.
