Large Language Model Performance and Clinical Reasoning Tasks

Importance: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly marketed for clinical use, yet their ability to replicate full-spectrum clinical reasoning remains uncertain. Existing evaluations often rely on multiple-choice examinations that do not reflect the complexity of patient care. Objectives: To evaluate the longitudinal clinical reasoning ability of state-of-the-art LLMs and to introduce a multidimensional, clinically meaningful benchmark for clinical-grade artificial intelligence (AI). Design, Setting, and P…

Artificial intelligence applications in sport-related concussion: an updated scoping review

OBJECTIVES: Sport-related concussion is a complex mild traumatic brain injury for which diagnosis, monitoring, and prognosis remain largely dependent on subjective clinical assessment. Artificial intelligence has emerged as a potential tool to enhance objectivity by integrating large, multimodal datasets across the concussion care pathway. DESIGN: Scoping review. METHODS: A systematic literature search was conducted across six databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, SPORTDiscus, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central)…

AI and human designers: How consumers see the genuine care in product design as more sustainable

Abstract Across a series of studies, we find that despite AI’s potential for greater efficiency in sustainable product designs, AI-designed products are perceived by consumers as less sustainable than those designed by humans. We demonstrate that this effect is driven by a perceived lack of genuine care, defined as the emotional component believed to go into a product’s design. Since sustainability is symbolically linked to values such as love and care, the absence of human involvement undermines perceptions of…

Artificial intelligence and economic growth in G20 economies: investigating nonlinear effects through a GMM method

This study investigates the non-linear impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on economic growth in 19 G20 countries, using data from 2005 to 2023 and employing the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) with both linear and quadratic models. The linear model indicates that AI-related innovation has a positive and significant effect on economic growth, while the negative quadratic term confirms a concave relationship between AI and growth. Regarding the effects of AI interactions with various mechanisms on economic…

AI-powered voice assistants for older adults: a literature review of insights, research practices, and future directions

As the global population of older adults grows, AI-powered Voice Assistants (VAs) are explored as tools to mitigate loneliness, social isolation, and cognitive decline. By enabling intuitive, hands-free interaction, VAs provide a means to enhance independence, emotional well-being, and daily functioning for older adults. This paper presents a systematic review on older adults’ interactions with VAs, analysing 48 studies, which is more than double the scope of prior reviews. Studies were selected from an initial…

Model Context Protocol (MCP) at First Glance: Studying the Security and Maintainability of MCP Servers

Although Foundation Models (FMs), such as GPT-4, are increasingly used in domains like finance and software engineering, reliance on textual interfaces limits these models’ real-world interaction. To address this, FM providers introduced tool calling—triggering a proliferation of frameworks with distinct tool interfaces. In late 2024, Anthropic introduced the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to standardize this tool ecosystem. With SDK downloads surpassing twenty five million per week and 86% of enterprises using mo…

Understanding critical thinking in generative artificial intelligence use: Development, validation, and correlates of the critical thinking in AI use scale

Generative AI tools are increasingly embedded in everyday work and learning, yet their fluency, opacity, and propensity to hallucinate mean that users must critically evaluate AI outputs rather than accept them at face value. The present research conceptualises critical thinking in AI use as a dispositional tendency to verify the source and content of AI-generated information, to understand how models work and where they fail, and to reflect on the broader implications of relying on AI. Across six studies ( N =…

The use of artificial intelligence in mathematics education: perceptions among young university students

Abstract Students consider artificial intelligence (AI) to be a valuable tool for developing their skills in an educational context, particularly in the teaching of mathematics. The main objective of this research is to determine whether the use of AI is valid and reliable in the context of mathematics teaching. This study involved a sample of 853 university students from Melilla, Ceuta and Granada, using an ad hoc quantitative research design, and employing a questionnaire validated by a group of experts to car…

AI-Driven Predictive Analytics for Supply Chain Resilience, Financial Risk Management, and Digital Marketing Strategy: A Unified Business Intelligence Framework

The arrival of artificial intelligence and big-data analytics at scale has begun to redraw the strategic map of the modern enterprise. Three areas sit close to the center of that change: how firms manage their supply chains, how they assess financial risk, and how they think about digital marketing. Each has its own substantial literature, yet the three are seldom examined together inside a single, properly governed analytical architecture. This paper sets out to close that gap. We develop and empirically valida…

Beyond Generative Intelligence: A Comprehensive Review of Emerging Artificial Intelligence Paradigms, Explainability Challenges, Ethical Risks, and Future Directions

The artificial intelligence landscape has undergone a profound transformation from narrow, task-specific automation to sophisticated, multi-paradigm systems capable of autonomous reasoning, emotional understanding, and creative generation. This systematic literature review synthesizes 141 peer-reviewed studies published between 2018 and 2026 to map the evolution of AI paradigms beyond the dominant Generative AI breakthrough. Following PRISMA guidelines, we analyzed 4,250 initial records across six major academic…

Deepfake-induced harm and AI accountability: a layered civil-liability framework for generative models, platforms, and digital identity

Deepfake and other synthetic-media harms create a civil-liability problem that ordinary tort doctrine does not easily resolve: harmful content may be generated, amplified, monetised, and redistributed through a chain of actors in which no single participant controls the whole causal process. The objective of this article is to develop a layered civil-liability framework for that problem. It examines the Saudi and Jordanian civil-liability regimes as the principal doctrinal focus, while using selected EU, US, UAE…

AI-Generated Likeness and The Law: Protecting Personality Rights in The Age of Deepfakes and Social Media Exploitation

The proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies—particularly deepfakes—has given rise to complex legal and ethical challenges concerning the unauthorised use of an individual’s likeness. With AI-generated content becoming increasingly indistinguishable from reality, questions surrounding the protection of personality rights have taken centre stage. Celebrities, politicians, and even private individuals are now at risk of having their images, voices, and behaviours manipulated and disseminated with…
