  • AI-Powered System Can Detect Cognitive Impairment

    The early detection of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) could be key to combating Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Recognizing this, researchers at the University of Missouri have developed an innovative, portable system designed to make early diagnosis more accessible and accurate. The team’s breakthrough combines a depth camera, a force plate and an interface board to…

  • Using AI for Individualized Math Support to Students

    A new AI-based learning system developed by researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the University of Cologne is set to revolutionize math education by providing individualized support to schoolchildren. The innovative system, described in a study published in the journal Educational Studies in Mathematics, identifies students’ strengths and weaknesses in mathematics through…

  • AI Model Predicts Enjoyment and Fluidity of Zoom Calls

    Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, videoconference platforms like Zoom and MS Teams have become integral parts of our work and social lives. Despite their advantages, these platforms often suffer from moments that feel awkward or unproductive. Now, a team of scientists from New York University is offering a high-tech solution to make virtual meetings more…

  • New AI Technique Overcomes Spurious Correlations Without Prior Knowledge

    Researchers at North Carolina State University have unveiled a new technique to address one of the most persistent problems in artificial intelligence (AI) model training — spurious correlations. These correlations often cause AI systems to make decisions based on irrelevant or misleading information, hampering the accuracy and reliability of these models. “This technique is novel…

  • AI Model to Improve ICU Bed Management

    At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitals across the United States struggled to keep up with the demand for intensive care unit (ICU) beds as patient numbers surged. But even before the pandemic, ICUs faced persistent challenges in maintaining available beds for gravely ill patients. Artificial intelligence (AI) holds promise in addressing these challenges…

  • New Study Debunks AI’s Role in Plagiarism Among University Students

    A new study by researchers at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), recently published in the international journal Interactive Learning Environments, has revealed that the use of AI tools such as ChatGPT does not directly lead to plagiarism among university students. Instead, factors such as student motivation and the surrounding academic culture are much…

  • New AI Model Measures the Speed of Brain Aging

    An artificial intelligence model developed by researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) has made significant strides in measuring the speed at which the brain ages. This new tool offers hope for enhanced understanding, prevention and treatment of cognitive decline and dementia. “This is a novel measurement that could change the way we track…

  • AI Model Generates Human-Like Games

    In a groundbreaking development, researchers from New York University have designed a computer model capable of generating human-like goals by learning from the way people create games. This innovation, published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence, holds the promise of advancing AI systems to better understand and replicate human intentions. The study provides a new…

  • New AI Tool Read Chest X-Rays Like a Radiologist

    Researchers at the University of Arkansas have unveiled a transformative AI tool capable of interpreting chest X-rays by mimicking the gaze patterns of radiologists, marking a significant milestone in medical diagnostics. Developed by Ngan Le, an assistant professor of computer science and computer engineering at U of A, and her team, the AI framework, called…

  • AI to Predict Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder

    Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are debilitating mental health conditions that often emerge in early adulthood. While effective treatment options exist, they heavily rely on prompt and accurate diagnosis — a challenge that has perplexed the medical community for years. Now, research from Aarhus University and Aarhus University Hospital – Psychiatry, published in the journal JAMA…
