AI-supported mammography more effective than standard, says new study

Use of artificial intelligence in Sweden`s national breast cancer screening programme has revealed that AI-supported mammography screening is more effective than standard mammography, according to full results from a 2023 trial published in The Lancet journal. AI-supported breast cancer screening identified more women with clinically relevant cancers without a higher rate of false positives, the results show. Researchers from Lund University and other institutes in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands, also found that women who underwent AI-supported screening were less likely to be diagnosed with more aggressive and advanced breast cancer in the following two years. In August 2023, interim results from the Mammography Screening with Artificial Intelligence (MASAI) showed that us...

The plant-powered brain: Health experts share a comprehensive guide

For decades, the conversation around brain health has been dominated by a single image: a piece of salmon or a bottle of fish oil.

Experts argue that the brain can thrive on plant-based sources—if you know the kitchen chemistry required to unlock them. This Veganuary, we look at strategically using walnuts, chia seeds, and flaxseeds to help you feed your brain effectively while adhering to a plant-based lifestyle.

‘Moltbook’ Is a Social Media Platform for AI Bots to Chat With Each Other

The headlining story in AI news this week was OpenClaw (formerly Moltbot, which was formerly Clawbot), a personal AI assistant that performs tasks on your behalf. The catch? You need to give it total control of your computer, which poses some serious privacy and security risks. Still, many AI enthusiasts are installing OpenClaw on their Mac minis (the device of choice), choosing to ignore the security implications in favor of testing this viral AI agent. While OpenClaw's developer designed the tool to assist humans, it seems the bots now want somewhere to go in their spare time. Enter "Moltbook," a social media platform for AI agents to communicate with one another. I'm serious: This is a forum-style website where AI bots make posts and discuss those posts in the comments.

Mumbai hospital launches AI-based hub-and-spoke stroke model across city

With stroke cases rising rapidly across India and delays in diagnosis often costing patients their lives or mobility, a Mumbai hospital has taken a unique step to bridge this critical gap.

How YouTube Is Fighting Back Against AI Slop

Science fiction and science leaders alike have warned us that artificial intelligence may one day take over the world, but until those predictions come to pass, generative AI's biggest impact on my life has been overloading my social media feeds with slop. It seems I can't open TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube without running smack into bizarre and troubling AI concoctions featuring babies in danger and cats having affairs. It really is the wild west (or maybe Westworld) out there. I think few among us really believe these videos are any good, and it's pretty obvious they aren't good for us, or for the world. Short-form video is already numbing enough, but this AI content is generally completely devoid of any meaning or substance. And yet, it's everywhere. I haven't spent too much time on You...

Citing data from the 2019-21 National Family Health Survey (NFHS), the Survey said that 24 per cent of Indian women and 23 per cent of Indian men are overweight or obese. Among...
