Tech Xplore / Humans are bad at making complex decisions. AI can call them out
When a list of pros and cons won't cut it, a new decision-making tool developed by Cornell researchers can use artificial intelligence to help make difficult decisions. But there's a twist: Instead of checking AI's result, ...
Tech Xplore / A single real-world data point may stop AI model collapse, analysis suggests
New work explaining the inner workings of artificial intelligence could provide a way around the threat of AI "model collapse," potentially averting growing numbers of AI hallucinations in the future.
Medical Xpress / Antidepressant use in pregnancy shows no clear autism or ADHD link
Current evidence does not support a causal link between the use of almost all antidepressants during pregnancy and an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder ...
Medical Xpress / Prior C-sections more often led to vaginal birth at Black-serving hospitals, data show
Low-risk patients at predominantly Black-serving hospitals (BSH) who previously gave birth through Cesareans are likelier to attempt and successfully deliver vaginally in a subsequent pregnancy than they are at hospitals ...
Phys.org / A new model for predicting plant resistance can help prepare for climate change
A recent Minnesota Pollution Control Agency report found that climate change could cost Minnesotans more than $20 billion a year by 2040. This is just the local cost of a global problem. Ecosystem stability is essential to ...
Phys.org / New scenarios needed to address climate crisis, say scientists
Scientists, including those working with the Earth Commission, are calling for a fundamental rethink of how the world imagines its future, arguing that today's dominant climate and biodiversity models are too narrow to deal ...
Medical Xpress / People with premenstrual dysphoric disorder have higher rates of suicidal thinking, planning and attempts
People with premenstrual dysphoric disorder—a more serious form of premenstrual syndrome, commonly known as PMS—are more likely to experience suicidal thoughts and behaviors than people without it.
Tech Xplore / Blind ambition: AI agents can turn tasks into digital disasters
Computer scientists at UC Riverside have identified troubling flaws in a new generation of artificial intelligence (AI) agents designed to take over routine computer chores while users are away—sorting emails, organizing ...
