The PROLIFERATE_AI Framework as a structured evaluation process. Credit: International Journal of Medical Informatics (2025). DOI: 10.1016/j.ijmedinf.2025.105810 Using a pioneering artificial intelligence platform, Flinders University researchers have assessed whether a cardiac AI tool recently trialed in South Australian hospitals actually has the potential to assist doctors and nurses to rapidly diagnose heart issues in emergency departments. “AI is becoming more common in health care, but it doesn’t always fit in smoothly with the vital work of our doctors and nurses,” says Flinders University’s Dr. Maria Alejandra Pinero de Plaza, who led the research. “We need to confirm these systems are…
A new inquiry by the Treasury Committee is to consider the potential impacts of the increased use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the financial services sector.The Committee now has a call for evidence open and is aiming to understand how financial services can utilise AI while protecting consumers against potential risks.Figures recently published from the Bank of England showed that 75% of firms are already using AI, with a further 10% planning to use it over the next three years. The Committee suggested, however, that the launch of Chinese company DeepSeek had reminded observers of the volatility and rapidly evolving…
By Akash Sriram (Reuters) – Lyft said on Thursday it has tied up with Amazon and Alphabet-backed startup Anthropic to roll out artificial intelligence tools for the ride-hailing platform’s customer care operations. The company said it has been using Anthropic’s Claude AI model, through Amazon’s Bedrock generative AI platform, which has helped reduce the average customer service resolution time by 87% and is resolving thousands of customer requests each day. While the use of advanced AI in customer service operations has fueled worries over job loss in the industry, Lyft said there would continue to be a need for human…
Nearly half the traffic on the internet is generated by automated entities called bots, and a large portion of them pose threats to consumers and businesses on the web. “[B]ots can help in creating phishing scams by gaining user’s trust and exploiting it for scammers. These scams can have serious implications for the victim, some of which include financial loss, identity theft, and the spread of malware,” Christoph C. Cemper, founder of AIPRM, an AI prompt engineering and management company, in Wilmington, Del., said in a statement provided to TechNewsWorld. “Unfortunately, this is not the only security threat posed by…

I have worked with many clients over the years, advising them on navigating digital transformations, but a recent experience with generative AI showed me just how powerful this technology can be. This isn’t some distant future — it’s happening right now, and for enterprise leaders, it can be a game-changer. Customer use case Case in point: my team faced a significant challenge while building a cloud-based architecture for a major client. We developed the solution to meet all of the technical…
This sheer scale, combined with greater sophistication and convincingness, means finding ways to detect and mitigate AI-generated deepfakes quickly is an increasingly urgent priority. Concerns over criminal manipulation of digital text, images and video are not new, but the proliferation in recent months of generative AI tools that enable anyone, anywhere, to quickly, easily, and cheaply create deepfake images has significantly changed the game. In its role as an innovative enabler connecting frontline government and law enforcement with cutting-edge technology from industry, the Accelerated Capability Environment (ACE) is at the heart of this ramp-up in activity designed to find practical…
Picture this: you’re out of groceries, so you fire up your go-to shopping app. You scroll through endless categories, manually filtering search results to find what you need. Then comes the tedious price-checking, hopping between sites to ensure you’re getting the best deal. Maybe you hold off on buying, saving the item to a wishlist or a sticky note on your phone. Eventually, when you do pull the trigger, you enter payment details, confirm delivery preferences, and wait. That’s how shopping works today—still very much a hands-on process, still requiring human effort at every step. But what if all of…
