Insect pests quietly destroy an estimated 20 to 40 percent of global crop production every year, a toll that ripples through farmer incomes, national economies and the food supply that billions of people depend on. Traditional defenses against this damage have barely changed in decades: human scouts walking fields, eyeballing leaves, and making subjective calls

AI expert Andrej Karpathy has proposed a "four-tier awareness funnel" model revealing a profound global divide in understanding AI capabilities: roughly 6 billion people have never interacted with a large language model, 1–2 billion have only used free chatbot versions, about 20 million technical professionals are experiencing "agent vertigo," and only around 5,000 people have

Artificial intelligence has just taken a significant step forward in one of medicine’s most consequential judgment calls: deciding whether a suspicious breast lesion is cancerous or benign. In a prospective multicenter study published in Holistic Integrative Oncology, researchers developed a deep learning system called TGMIL — a temporal-guided, multi-scale, multi-instance learning network — that analyzes

A Tallinn University doctoral project connects webcam-based expression analysis with facial responses from a human-like AI agent. Tracking individual facial movements gave the system finer, more stable control than broad emotion labels. Experiments exposed disagreements between analysis tools and demographic bias, limiting claims about reliably interpreting emotions. A digital face can look convincing until its
