FDA Clears First MRI-Derived AI Software for Assessing Breast Cancer Recurrence Risk | Diagnostic Imaging
Assessing breast MRI scans, pathology and clinical data, the AI-powered TumorSight Risk software reportedly provides five- and 10-year risk for breast cancer recurrence for women with HR+, HER2-negative stage I-IIIA breast cancer. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued 510(k) clearance for TumorSight Risk, an AI-enabled software that can provide long-term assessments of breast
Banks face liability over use of AI chatbots, report finds
Adobe Stock Key insight: When banks use AI chatbots to provide customer support on decisions about mortgages and loans, they can risk violating consumer-protection laws. Supporting data: Corporations remain liable when chatbots give wrong answers, create endless doom loops, or fail to solve problems, former regulators argue in a new report. Banks that use AI
AI model decodes the language cells use to communicate
As an embryo develops from a small cluster of stem cells, those once “blank slate” cells begin to take on more specialized roles like brain, liver, or muscle cells, and organize themselves into three-dimensional structures such as tissues and organs. The fate of each cell — what type of specialized cell it will become —
Finding the Hidden Shape of Data: Prof. Yusu Wang
UC San Diego Professor Yusu Wang uses geometry and topology to uncover hidden structures in complex data, helping machine-learning systems capture relationships that conventional approaches can miss. Her group is studying the inner workings of generative artificial intelligence and how neural networks learn and generalize. As director of TILOS, Wang brings AI and optimization together
The AI Agent Boom Has an ROI Problem: Human Rework
WORK-SELF expands Human Context to 12,000+ Enterprise Applications, reducing employee rework by 40%, on Microsoft, Salesforce, ServiceNow, and SAP tech stack. AI agents are becoming faster, cheaper and more capable. International Data Corporation (IDC) projects active AI agents to grow from 28.6 million in 2025 to 2.2 billion by 2030. But faster agents do not
Forecasting Tipping Points with AI
The writer Malcolm Gladwell popularized the term "tipping points" to refer to the moment when a trend or social behavior crosses a threshold and rapidly spreads everywhere. In physics, tipping points occur when systems—say, Earth's climate—reach an unstable point and topple over into a sea of change that is sometimes irreversible. Examples include global warming

The AI race is back on
Last week, Anthropic and OpenAI looked like they had the AI race to themselves, pulling ahead with increasingly powerful models that left their rivals in the dust. Google seemed hopelessly far behind, while Meta, despite spending billions to revive its floundering AI ambitions, had yet to establish itself as a serious contender. Even the latest
