AI chatbots, known for their tendency to cause hallucinations, could also induce hallucinations in humans, researchers claim. Specifically, interactions with chatbots may increase the formation of false memories if the AI model provides incorrect information. Computer scientists from MIT and the University of California, Irvine recently decided to investigate the impact of AI chatbots on human memory, citing an increase in research on AI-human interaction and an increase in scenarios in which humans engage with chatbots. Focusing specifically on the possibility of using AI agents during interviews with witnesses to crimes (which, to our knowledge, is not currently practiced), the…

The students, most of them with grey hair, some with canes, and all at least in their sixties, couldn't believe what they were hearing. “Oh my goodness,” whispered the retired university professor. “Does it have a virus in it?” wondered a confused woman sitting in the second row scribbling notes. A 79-year-old man wearing a black and white floral shirt asked the question on many people's minds: “How do you know if it's fake?” Seniors — many of whom are from a generation that saw the introduction of the refrigerator, the transition from radio to television and the invention of…
There is a strange symmetry in the vice presidential picks of the two presidential candidates. There are some superficial differences: Republican J.D. Vance is 40, Democrat Tim Walz is 60. Vance has a beard; Waltz is bald. The similarities go far beyond military service: Both men were selected as presidential candidates at exciting times: former President Donald Trump after a landslide victory in a debate against President Joe Biden and surviving an assassination attempt, and Vice President Kamala Harris after taking a better-than-expected lead in the polls. Both may reflect that poll leads can disappear and that their leads weren't…

Artificial intelligence is measurably transforming healthcare today. This isn't science fiction or fancy gimmicks. It's not about deepfakes or plagiarized term papers. AI is being used responsibly to prevent medical errors, enhance clinical decision-making, expand access to care, and reduce costs.While there is certainly some hype and misleading claims about AI, it is impossible to ignore the many examples of how AI is making healthcare more efficient, effective, and patient-centric.The roots of AI go back centuries, with the first predictive algorithm devised by German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1795. However, it's only in the last decade that AI and…
In Japan, a strange custom is spreading: people disappearing on their own. This phenomenon is known as “vaporizers.” Vaporizers are people who voluntarily disappear from public life and leave no trace behind. French journalist Rena Mauger has investigated this custom and in her book, she states that nearly 100,000 Japanese people disappear every year. Reports suggest that the number of people seeking rehabilitation is much higher and goes unreported. In Japan, it is unacceptable to talk openly about rehabilitation. While people disappearing is not unique to Japan, the phenomenon is much more prevalent here. Why do people choose to “evaporate”?There…
