A transformer-based deep learning framework using clinically indicated non-contrast chest CT stratified risk of refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in children with AUCs around 0.89-0.90 on internal and external test cohorts.

A multicenter retrospective study developed a transformer-based deep learning framework to stratify risk of refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in children using non-contrast chest CTs obtained for clinical indications. The model was trained on 506 cases and tested internally on 139 and externally on 331 and 108 cases.

Researchers developed a future-ready HRM competency framework identifying four themes, increasing awareness of skills HR professionals need as technology evolves.

Published March 23, 2026, this peer-reviewed integrative review examined how automation, artificial intelligence and disruptive technologies are changing human resource management. Using thematic analysis of secondary data, the authors identified four competency themes and proposed a framework intended to make HRM professionals aware of skills needed to be future-ready.

Cloud-edge synergy architecture for AI music generation empowers educational use by enabling resource democratization, personalized learning, and pedagogical innovation in latency-sensitive settings.

This peer-reviewed paper from March 2026 systematically explores AI music generation within a cloud-edge synergy architecture, where cloud resources handle training and high-fidelity generation and edge devices handle low-latency interaction. It reviews model evolution from RNNs/LSTMs and GANs to Transformers and Diffusion Models and analyzes four collaboration models for real-time, multimodal music applications.

Among 496 Arabian users, intention to use GenAI for media content creation was most strongly driven by hedonic motivation alongside performance expectancy and other UTAUT2 factors, and actual use was positively driven by facilitating conditions, habit, trust and intention.

A November 2024 peer-reviewed study investigated why Arabian users adopt generative AI for media content creation, using UTAUT2 to survey 496 users and test links to behavioural intention and user behaviour with PLS-SEM.

The same caring Optimization System flattens culture, tamps down places and people, and carefully manages humanity's decline into obsolescence.

The Guardian review of D-topia on 2026-07-14 describes a far-future non-Earth planet run by an Optimization System that appears as cute droids and controls architecture and weather to maximize happiness. The player is a Facilitator performing low-friction grid maths puzzles and helping residents like Tot, who has a brain chip, and Eebie, who wants expressive fashion.

AI used in the uncrewed systems can hallucinate and generate false results, creating risk of technical failure during autonomous operations.

In July 2026 the Royal Netherlands Navy began a five-week trial off Den Helder to test uncrewed surface vessels, aerial drones and underwater mine mappers operating as a coordinated system controlled by software, with the GeoSea vessel as a test base. The effort is part of a plan to have more than half of naval work done by uncrewed systems within five years and to eventually surround crewed ships with autonomous rings.

Creating an AI version of a real exiled Uyghur man to speak for him is presented as patronising, and the film omits how an actor's face was obtained and transformed into an AI figure.

On 14 July 2026 The Guardian reviewed Marc Isaacs' docudrama hybrid Synthetic Sincerity, in which Isaacs pretends to license characters from his earlier documentaries to a fictional AI lab at the fictional University of Southern England to train software to create AI human figures, including an AI avatar modelled on actor Ilinca Manolache and an AI version of London restaurateur Ablikim Rahman.

AI-enhanced listings misrepresent size, condition and layout, leading buyers to waste time viewing homes that do not match the photos.

On 8 July 2026 The Guardian reported on 'housefishing', the growing use of AI to enhance estate agent listings with fake dusk skies, added furniture and cleaned-up rooms. Examples included a south London Winkworth listing flagged on Reddit for removing a chimney breast in images, and a Maidenhead house listed at £635,000 where AI-added bedroom furniture could not physically fit.
