Generative AI can promote Industry 5.0 sustainability objectives in manufacturing through ten functions that provide data-driven production insights and enhance operational resilience.

In a peer-reviewed study published 2024-05-26, researchers examined generative AI in manufacturing to actualize Industry 5.0 sustainability goals. Using case studies, interviews and interpretive structural modeling, they developed a strategic roadmap identifying ten distinct functions through which generative AI can support responsible manufacturing, from data-driven production insights to resilience of operations.

Gen X and Gen Y teachers reported heightened concerns that student use of generative AI in higher education could lead to overreliance and create ethical and pedagogical problems without proper guidelines and policies.

A November 2023 peer-reviewed study surveyed Generation Z students and Generation X and Generation Y teachers about generative AI in higher education. Gen Z respondents were generally optimistic about benefits such as productivity and personalized learning and said they intended to use the tools for educational purposes, while Gen X and Gen Y teachers acknowledged benefits but reported stronger concerns about overreliance and ethical and pedagogical implications.

The Challenges of Predicting Rare Outcomes: A Critical Appraisal of Machine Learning Using the Pediatric Resuscitation and Trauma Outcome (PRESTO) Model in a Tanzanian Injury Registry: These findings highlight the challenge of predicting a rare outcome, and emphasize the need to increase pediatric registry sample sizes to develop more accurate models for mortality risk stratification in LMICs.

Background Injuries are responsible for 950,000 deaths per year among children and adolescents under 18 years old. Trauma prediction scores are useful in determining severity and prognosis of injury patients.

When they are addressed using artificial intelligence methods, though, average performance alone does not show whether a dataset is artificial intelligence ready, whether the endpoint is clinically valid, or whether errors are unevenly distributed across patient subgroups.

Many problems in biomedicine can be posed as binary classification. When they are addressed using artificial intelligence methods, though, average performance alone does not show whether a dataset is artificial intelligence ready, whether the endpoint is clinically valid, or whether errors are unevenly distributed across patient subgroups.
