An interpretable machine learning model integrating genetic risk scores, corneal biomechanical parameters, and tear molecular biomarkers was developed and validated to predict progression risk in patients with confirmed normal-tension glaucoma, providing a quantitative reference for risk stratification and personalised

On August 24, 2026, a peer-reviewed study reported development and validation of an interpretable machine learning model to predict progression risk in 342 patients with normal-tension glaucoma enrolled at a tertiary hospital. The team integrated corneal biomechanical parameters, genetic risk scores, and tear molecular biomarkers, selecting predictors with LASSO and multivariable logistic regression, and compared random forest, SVM, and logistic regression models using AUC, calibration, and decision curve analysis with SHAP interpretation.

AI applications improved early detection and risk stratification for depression, anxiety, PTSD and suicidal ideation and expanded access through chatbots and mobile platforms for monitoring and self-management.

This umbrella review synthesized 27 systematic reviews with over 14 million participants to examine AI applications in mental health care between 2021 and 2025. It found AI improved early detection and risk stratification for depression, anxiety, stress, PTSD and suicidal ideation, and that chatbots and mobile platforms expanded access and engagement.

Integration into routine care is constrained by limited explainability, data bias, lack of prospective trials, regulatory hurdles, and mixed real-world outcome evidence for decision support tools.

A September 2025 peer-reviewed review in Clinics and Practice synthesized 150 studies of AI in clinical medicine after screening 2047 PubMed records. It found strong diagnostic imaging performance with expert-level cancer detection, promise for CDSS in predicting sepsis and atrial fibrillation, and advances in surgical guidance, pathology diagnosis, and drug discovery via protein structure prediction.

Generative AI enables fraud attacks that erode Zero-Trust Architecture by using synthetic identities and context manipulation to increase false-negative rates, extend dwell time, bypass policies, and evade audit trails.

In a peer-reviewed survey published October 15, 2025, researchers analyzed 10 recent Zero-Trust Architecture surveys and 136 primary studies from 2022-2024 and found most controls lacked real-world validation. They argue generative AI attacks exploit those gaps and propose a seven-stage Cyber Fraud Kill Chain that maps synthetic identities, context manipulation, and adversarial telemetry to NIST SP 800-207 components.

Popular AI chatbots exhibit class-based regularities in how they portray the lifestyle and tastes of fictional personas across different occupations.

In a peer-reviewed study published October 2025, researchers conducted 39 interviews with ChatGPT, Gemini and Replika, prompting each to impersonate people in six occupational groups ranging from highly skilled professionals and humanities professors to blue-collar workers, construction workers, computer scientists and hairdressers. The qualitative analysis identified regularities in how the chatbots described everyday tastes and lifestyles that aligned with class distinctions.
