Among Chinese fashion-design practitioners, satisfaction of basic psychological needs, especially competence, increased behavioral intention to adopt AIGC tools.

Researchers examined why fashion designers adopt Artificial Intelligence Generated Content, which is described as increasingly used in creative design. Using the Stimulus-Organism-Response framework combined with Self-Determination Theory, they surveyed 318 Chinese fashion-design practitioners and analyzed 21 items with PLS-SEM to link perceived risk, social influence and facilitating conditions to autonomy, competence, relatedness and behavioral intention.

CT-based prediction, including AI approaches, provides essential information for early hematoma expansion risk stratification to support individualized management after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.

This peer-reviewed review in GeroScience appraises CT-based prediction of hematoma expansion after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, a major determinant of early deterioration. It compares contrast-enhanced signs like spot, leakage and iodine signs with non-contrast signs including blend, black hole, island, satellite, hypodensity and swirl signs, plus shape and heterogeneity, and evaluates composite scores and AI approaches including radiomics, machine learning and deep learning.

Nursing academics selectively use AI to improve academic productivity and research writing efficiency.

A scoping review published August 15, 2026 examined how nursing academics perceive and use AI in nursing education, synthesizing 15 studies from eight countries with 2004 academics. It found most believe AI will revolutionise education but actual use is selective and conservative, concentrated at the augmentation level for productivity and research writing rather than assessment or transformative pedagogy.

Ecuadorian participants perceived that generative AI was used to disseminate disinformation during the 2025 presidential campaign, that it influenced the election outcome, and that it failed to increase trust in candidates or electoral legitimacy.

Between November 2024 and July 2025, researchers studied Ecuadorian perceptions of generative AI in the 2025 presidential election using surveys, expert interviews and sentiment analysis. They found participants believed AI-generated disinformation affected the result, did not improve trust in candidates or the electoral process, and produced widespread concern, mistrust and fear.
