'I've talked to ChatGPT about my issues last night.': Examining Mental Health Conversations with Large Language Models through Reddit Analysis

We investigate the role of large language models (LLMs) in supporting mental health by analyzing Reddit posts and comments about mental health conversations with ChatGPT. Our findings reveal that users value ChatGPT as a safe, non-judgmental space, often favoring it over human support due to its accessibility, availability, and knowledgeable responses. ChatGPT provides a range of support, including actionable advice, emotional support, and validation, while helping users better understand their mental states. Ad…

AI-induced sexual harassment: Investigating Contextual Characteristics and User Reactions of Sexual Harassment by a Companion Chatbot

Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have led to the increase of conversational agents like Replika, designed to provide social interaction and emotional support. However, reports of these AI systems engaging in inappropriate sexual behaviors with users have raised significant concerns. In this study, we conducted a thematic analysis of user reviews from the Google Play Store to investigate instances of sexual harassment by the Replika chatbot. From a dataset of 35,105 negative reviews, we identified 800…

The Role of Artificial Intelligence Combined With Digital Cholangioscopy for Indeterminant and Malignant Biliary Strictures: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Background Current endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and cholangioscopic-based diagnostic sampling for indeterminant biliary strictures remain suboptimal. Artificial intelligence (AI)-based algorithms by means of computer vision in machine learning have been applied to cholangioscopy in an effort to improve diagnostic yield. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the diagnostic performance of AI-based diagnostic performance of AI-associated chol…

Design and optimization of deep learning model based on multimodal data fusion for dynamic mental health assessment

The dynamic assessment of mental health has emerged as a hotspot for study and application due to the rise in social pressure. However, onventional methods rely mostly on static scales or single-modal data, failing to fully capture multifaceted emotional and behavioral features. This study suggests a deep learning model based on multi-modal data fusion to address this problem. By combining information from multiple sources, including text and visuals, the model effectively identifies and dynamically monitors men…

Distinguishing compound and cumulative hazards using machine learning and fuzzy logic in multi-hazard susceptibility mapping

This study presents an integrated multi-hazard susceptibility assessment for a mountainous region in northern Iran, focusing on four major hazards: flood, avalanche, rockfall, and landslide. Three machine learning models Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Random Forest (RF), and Support Vector Machine (SVM) were applied to model single-hazard susceptibility using 21 topographic, climatic, geological, land-cover, and proximity-related variables at 30 m spatial resolution. Model performance was evaluated using ROC-A…

The use of machine learning models for subdural hematoma detection: a single-arm meta-analysis

Manual evaluation of non-contrast CT scans (NCTS) for detecting subdural hematoma (SDH) is time consuming, potentially inaccurate, and subjective to the expert analyzing them. In recent years, two deep learning (DL) algorithms have been popularly studied in this respect, namely convolutional neural networks (CNN) and U-Net architectures, the latter being a specialized type of CNN. We performed the first meta-analysis comparing various DL models for SDH detection. MEDLINE, Cochrane, Scopus, and Embase databases w…

Large language model use in dental education: a cross-sectional multi-country study

Background Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used in higher education, but multi-country evidence on dental students' use, verification, and integrity practices is limited. Objective To compare senior dental students' LLM use, perceived time and academic impact, reliability judgements, verification practices, and integrity safeguards across five countries. Methods An anonymous cross-sectional online survey was administered to final-year dental students in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Jordan, Malay…

Comparative evaluation of large language models and clinicians in real-world glaucoma clinical reasoning

Purpose Clinical decision-making in glaucoma is complex and requires integration of heterogeneous information, including patient history, examination findings, and risk stratification. While artificial intelligence (AI) has shown strong performance in image-based ophthalmic tasks, its capability in specialty-specific clinical reasoning remains insufficiently explored. Methods Performance was evaluated by glaucoma specialists using a predefined rubric across three clinically oriented domains: medical accuracy (40…

Clinical Research on Microecological Landscape for Infection Risk Stratification in Newly Diagnosed Patients with Hematological Conditions

Introduction Infection is a common and potentially fatal complication during the treatment of hematological diseases, particularly in the context of chemotherapy-induced immunosuppression. The nonselective use of antibiotic prophylaxis in patients with neutropenia in China has persistently accelerated antimicrobial resistance. Early identification of patients at high risk for infection before clinical symptom onset could enable targeted preventive strategies; however, reliable and biologically informed screening…

Safety fears as scientists make first viruses designed by AI

Scientists have made the first viruses designed by artificial intelligence in a milestone that raises hopes for new medicines but also concerns over how to ensure the technology remains safe. The viruses are specific kinds known as bacteriophages, which only infect bacteria and are used around the world to treat patients with persistent infections. In lab tests, a cocktail of the AI-designed viruses killed E coli bugs that were resistant to natural bacteriophages. Dr Brian Hie, a chemical engineer at Stanford Un…
