Trust in the use of artificial intelligence technology for treatment planning

As AI becomes more integrated into healthcare, public trust in AI-developed treatment plans remains a concern, especially for emotionally charged health decisions. In a study of 81 community college students, AI-created treatment plans received lower trust ratings compared to physician-developed plans, supporting the hypothesis. The study found no significant differences in AI trust levels across demographic factors, suggesting overall skepticism toward AI-driven healthcare.

This study investigated perceptions of the emerging workforce toward the use of artificial intelligence in hiring, specifically for assessing subjective "culture fit." Through a mixed-methods survey of 150 high school and early-college students in Nepal, we found a significant disconnect between organizational adoption of AI and the profound skepticism of young job candidates, who express deep concerns about fairness, transparency, and the potential for AI to perpetuate systemic discrimination.

Advancing pediatric cancer predictions through generative artificial intelligence and machine learning

Pediatric cancers pose unique challenges due to their rarity and distinct biological factors, emphasizing the need for accurate survival prediction to guide treatment. This study integrated generative AI and machine learning, including synthetic data, to analyze 9,184 pediatric cancer patients, identifying age at diagnosis, cancer types, and anatomical sites as significant survival predictors. The findings highlight the potential of AI-driven approaches to improve survival prediction and inform personalized treatment strategies, with broader implications for innovative healthcare applications.

Groundwater prediction using artificial intelligence: Case study for Texas aquifers

Here, in an effort to develop a model to predict future groundwater levels, the authors tested a tree-based automated artificial intelligence (AI) model against other methods. Through their analysis they found that groundwater levels in Texas aquifers are down significantly, and found that tree-based AI models most accurately predicted future levels.

Optimizing AI image detection using a Convolutional Neural Network model with Fast Fourier Transform

Gupta et al. | Oct 24, 2025

Optimizing AI image detection using a Convolutional Neural Network model with Fast Fourier Transform

Recent advances in generative AI have made it increasingly hard to distinguish real images from AI-generated ones. Traditional detection models using CNNs or U-net architectures lack precision because they overlook key spatial and frequency domain details. This study introduced a hybrid model combining Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) with Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to better capture subtle edge and texture patterns.

It's better than me: Investigating the psychological risks of AI on self-esteem

Kim et al. | Sep 07, 2026

It's better than me: Investigating the psychological risks of AI on self-esteem

Here the authors investigated whether frequent use of generative AI tools triggers upward social comparison and negatively impacts users' performance self-esteem. Based on a survey of 121 adults, they found no significant relationship between AI usage and self-esteem, concluding that current chatbot interactions do not pose the same psychological threat as peer-based comparisons.
