Generative AI can help fight misinformation but can also worsen it by creating convincing, hard‑to‑detect manipulations that spread quickly. A new study identifies seven roles AI can play in the information environment and examines their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and risks.
AI can be used to detect cervical cancer in women in resource-limited parts of the world. However, for this method to work, investments are needed in healthcare staff, reliable supply chains and trust in these communities.
Men assessed as healthy after a pathologist analyses their tissue sample may still have an early form of prostate cancer. Using AI, researchers at Uppsala University have been able to find subtle tissue changes that allow the cancer to be detected long before it becomes visible to the human eye.
Batteries in electric vehicles wear out too quickly and this is slowing down the electrification of the transport sector. Researchers at Uppsala University have now developed an AI model that can provide a much more accurate picture of battery ageing. The model could lead to longer life and enhanced safety for electric vehicle batteries.
