New AI system could accelerate clinical research

New AI system could accelerate clinical research

MIT researchers have developed an AI-based system called MultiverSeg that streamlines the process of segmenting biomedical imaging datasets, allowing users to rapidly and accurately mark regions of interest with minimal input. Unlike previous models, MultiverSeg can improve its predictions based on user interactions and does not require retraining for new tasks, significantly accelerating medical research and clinical applications.

Generative AI’s Ethical and Societal Impacts in Higher Computing Education: a Systematic Review

Generative AI’s Ethical and Societal Impacts in Higher Computing Education: a Systematic Review

Generative AI poses significant ethical and societal challenges in education, particularly concerning equity, academic integrity, and bias, prompting researchers like Janice Mak, Joyce Nakatumba-Nabende, and Tony Clear to develop the Ethical and Societal Impacts-Framework. This framework, based on a comprehensive analysis of existing research and university policies, serves as a practical tool for educators, computing professionals, and policymakers to guide the responsible integration of generative AI in higher computing education.
