The Perspective through collaboration between NUS CDE, University of Michigan, and the University of Washington proposes a step-by-step approach for turning patterns found by AI into hypotheses that scientists can test and, if validated, apply in research and engineering.
Scientists at Peking University have identified a mitochondrial protein that is essential for protecting motor neurons, offering new insight into how amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) may develop. The study, led by Dr. Xianhua Wang and Dr. Heping Cheng at the College of Future Technology, Peking University, shows that loss of the mitochondrial protein ROMO1 causes progressive damage to motor neurons and muscles in mice, closely resembling key features of human ALS. The findings were published online in Science Bulletin.
SUTD researchers have found that older adults are most open to embracing social chatbots that feel authentic and socially engaging but not too human, offering clear lessons for designers of AI companions.
Living organisms constantly adjust their behavior according to what is happening inside their bodies. Hunger can shift attention toward food, while cold can make finding warmth more urgent. These internal signals remain meaningful even when the surrounding environment changes completely.
Artificial intelligence generally works differently. Most AI agents pursue objectives defined from the outside, and adapting those objectives or behaviors to changing conditions remains a major challenge.
A research team led by Associate Director WOO Choong-Wan of the Center for Neuroscience Imaging Research within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) and Sungkyunkwan University, Professor HONG Seok Jun of Sungkyunkwan University, and Professor Karl J. FRISTON of University College London has proposed a new framework inspired by the way living organisms monitor and regulate their internal condition.Osaka Metropolitan University researchers conducted a scoping review to identify radiology studies validating commercially available medical AI products and to note reporting trends for sex, age, and ethnic demographic subgroups.
