• Can AI Sensors Help Make Senior Living Safer?

  A fall can change an older adult’s life in seconds. Even when help is nearby, a delay in recognizing what happened can increase the risk of injury and complicate recovery. Some senior-living communities are now using ambient sensors and artificial intelligence to help care teams recognize falls, unsafe movements, and signs that a resident may […]

• How AI Is Turning Underwater Video Into 3D Coral Reef Maps

  Coral reefs are living communities, constantly changing in response to warming water, human activity, and local environmental conditions. Protecting them requires more than a single photograph or occasional survey. Scientists need consistent ways to observe the same reefs over time and recognize meaningful change. Researchers have now tested an artificial-intelligence system that can transform underwater […]

• How AI Is Helping Restore Speech and Gesture After Paralysis

  Communication is more than the words we choose. A nod can signal agreement. A wave can create connection. A raised hand or change in posture can add meaning that speech alone does not carry. Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, have now shown that a brain-computer interface can use machine learning to translate […]

• How AI Helped Radiologists Detect More Breast Cancers

  A large real-world study found that radiologists using AI support detected more breast cancers without increasing patient recalls—but the evidence also comes with important limitations.
