[ad_1] Heart disease is the nation's No. 1 killer, reaching into all communities across income, race, gender and geography. It takes a disproportionate toll on minority populations and women, but one challenge that many patients at risk of a heart attack share: inability to identify the risk before it is too late. More than half of individuals experiencing acute myocardial infarction have no symptoms that might serve as early warning signs. Cardiologist James Min, former professor at Weill Cornell Medical College and director of the Dalio Institute of Cardiovascular Imaging at New York-Presbyterian, founded Cleerly to find a better way to assess heart health, by applying AI to the problem, cutting down on the time it takes to flag issues and ultimately reach his goal of a "heart-attack free" world.

[ad_1] According to a study released by the American Psychological Association, employees who often engage with artificial intelligence systems are more likely to suffer loneliness, which can contribute to sleeplessness and increased after-work drinking. Researchers conducted four experiments in the U.S., Taiwan, Indonesia and Malaysia. Findings were consistent across cultures. The research was published online in the Journal of Applied Psychology. In a prior career, lead researcher Pok Man Tang, PhD, worked in an investment bank where he used AI systems, which led to his interest in researching the timely issue.

"Humans are social animals, and isolating ...

[ad_1] The Recording Academy are making several changes to the Grammy Awards, including a rule that stipulates "only human creators" can win the music industry's highest honor in a decision aimed at the use of artificial intelligence in popular music.

The rule was set following the semiannual academy's board of trustees meeting last month, where it was determined that work that features elements of AI are eligible, as long as a human creator is responsible for a "meaningful" contribution to the music and/or lyrics. "The human authorship component of the work submitted must be meaningful," the new requirements read in part. The news arrives shortly after Paul McCartney announced on Tuesday that a forthcoming "last Beatles...

[ad_1] Microsoft has pulled a computer-generated travel article on Ottawa, Canada, that included an eyebrow-raising recommendation. Along with popular tourist spots like Parliament Hill, the piece endorsed visiting the Ottawa Food Bank.  The now-deleted article , published this week on Microsoft's MSN website, is the latest in a long list of flubs from various news sites online that employ technology using algorithms and AI for creating content.
