AI can detect heart disease in women using mammograms, study suggests
The study examined 97,364 breast scans from 29,921 women who had an average age of 54. The study examined 97,364 breast scans from 29,921 women who had an average age of 54. Doctors have discovered a way to use routine mammograms that screen for breast cancer to spot heart disease, the world's leading - and frequently underdiagnosed - cause of death in women. Researchers analysed the scans using artificial intelligence and were able to successfully identify women with coronary heart disease, high blood pressure or who had suffered a stroke. Experts said it meant breast screening for cancer could become dual-purpose, helping to flag women with heart disease, and other cardiovascular issues, as well as spotting breast cancer early.
AI-proof? Younger workers desert the digital world for traditional crafts
For decades, a university degree seemed to promise a stable career - but entry-level white-collar jobs across almost all sectors are being disrupted by AI . Budding accountants, software engineers and junior lawyers increasingly find themselves displaced by cheap automation. Even creative fields are struggling against AI tech that can produce artwork, lengthy prose or complex design briefs in seconds. But many young workers have responded by turning to what they see as "AI-proof" heritage crafts. These are the centuries-old, hands-on jobs, such as boat-making, metalwork or bookbinding, that require specialist knowledge built on creative judgment and dexterity, skills not yet mastered by AI. Eryn Lawley, a 27-year-old politics graduate, said future-proofing her career meant walking away from the digital world.

Philip Colligan's greatest fear is that parents and educators will treat the AI revolution the way they treated the advent of the Internet--which is to say, they won't engage in teaching children how to responsibly use it until it's too late. "We are in the middle of those systems being introduced into healthcare, finance, criminal justice decisions, education decisions," the CEO of the Cambridge, U.K-based tech-literacy educational nonprofit Raspberry Pi Foundation says.

Stop Touching Your Keyboard. Use This AI-Powered Microphone Instead
The Relay Q, due next year, is the latest attempt to reposition voice as the most seamless method for human-computer interaction. How much do you hate typing? The advent of large language models has rapidly advanced voice-to-text technology. Whether it's Wispr Flow joining your meetings to summarize discussions or Google debuting smarter on-device dictation in its latest Pixel smartphone, these tools do far more than transcribe: They intelligently strip filler words, clean up unscripted thoughts on the fly, and seamlessly mediate multilingual conversations. Now, a new startup is entering the fray.
The UK Power Grid Has a Phantom Data Center Problem
The UK's energy regulator is using a variety of tricks to keep speculative data center projects from plugging into the power grid. The country's AI ambitions hang in the balance. As data center developers compete for a cut of the hundreds of billions of dollars flowing into the artificial intelligence industry, the queue to join the UK's power grid has become jammed with projects that will likely never get built. The snarl is exacerbating already years-long wait times for viable projects, and it's messing with attempts to forecast energy demand and plan grid expansions. In July, the UK's energy regulator, Ofgem, laid out a proposal meant to force phantom data centers out of the swollen queue.
