Why should a clinician trust an Artificial Intelligence (AI) prediction? Despite the increasing accuracy of machine learning methods in medicine, the lack of transparency continues to hinder their adoption in clinical practice. In this work, we explore Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) for clinical classification tasks on tabular data. In contrast to traditional neural networks, KANs are function-based architectures that offer intrinsic interpretability through transparent, symbolic representations. We introduce \emph{Logistic-KAN}, a flexible generalization of logistic regression, and \emph{Kolmogorov-Arnold Additive Model (KAAM)}, a simplified additive variant that delivers transparent, symbolic formulas. Unlike ``black-box'' models that require post-hoc explainability tools, our models support built-in patient-level insights, intuitive visualizations, and nearest-patient retrieval. Across multiple health datasets, our models match or outperform standard baselines, while remaining fully interpretable. These results position KANs as a promising step toward trustworthy AI that clinicians can understand, audit, and act upon. We release the code for reproducibility in \codeurl.

Billionaire UK businessman Joe Lewis, whose family trust owns Tottenham Hotspur football club, has received a pardon from US President Donald Trump. Lewis, 88, pleaded guilty to insider trading as part of an agreement with prosecutors in 2024 that saw him avoid prison. He was accused of passing on information about his companies to his private pilots, friends, personal assistants and romantic partners in a fraud that authorities said netted millions of dollars in profit. A White House official said Trump approved the pardon for Lewis, who requested it so he could receive medical treatment and visit his grandchildren and great grandchildren in the US. Mr Lewis admitted he made a terrible mistake, did not fight extradition in the case, and paid a $5 million fine, the official told the BBC.

Astronomers illustrated supernova SN 2024ggi in all of its gassy glory. This artist's impression shows a star going supernova. About 22 million light-years away the supernova, SN 2024ggi, exploded in the galaxy NGC 3621. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. According to their study recently published in the journal, their stellar accomplishment thanks to quick thinking and intense geometrical calculations is already providing clues to longstanding questions about some of the universe's most impressive and powerful events .

An independent review of the Sara Sharif case has identified multiple failings from agencies before her murder in Surrey in 2023, following two years of abuse. The child safeguarding practice review, published on Thursday, said there were clearly several points in Sara's life, in particular during the last few months, where different actions could and should have been taken by the authorities. The system failed to keep her safe, it added. Responding to the report, the Children's Commissioner said the case was a catalogue of missed opportunities, poor communication and ill-informed assumptions. The education secretary said there had been the glaring failures across all agencies.

Game Theory: Is the betting industry ruining sport? Betting is now embedded in modern sport. In Türkiye, referees are under investigation for placing thousands of bets. NBA players and coaches are facing major sanctions over gambling violations. But on the flip side, those same players, teams and leagues wear and promote gambling brands.

Imagine an autonomous car driving along a quiet suburban road when suddenly a dog runs onto the road. The system must brake hard and decide, within a fraction of a second, whether to swerve into oncoming traffic--where the other autonomous car might make space--to steer right and hit the roadside barrier, or to continue straight and injure the dog. The first two options risk only material damage; the last harms a living creature. Each choice is justifiable and involves trade-offs between safety, property and ethical concerns. However, today's autonomous systems are not designed to explicitly take such value-laden conflicts into account.

Since September, residents on South Korea's Jeju island have been spotting small packs of what appear to be bags of Chinese tea washed ashore. Upon closer inspection, however, they were found to contain ketamine. Some 28kg (62 lbs) of the drug, wrapped in foil and labelled with the Chinese character for tea, have been found on at least eight occasions, police say. Ketamine is used as an anaesthetic in medical procedures, but its recreational use is illegal in South Korea. It can cause severe physical and mental damage, including to the heart and lungs, when misused.
