In a series of interviews, we're meeting some of the PhD students that were selected to take part in the Doctoral Consortium at the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence and the 29th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJACI-ECAI 2026) . This time, we hear from Mayra Elwes about her work developing machine learning methods for clinical time-series data. Tell us a bit about your PhD - where are you studying, and what is the topic of your research? I am a second-year computer science PhD student at the Institute for Biomedical Informatics at the University Hospital Cologne. My research focuses on the generalisation and domain adaptation of machine learning for clinical time-series forecasting, especially for clinic-to-clinic generalization scenarios.

This week, the NFL continues its Crucial Catch initiative, an annual partnership with the American Cancer Society focused on fighting cancer through early detection, risk reduction and screening awareness. For former Super Bowl-winning head coach Bruce Arians, it's the perfect time to share his prostate cancer survival story, and more importantly, stress how simple it is to get screened today.

Artificial intelligence infrastructure is under attack by foreign adversaries running psyop campaigns against data centers, a top Department of War official claims.

The author of says his book "was written by a very tired, overworked, under-slept human being." For most people, the AI Era we're now living in started sometime around the end of 2022, when OpenAI released the first consumer version of ChatGPT to much fanfare--and, ultimately, over 100 million downloads within a few short months. In reality, as WIRED readers know, the story of artificial intelligence stretches back decades. And the work informing today's generative AI products, from chatbots to agents and beyond, has been more than a decade--of blood, sweat, tears, and furious rivalries--in the making. It's that recent history, told through the interweaving stories of three generative AI leaders-- OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google --that's chronicled in Kevin Roose's compelling new book, . Roose, a longtime tech journalist who most recently served as a columnist and podcast host for The New York Times, conducted more than 150 interviews with AI insiders to compile what he hopes becomes something of a historical document, an accurate, in-depth retelling of the people and the institutions, the bloodbath and the drama, that brought Silicon Valley to where it is to today. I spoke to Roose in late September, a few days after he and Casey Newton--with whom Roose previously cohosted the New York Times' podcast--announced the creation of their new media company Machine Gods Media, alongside a podcast distribution deal with NPR. We talked about what Roose and Newton hope to accomplish with the new show, why traditional media companies have a talent problem, and, of course, all things artificial intelligence. KATIE DRUMMOND: You and Casey Newton recently announced that you were launching a new media company, called Machine Gods Media. And your podcast is also called, correct? Yeah, a name so nice we used it twice. When you first announced that you'd be leaving The New York Times, you described your vision for what you wanted to do as one that, quote, "takes AI progress seriously, is clear-eyed about the capabilities and risks of powerful AI systems, and tries to empower and entertain people in the face of radical uncertainty." As you look at the landscape of tech coverage and AI coverage, what's missing from the reporting and commentary that you and Casey want to address with the new show?

Bestselling author and former politician Jeffrey Archer has died at the age of 86. Archer sold more than 300 million books in his five-decade writing career, including the Clifton Chronicles and Kane and Abel, and often set the novels in his home town of Wellington, Somerset. In a statement, Archer's publisher HarperCollins said the author died suddenly and peacefully at home on Monday between writing sessions. The former Conservative MP was jailed for perjury in 2001 after being found guilty of lying and cheating in his 1987 libel case against the Daily Star. Archer was born in north London on 15 April 1940 but would quickly move to Weston-super-Mare in Somerset, where his family bought a house from John Cleese's mother.

As many have observed, Jeffrey Archer, who has died aged 86, led a life as colourful as the plot in one of his novels. He was, at one time or other, a senior Conservative politician, a best-selling author, a peer of the realm, and a convicted perjurer. Possessed of huge drive, vast wealth and immense personal charm, Archer bounced back from disaster and, more than once, rebuilt a shattered life. But for all his talents, he will be remembered as a man affected by a defective moral compass, whose public humiliation was entirely self-inflicted. Jeffrey Howard Archer was born in north London on 15 April 1940. Within two weeks, his parents moved to Weston-super-Mare in Somerset, where they bought a house from John Cleese's mother.

Image caption, George Fenton was one of the UK's most prolific and successful composers The composer George Fenton, whose work included music for films such as Gandhi, Groundhog Day, and The Fisher King, as well as TV shows like Planet Earth and Bergerac, has died at the age of 76. The prolific musician received five Oscar nominations for his film scores, including those for The Remains of the Day and Cry Freedom. His work on the BBC TV show Blue Planet also earned awards from the Baftas, Emmy Awards and Ivor Novellos; and he also composed theme music for BBC News programmes such as Newsnight and Breakfast Time. In a statement, Fenton's family said: We are very sad to announce that George Fenton passed away unexpectedly today. They continued: He is survived by his loving wife Amanda, ex-wife Jane, children Gemma, Grace and Bridget, and grandchildren Lola, Audrey, Alfred, George, Frank and Beatrice, and a life of music.

US'watching closely' after plague researcher dies in Russia, Rubio says To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. The US says it is closely monitoring the case of a Russian lab technician who died at a plague research centre in Siberia. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said there was concern the incident could have led to the spread of pneumonic plague, but that there was no cause for alarm. Announcing the cause of death as pneumonia of undetermined etiology, Irkutsk's governor said that no micro-organisms linked to the woman's work had been found in her biological samples. Unconfirmed reports had suggested the woman fell ill either after breaking a test tube containing the pathogen or following a field trip to a region where plague is found naturally among wild rodents. No other cases of staff from the plague institute seeking medical attention since her death had been reported, Irkutsk governor Igor Kobzev said, quoting Russia's consumer and health watchdog, Rospotrebnadzor.
