Professionals believe AI isn't delivering value. Too many organizations suffer from tool blast. Focus on strong use cases to deliver uplift. As many as 91% of employees say their organization is falling short of reaching the value that AI can deliver, according to the 2026 Future of Professionals Report from global content and technology company Thomson Reuters.


AI can detect heart disease in women using mammograms, study suggests

The Guardian

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.

The Download: threats from space mirrors and credit for AI drugs

MIT Technology Review

Plus: The data center backlash is scrambling the midterm elections. This company's plans to deploy space mirrors could jeopardize the night sky for many A company that plans to beam sunlight from space to Earth on demand might unintentionally brighten the night sky for many more people than intended, according to a new study. Later this year, Reflect Orbital plans to launch a test satellite that will extend an 18-by-18-meter mirror in orbit. The goal is to eventually launch up to 50,000 larger satellites that can reflect sunlight to Earth on demand. Reflect Orbital says the technology could extend sunlight for solar panel charging, emergency response, and military activities. But new research suggests the giant beams could shine as bright as 10,000 full moons and scatter light over tens of kilometers, raising concerns about dark skies, aviation, and wildlife.


Child-monitoring apps might need a reboot

MIT Technology Review

Monitoring apps promise to keep young people safer online, but looking in on kids' phones can backfire. Online safety experts say there's a better way. Pam Wisniewski's digital adolescence showed her the best and the worst of the internet. At 14, she left an abusive home, where she'd been isolated in a fifth-wheel trailer at the end of a seven-mile dirt road. She moved in with her older sister and taught herself to type on AOL Instant Messenger. Online, she sought out the support and the community she'd lacked at home. She also discovered how thin the ice can be. "I sent my address to some guy in New Mexico to send me a mug with my name on it," she recalls. "And then I found a news story like five, 10 years later that he killed somebody." Those experiences set the course of her career.


AI's recursive self-improvement might not come so quickly after all

MIT Technology Review

AI's recursive self-improvement might not come so quickly after all AI agents are not yet creative enough to carry out genuinely innovative open-ended AI research, it seems. The AI industry's boldest promise right now is that AI will soon improve itself, with almost no need for human oversight. LLMs can already write code, generate synthetic data for training, and optimize the computer chips they run on. Forecasts of explosive AI progress predict that what researchers call recursive self-improvement is on the horizon. But a new study suggests that it might take a while for us to get there. The researchers behind it found that AI agents are not yet capable of conducting open-ended AI research--free-form investigations that have no clear-cut answers and require judgment and taste, which may be integral to building self-improving AI.

Her Brain Was Broken. It Was Fixed With Sound--Not a Scalpel

WIRED

One woman's meth addiction was so bad, the only option left might have been brain surgery. Then a single session of noninvasive, focused ultrasound seemed to do what years of treatment could not. Erin McNulty had been missing for weeks when her mother, Linda, sat down on a chair in her living room, exhausted. Linda had put in her usual seven-day workweek at the antiques shop she runs near Burlington, Vermont. She'd spent her free evenings driving around, trying to track down her daughter. Erin, 45 at the time, had been using methamphetamine for years. Her substance use started in high school--first alcohol, then marijuana, and eventually heroin. Erin's brother used heroin, too. When Linda found out, she started driving her kids to a methadone clinic three hours away in Massachusetts. The methadone helped, but it made Erin feel tired all the time, so she started using cocaine to stay awake. There were stretches of sobriety--she had her daughter during one of them, in 2008.
