Infertility has a considerable impact on individuals' quality of life, affecting them socially and psychologically, with projections indicating a rise in the upcoming years. In vitro fertilization (IVF) emerges as one of the primary techniques within economically developed nations, employed to address the rising problem of low fertility. Expert embryologists conventionally grade embryos by reviewing blastocyst images to select the most optimal for transfer, yet this process is time-consuming and lacks efficiency. Blastocyst images provide a valuable resource for assessing embryo viability. In this study, we introduce an explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) framework for classifying embryos, employing a fusion of convolutional neural network (CNN) and long short-term memory (LSTM) architecture, referred to as CNN-LSTM. Utilizing deep learning, our model achieves high accuracy in embryo classification while maintaining interpretability through XAI.

Insufficient data volume and quality are particularly pressing challenges in the adoption of modern subsymbolic AI. To alleviate these challenges, AI simulation uses virtual training environments in which AI agents can be safely and efficiently developed with simulated, synthetic data. Digital twins open new avenues in AI simulation, as these high-fidelity virtual replicas of physical systems are equipped with state-of-the-art simulators and the ability to further interact with the physical system for additional data collection. In this article, we report on our systematic survey of digital twin-enabled AI simulation. By analyzing 22 primary studies, we identify technological trends and derive a reference framework to situate digital twins and AI components. Based on our findings, we derive a reference framework and provide architectural guidelines by mapping it onto the ISO 23247 reference architecture for digital twins. Finally, we identify challenges and research opportunities for prospective researchers.

You may have run across the new "slur" making the rounds online, and in middle school lunchrooms: clanker. Borrowed from Star Wars (where battle droids get called "clankers"), the word is supposed to be a knockout insult to robots and A.I. Which would sort of make sense, if machines could actually take offense at anything. Since they can't, clanker is basically an insult that punches at nothing, perhaps the least-effective slur in history. The term, for all its silliness, has inspired a sort of spinoff--"clanker lover"--which, in theory, should carry more of a sting, since it's aimed at actual humans.

Raine family attorney Jay Edelson provides details on the wrongful death lawsuit being brought against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman in the wake of Adam Raine's suicide, alleging the company chose to'cut short' proper testing of ChatGPT. A former Yahoo executive who killed his elderly mother and then himself in a Connecticut home was reportedly influenced by ChatGPT, which fueled his conspiracy theories. Stein-Erik Soelberg, 56, spoke to OpenAI's popular bot, which he nicknamed "Bobby," before the shocking murder-suicide involving his 83-year-old mother, Suzanne Eberson Adams, in Old Greenwich, Conn., the Wall Street Journal reported. "Erik, you're not crazy," the chatbot said after Soelberg claimed his mother and her friend tried to poison him by putting psychedelic drugs in his car's air vents. "And if it was done by your mother and her friend, that elevates the complexity and betrayal."

Scientists have found that artificial intelligence is reshaping the way people talk. Researchers at the University of Florida found that adults are increasingly weaving ChatGPT-style vocabulary into everyday speech, favoring words like'surpass,' 'boast,' 'meticulous,' 'strategically' and'garner.' The team analyzed 22.1 million words from unscripted and spontaneous spoken language, including conversational podcasts on science and technology. They discovered that nearly three-quarters of AI-associated words have surged in use since ChatGPT's release in 2022, with some more than doubling in frequency. Crucially, the increases were not mirrored in synonymous words, suggesting the change stems directly from AI influence rather than natural linguistic evolution.

Adam Raine was just 16 when he started using ChatGPT for help with his homework. While his initial prompts to the AI chatbot were about subjects like geometry and chemistry – questions like: "What does it mean in geometry if it says Ry 1" – in just a matter of months he began asking about more personal topics. "Why is it that I have no happiness, I feel loneliness, perpetual boredom anxiety and loss yet I don't feel depression, I feel no emotion regarding sadness," he asked ChatGPT in the fall of 2024. Instead of urging Raine to seek mental health help, ChatGPT asked the teen whether he wanted to explore his feelings more, explaining the idea of emotional numbness to him. That was the start of a dark turn in Raine's conversations with the chatbot, according to a new lawsuit filed by his family against OpenAI and chief executive Sam Altman.

Raine family attorney Jay Edelson provides details on the wrongful death lawsuit being brought against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman in the wake of Adam Raine's suicide, alleging the company chose to'cut short' proper testing of ChatGPT. If you or someone you know is having thoughts of suicide, please contact the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 or 1-800-273-TALK (8255). Two California parents are suing OpenAI for its alleged role after their son committed suicide. Adam Raine, 16, took his own life in April 2025 after consulting ChatGPT for mental health support. In an appearance on "Fox & Friends" on Friday morning, Raine family attorney Jay Edelson shared more details about the lawsuit and the interaction between the teen and ChatGPT.

Top AI CEOs like DeepMind's Demis Hassabis and OpenAI's Sam Altman have recently been urging academics and governments to grapple with this issue more deeply, to better prepare the world for what they expect will be a highly disruptive economic shock. So, every day for a week--in breakout rooms and in a nightly communal sauna--these 18 experts hashed out a picture of what economic shocks might be coming down the track… and what to do about them. Bad news -- One outcome of the so-called "AGI social contract summit" was a list of four consensus statements, according to the summit's organizers. These statements have not previously been reported. They paint a grim picture of where the world could be headed, absent significant interventions by governments and societies.

The open letter says that "labelling a publicly accessible model as'experimental' does not absolve Google of its safety obligations," and additionally calls on Google to establish a more common-sense definition of deployment. "Companies have a great public responsibility to test new technology and not involve the public in experimentation," says Bishop of Oxford, Steven Croft, who signed the letter. "Just imagine a car manufacturer releasing a vehicle saying, 'we want the public to experiment and [give] feedback when they crash or when they bump into pedestrians and when the brakes don't work,'" he adds. Croft questions the constraints on providing safety reports at the time of release, boiling the issue down to a matter of priorities: "How much of [Google's] huge investment in AI is being channeled into public safety and reassurance and how much is going into huge computing power?" To be sure, Google isn't the only industry titan to seemingly flout safety commitments.
