While it might sound like something out of an episode of Black Mirror, scientists have warned that AI might be coming to take your job. Microsoft researchers have revealed the 40 jobs most likely to be pushed out by artificial intelligence - and the 40 most likely to remain human. And it's bad news for anyone who has been brushing up on their language skills, since interpreters and translators are right at the top of the list. Historians, writers and authors, political scientists, and journalists are also likely to face increasing automation in the coming years. However, it isn't just jobs involving reading and writing that could be on the chopping block.

With the boom in popularity of artificial intelligence (AI), attention has quickly turned to the impact such innovation could have on the jobs market. There are fears that thousands of human roles may soon disappear because of huge advances in automation, with it emerging only last month that the UK Government privately thinks a'substantial number' of civil service jobs will soon be obsolete. Not to mention there is also a growing Silicon Valley civil war about whether rapidly evolving AI technology is a good thing or a bad thing. Well, research suggests that air traffic controllers, midwives, librarians and those with a career in sales have little to worry about, but if you work behind a bar, as a window cleaner or in customer service, the news isn't quite so positive. Nor is it for waiters and waitresses, who at 72 per cent are at the highest risk of having their roles carried out by a robot, according to digital media company DailyAI.com.

Major economies are on the "cusp of an AI revolution" that could trigger job losses in skilled professions such as law, medicine and finance, according to an influential international organisation. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) said the occupations at highest risk from AI-driven automation were highly skilled jobs and represented about 27% of employment across its 38 member countries, which include the UK, Japan, Germany, the US, Australia and Canada. The body said it was "clear that the potential for [AI-driven jobs] substitution remains significant, raising fears of decreasing wages and job losses". However, it added that for the time being AI was changing jobs rather than replacing them. "Occupations in finance, medicine and legal activities which often require many years of education, and whose core functions rely on accumulated experience to reach decisions, may suddenly find themselves at risk of automation from AI," said the OECD.

It took just the month of March this year to fell an area of forest in Triunfo do Xingu equivalent to 700 football pitches. At more than 16,000 sq km, this Environmental Protection Area (APA) in the south-eastern corner of the Brazilian Amazon, in the state of Pará, is one of the largest conservation areas in the world. And according to a new tool that predicts where deforestation will happen next, it's also the APA at highest risk of even more destruction. The tool, PrevisIA, is an artificial intelligence platform created by researchers at environmental nonprofit Imazon. Instead of trying to repair damage done by deforestation after the fact, they wanted to find a way to prevent it from happening at all.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is making inroads in the healthcare industry in various ways. From improving medical diagnoses to finding new cures for diseases, AI is revolutionizing the way healthcare professionals approach their work. One exciting example of AI in healthcare is its application to electrocardiograms (ECGs), which are used to monitor and diagnose heart health. Researchers in northern Alberta, Canada, are utilizing AI to glean more information from ECGs and improve patient care and the healthcare system as a whole. ECGs are a standard test in hospitals, used to check the rhythm and electrical activity of the heart.

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools are certainly impressive at their ability to perform complicated tasks once thought only capable to humans. The revolutionary ChatGPT has been used to pass exams, deliver a sermon, write software and give relationship advice -- to name just a handful of its functions. But, for some people, these technologies have raised a scary question -- could they take my job? A study from Princeton University in New Jersey, US has revealed the 20 occupations most at risk of being made redundant thanks to AI. Taking the top spot is call centre operator, but the following eight are all teachers of different disciplines, including languages, history, law and religion. The authors wrote: 'The effect of AI on work will likely be multi-faceted. In some cases, AI may substitute for work previously done by humans, and in other cases, AI may complement work done by humans.

We conducted a prospective analysis of a machine learning algorithm to predict hypoglycemia. The algorithm was trained, validated, and tested using data from 2013 to 2019. The details of the machine learning methods have been published, but in brief we employed multiple supervised machine learning techniques (e.g., extreme gradient boosting) to predict inpatient hypoglycemia and severe hypoglycemia using a wide-range of patient-level data (i.e., features) including medications, labs, nursing notes, comorbid conditions, among others. Our deployed model was an extreme gradient boosting model. The pre-implementation period for the model was Jan 1, 2018, to May 31, 2020, and the model was implemented on the cardiovascular surgery and vascular surgery ward at St. Michael's Hospital of Unity Health January 1, 2021 and evaluated until April 30, 2022.

It's known as one of the most intelligent and fearless breeds of dog, but if you have a Doberman, a new study may prompt you to keep a close eye on it. Researchers from the Royal Veterinary College have revealed that the Doberman is the breed with the highest risk of hypothyroidism – a hormonal disorder that can cause lethargy, hair loss and a'tragic' facial expression. In contrast, French Bulldogs, Pugs and Yorkshire Terriers are among the breeds least likely to experience the condition. Bill Lambert, Health and Welfare Executive at The Kennel Club said: 'These findings are important to help us to identify which dogs may be at most risk of developing hypothyroidism. 'Ultimately, this should help owners to spot the initial signs, and vets to diagnose earlier to enable treatment, which is known to be effective in managing the disease.'

When her phone rang in February, Mashawn Cross was skeptical of the gentle voice offering help at the end of the line. "You said you do what? And you're with who?" the 52-year-old recalled saying. Cross, who wasn't working because of her ailing back and knees, was scraping by on roughly $200 a month in aid plus whatever she could make from recycling bottles and cans. Her gas and electric bills were chewing up her checks.
