Thousands of patients worldwide are waiting for a potentially life-saving donor. Thousands of patients worldwide are waiting for a potentially life-saving donor. Doctors have developed an AI tool that could reduce wasted efforts to transplant organs by 60%. Thousands of patients worldwide are waiting for a potentially life-saving donor, and more candidates are stuck on waiting lists than there are available organs. Recently, in cases where people need a liver transplant, access has been expanded by using donors who die after cardiac arrest.

AI tool helped recover 500m lost to fraud, government says
A new artificial intelligence tool designed to crack down on fraud has helped the UK government recover almost £500m over the last year, the BBC can reveal. More than a third of the money clawed back related to fraudulent activity during the Covid-19 pandemic, with other cash being recouped from unlawful council tax claims and illegal subletting of social housing. The government will announce later that a new AI tool which has helped to identify the fraud will now be licensed to other countries, including the US and Australia. Civil liberties campaigners have previously criticised the Labour government for its use of AI in trying to counter fraud. The Cabinet Office says the £480m recovered in the 12 months from April 2024 is the largest sum ever reclaimed by government anti-fraud teams in a single year.
'You can make really good stuff – fast': new AI tools a gamechanger for film-makers
Mallal says he wants to see a "broadly accessible and easy-to-use programme where artists are compensated for their work". Beeban Kidron, a cross-bench peer and leading campaigner against the government proposals, says AI film-making tools are "fantastic" but "at what point are they going to realise that these tools are literally built on the work of creators?" She adds: "Creators need equity in the new system or we lose something precious." YouTube says its terms and conditions allow Google to use creators' work for making AI models – and denies that all of YouTube's inventory has been used to train its models. Mallal calls his use of AI to make films "prompt craft", a phrase that uses the term for giving instructions to AI systems. When making the Ukraine film, he says he was amazed at how quickly a camera angle or lighting tone could be adjusted with a few taps on a keyboard.

Commentary: Did AI really defend the KKK at the end of my column? Let's discuss
Journalism schools teach that writers should report the news, not be the news. But what happens when one of your articles goes viral -- not for its content but rather for how an AI doohickey swallowed up what you wrote and upchucked a controversial summation? On Feb. 25, the Times published my columna about the 100th anniversary of when Anaheim voters kicked four Ku Klux Klan members off the City Council. That many readers seethed at my assertion that the lack of attention paid to the anniversary was unsurprising to me since Anaheim is a place that loves to "celebrate the positive." More than a few insisted that the KKK in 1920s Orange County wasn't as bad as in the South, which was such an O.C. response that I didn't give it a second thought.

Microsoft's new AI tool that takes screenshots of your laptop every few seconds is dubbed a 'privacy nightmare' by experts

Dr Kris Shrishak, an adviser on AI and privacy, called the tool a potential'privacy nightmare'.
From eating rocks to putting glue on your pizza and smoking while pregnant, here's what Google's new AI tool is (incorrectly) telling users to do
It looks like Google's latest attempt at making people's lives easier with artificial intelligence (AI) is backfiring. The tech giant's new tool, 'AI Overviews', gives users AI-powered summaries of search results on Chrome, Firefox and the Google app browser. But since it started rolling out this month, people have noticed that it's returning incorrect statements and suggestions – many of which are dangerous. Among them, it claims you can'use gasoline to make a spicy spaghetti dish', eat rocks and put glue on your pizza. In response to the search'cheese not sticking to pizza', Google suggests adding'non-toxic glue' to the sauce to give it more tackiness'.

DrugGPT: new AI tool could help doctors prescribe medicine in England
Drugs are a cornerstone of medicine, but sometimes doctors make mistakes when prescribing them and patients don't take them properly. A new AI tool developed at Oxford University aims to tackle both those problems. DrugGPT offers a safety net for clinicians when they prescribe medicines and gives them information that may help their patients better understand why and how to take them. Doctors and other healthcare professionals who prescribe medicines will be able to get an instant second opinion by entering a patient's conditions into the chatbot. Prototype versions respond with a list of recommended drugs and flag up possible adverse effects and drug-drug interactions.

Who benefits when shoppers use Amazon's new AI tool?
Amazon has begun rolling out a new artificial intelligence assistant that is meant to address shoppers product questions, but the feature raises as many questions as it answers. Rufus, as the software is known, will help users, according to Amazon, by guiding them to the toaster ovens or dinosaur toys that best fit their needs. Yet Amazon has a history of steering customers toward products that most benefit Amazon, either because they are more profitable or are backed by advertising dollars, according to the Federal Trade Commission's pending 2023 antitrust lawsuit against Amazon. The FTC accused Amazon of "biasing Amazon's search results to preference Amazon's own products over ones that Amazon knows are of better quality." Further, the FTC alleges the Seattle firm operates a "pay-to-play" system, giving top billing for the products on which marketers were willing to spend the most.
