A study of over 5,000 teens found a strong connection between childhood stress and dental anxiety. Childhood stresses may increase your chances of developing dental fear. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Few people enjoy someone else poking around their mouth. A recent study from the New York University College of Dentistry indicates that as many as three out of four adults dread going to the dentist .

Some companies are working to remedy the issue. Some AI chatbots rely on flawed research from retracted scientific papers to answer questions, according to recent studies. The findings, confirmed by, raise questions about how reliable AI tools are at evaluating scientific research and could complicate efforts by countries and industries seeking to invest in AI tools for scientists. AI search tools and chatbots are already known to fabricate links and references. But answers based on the material from actual papers can mislead as well if those papers have been retracted. The chatbot is "using a real paper, real material, to tell you something," says Weikuan Gu, a medical researcher at the University of Tennessee in Memphis and an author of one of the recent studies .

These days, everyone seems to have an opinion about A.I. companions. Last year, I found myself joining the debate, publishing a paper--co-written with two fellow psychology professors and a philosopher--called "In Praise of Empathic A.I." Our argument was that, in certain ways, the latest crop of A.I.s might make for better company than many real people do, and that, rather than recoiling in horror, we ought to consider what A.I. companions could offer to those who are lonely. This, perhaps unsurprisingly, did not go over especially well in my corner of academia. In the social sciences and the humanities, A.I. tends to be greeted less as a technological advance than as a harbinger of decline. There are the familiar worries about jobs--ours and our students'--and about the ease with which A.I. can be used for cheating.

The first video shows a man who thinks he's talking to a woman (bottom right corner) but is actually talking to a man (top left corner) and the second videos is deepfake demo. Researchers in the United Kingdom have used artificial intelligence technology to record the sound of keystrokes with surprising accuracy. A recent study, reportedly published as part of the IEEE European Symposium on Security and Privacy Workshops, simulated a cyberattack in which a deep learning model classified laptop keystrokes using audio from the video-conferencing platform Zoom and a smartphone-integrated microphone. Computer scientists from Durham University, University of Surrey and Royal Holloway University of London said that, when trained on keystrokes recorded by a nearby phone, the classifier achieved an accuracy of 95%. That's the highest accuracy seen without the use of a language model.

A deep learning model predicts preterm births by analyzing electrical activity in the woman's uterus during pregnancy. Click the article to learn more. OH, BABY! – New AI technology could help ensure healthier preterm births. AI FAIL – Find out how a chatbot flunked a public health crisis test. Adults over age 60 who want to stave off memory loss could benefit from taking a daily multivitamin supplement, suggests a recent study.

There are now hundreds of image-specific AI algorithms across the fields of radiology and cardiology. This is all very exciting. According to a recent study on clinical use of AI in osteoporosis published in the journal Nature, "Applying the AI algorithms in a clinical setting could help primary care providers classify patients with osteoporosis and improve treatment by recommending appropriate exercise programs." Unfortunately, there is a huge caveat. The problem occurs when these algorithms are extended to clinical practice without set standards and requiring massive amounts of data on which to train.

"Data is the new oil" by Clive Humby highlights the importance of data in the 21st century. In this context, data augmentation is one of the AI trends which solves the lack of data for machine learning tasks. It is even more critical when collecting large amounts of data is difficult, especially for tabular data. Moreover, synthetic data help to protect private information contained in the original data (e.g., medical records) while sharing it with other parties and the research community. Existing applications of synthetic data include deepfake[1], oversampling for imbalanced data, and public healthcare records.

The coronavirus pandemic has changed the way we live, work, and interact with each other. We've all had to make adjustments to the way we do things, including the way we shop. We're now seeing a shift towards contactless and digital payments, which has made it easier for us to stay safe and healthy while still being able to purchase the items we need. Contactless payments have become increasingly popular during the pandemic and offer a range of benefits. Not only are they faster, more convenient, and more secure than traditional payment methods, but they also provide an extra layer of protection from the virus.

Sleep is an essential part of our biology. Not getting enough of it harms our decision-making skills, our reasoning, even our social interactions. However, sleep has recently become yet another aspect of our lives that causes endless worry, rather than being enjoyable. We've become obsessed with getting the perfect night's sleep. As a consequence, many of us are now afflicted by sleep anxiety, a condition in which people worry about not falling asleep or staying asleep.

Alex Wiltschko began collecting perfumes as a teenager. His first bottle was Azzaro Pour Homme, a timeless cologne he spotted on the shelf at a T.J. Maxx department store. He recognized the name from Perfumes: The Guide, a book whose poetic descriptions of aroma had kick-started his obsession. Enchanted, he saved up his allowance to add to his collection. "I ended up going absolutely down the rabbit hole," he said.
