Radiology reports, designed for efficient communication between medical experts, often remain incomprehensible to patients. This inaccessibility could potentially lead to anxiety, decreased engagement in treatment decisions, and poorer health outcomes, undermining patient-centered care. We present ReXplain (Radiology eXplanation), an innovative AI-driven system that translates radiology findings into patient-friendly video reports. ReXplain uniquely integrates a large language model for medical text simplification and text-anatomy association, an image segmentation model for anatomical region identification, and an avatar generation tool for engaging interface visualization. ReXplain enables producing comprehensive explanations with plain language, highlighted imagery, and 3D organ renderings in the form of video reports. To evaluate the utility of ReXplain-generated explanations, we conducted two rounds of user feedback collection from six board-certified radiologists. The results of this proof-of-concept study indicate that ReXplain could accurately deliver radiological information and effectively simulate one-on-one consultation, shedding light on enhancing patient-centered radiology with potential clinical usage. This work demonstrates a new paradigm in AI-assisted medical communication, potentially improving patient engagement and satisfaction in radiology care, and opens new avenues for research in multimodal medical communication.

A groundbreaking artificial intelligence-powered facial recognition system that can identify people wearing masks has been deployed by law …

Ultra-creepy technology that George Orwell could not have imagined in his most terrifying nightmares is invading government-school classrooms -- and children's minds -- all around the world. While many of the Big Brother innovations are coming out of Communist China, they are making their way into American schools quickly as well. In a video report by the Wall Street Journal on artificial intelligence in Communist Chinese schools, children in a communist indoctrination camp masquerading as a school are shown wearing bands around their heads. The devices feature colored lights on the front that indicate for the "teacher" whether the child is paying attention or distracted. Red is for "deeply focused."

Deepfakes continue to arouse widespread fears, despite the growing number of positive applications ... [ ] of the underlying technology. Yes, deepfake technology has understandably become notorious in the wake of deepfake porn videos and the threat deepfakes seemingly pose to politics. However, the ability to generate realistic simulations using artificial intelligence will, on the whole, be only a positive for humanity. Increasingly, new uses are being found for deepfakes. Whether recreating long-dead artists in museums or editing video without the need for a reshoot, deepfake technology will allow us to experience things that no longer exist, or that have never existed.
