Artificial Intelligence: AI Model Detects Alzheimer’s Disease From Audio Recordings
Researchers at Boston University have developed a new machine-learning based tool that detects Alzheimer’s Disease from voice recordings of neuropsychological exams. This could help automate the time-consuming and cumbersome process of a manual evaluation of the person’s responses, as well as make it possible for the diagnosis to be made online because an in-person appointment is not required.
Artificial Intelligence: China Has AI Systems Claimed To Be Able To Read Minds
Researchers claim the Comprehensive National Science Center in Hefei, China, has developed brainwave-reading artificial intelligence systems to detect whether or not an individual supports the CCP, China’s Communist Party. In addition, the system purportedly registers a person’s allegiance to the CCP by measuring their brainwaves, facial expressions, and reactions to ‘political and thought education.’ The system ‘measures loyalty’ or reads minds in some manner. People took a stand in opposition to the post and it was subsequently taken down.
Artificial Intelligence: After Fintechs And Crypto, Lay Off Contagion Hits Argo AI

Artificial Intelligence: Diabetes Can Be Identified By AI Through Analysis Of Retinal Images
An eye doctor is likely to be the first person to detect diabetes, if only coincidentally, when they find evidence of diabetic retinopathy, a common complication arising from diabetes. However, by the time this is detected, it means the patient has suffered the disease for a long time, and is likely to have other complications such as periodontal disease and foot-and-ankle disease. AI technology goes a step ahead, however. It is even able to detect diabetes from retinas that appear healthy.
