A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Zurich delved into the capabilities of AI models, specifically focusing on OpenAI's GPT-3, to determine their potential risks and benefits in generating and disseminating (dis)information. Led by postdoctoral researchers Giovanni Spitale and Federico Germani, alongside Nikola Biller-Andorno, director of the Institute of Biomedical Ethics and History of Medicine (IBME), University of Zurich, the study involving 697 participants sought to

While more and more people are shopping online, purchasing clothes on the internet poses a unique challenge: What if it doesn't fit? The apparel industry's latest solution is virtual try-on sessions that allow consumers to share photos or measurements of themselves to create a similar-sized avatar.

Pangolins are fascinating creatures. This animal looks like a walking pine cone, as it is the only mammal completely covered with hard scales. The scales are made of keratin, just like our hair and nails. The scales overlap and are directly connected to the underlying soft skin layer. This special arrangement allows the animals to curl up into a ball in case of danger.

In a study to determine how the Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer or ChatGPT would fare in medical specialist examinations compared to human candidates without additional training, the Artificial Intelligence chatbot performed better than human candidates in a mock Obstetrics and Gynaecology (O&G) specialist clinical examination, used to assess the eligibility of individuals to become O&G specialists.

What could healthcare look like in 10, 20, or 30 years? What will be the future of healthcare? Will medical professionals make diagnoses with the aid of artificial intelligence? Will doctors use big data analytics to predict the course of diseases? Will we stay healthy for longer thanks to state-of-the-art screenings and preventive care? Today in London, Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin assumed the presidency of the European University Hospital Alliance (EUHA) for the coming months.
