A Single Typo in Your Medical Records Can Make Your AI Doctor Go Dangerously Haywire

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-22 21:00:37

A single typo, formatting error, or slang word makes an AI more likely to tell a patient they're not sick or don't need to seek medical care. That's what MIT researchers found in a June study currently awaiting peer review, which we covered previously. Even the presence of colorful or emotional language, they discovered, was enough to throw off the AI's medical advice. Now, in a new interview with the Boston Globe, study coauthor Marzyeh Ghassemi is warning about the serious harm this could ca

Great Scott! ‘Back to the Future’ Is Getting a Snazzy Theatrical Re-Release

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-11-24 08:30:17

Forty years after its release, Back to the Future‘s pop-culture presence is as strong as ever thanks to theme parks, the tie-in musical, a missing-guitar mystery, and simply the enduring love for the movie itself. Starting October 31, fans can revisit the Robert Zemeckis-directed, Steven Spielberg-produced time-travel classic on the big screen. And we do mean big: this re-release is targeting premium, large-scale formats, including Dolby Cinema, 4DX, and D-Box—as well as IMAX. According to a Un

The 11 Best Greens Powders, Tested and Reviewed (2025)

I took a deep dive on my hunt for the best greens powders, speaking with dietitians and trying popular brands to uncover whether or not they're worth the money. The health supplement market is booming. Thanks to a 1994 FDA ruling that supplements are food and not medicine, it's also unregulated—people are purchasing products that may or may not work, and which could have almost anything in them. Spoiler alert: Greens powders aren’t harmful, ultimately, but the dietitians I spoke to agreed that

BBC Boss Promises ‘Doctor Who’ Will Carry On—With or Without Disney

The end of Ncuti Gatwa‘s run as Doctor Who was confusing for multiple reasons. But beyond the “Wait, what’s Billie Piper doing here?” of that regeneration scene is a larger question about the show’s future. With no additional seasons scheduled, no updates on the BBC-Disney partnership that powered the Fifteenth Doctor’s seasons, and the most recent showrunner Russell T Davies distancing himself from any Who-related inquiries, fans have been left wondering if, not when, the show will return.

Settlements of gloomy octopuses in Australia Octopolis and Octlantis are two non-human settlements occupied by gloomy octopuses (Octopus tetricus) in Jervis Bay, on the south coast of New South Wales. The first site, named "Octopolis" by biologists, was found in 2009. Octopolis consists of a bed of shells (mainly scallop shells) in an ellipse shape, 2–3 meters diameter on its longer axis, with a single piece of anthropogenic detritus, believed to be scrap metal, within the site.

What Seemed Like a Pregnancy Was Actually Something Far More Dangerous

A woman’s supposed pregnancy turned out to be something much stranger. In a recent report from her doctors, they detail how the woman had developed an incredibly rare form of ovarian cancer that mimicked the symptoms of pregnancy, even causing a positive pregnancy test. Doctors in India described the case of mistaken identity earlier this July in the journal Oncoscience.

This Week’s ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Hid a ‘Doctor Who’ Easter Egg in Plain Sight

The latest episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds planted the seeds for what’ll eventually become classic Star Trek by giving James Kirk (Paul Wesley) time in the captain’s chair. Along the way, it also decided to have a little crossover with Doctor Who. In this week’s “The Sehlat Who Ate Its Tail,” Kirk and the Farragut crew have to rescue the Enterprise from the tendrils of a power-draining scavenger ship.
