💡Imagine being a researcher: you start with an idea, then you have to conduct literature reviews, formulate plans to execute experiments and write final comprehensive reports. That's a long journey. But wait, wait...you're in 2025, so you can potentially start with an idea and streamline the resulting workflow, especially repetitive and time-consuming tasks collaborating with #AI agents. This way, more quality time can be dedicated to ideation, workflow optimization, and critical review. 👉 This is the interesting opportunity described in the following #paper "Agent Laboratory: Using #LLM Agents as Research Assistants", where authors developed a framework consisting of specialized #AIagents driven by large language models to support you through the entire research workflow. 🔹Link to paper https://lnkd.in/dMBcKKP3 🔹Link to GitHub code https://lnkd.in/dzGz336z 🔹Link to a research example generated with the system https://lnkd.in/dYg42Tfu #ArtificialIntelligence #research #workflow #technology #agenticAI #automation

#Pain perception is extremely variable across the population. Such variability often limits the development of solutions to manage it and support patients within and outside clinical contexts, requiring fine-tuned and dynamic #personalization. At Softcare Studios, we have consistently embraced the challenge of creatively addressing this by developing diverse #VR experiences and a modular approach to support flexible delivery by clinical staff. 🔍 The following #paper published in the Journal of Medical Extended Reality, describes an interesting approach leveraging a combination of personalized #AI text to 3-dimensional generated VR landscape and AI cloned #voices, potentially able to reduce pain by providing personalized, emotionally supportive treatment that targets psychological and emotional factors in #chronicpain. #JMXR #digitalhealth #healthcare #XR #extendedreality #immersivehealthcare The Medical XR Advisory Council (MedXRSI) IVRHA (International Virtual Reality and Healthcare Association) Oliver D'Adda

"Elon Musk is now kingmaker in the United States, and Europe could be next. And if Musk’s brazen intervention in American politics pays off, then Brussels should be prepared for Silicon Valley’s influence to grow more partisan and aggressively political."

💡 Представете си следните три сценария 👇 : 👉 Дете следва да претърпи манипулация в болнично заведение, но за да се справи с болката и тревожността, не се използват медикаменти, а потапяне във виртуална реалност. 👉 Възрастен човек в болнична среда преодолява предизвикателствата на изолацията благодарение на VR технологиите. 👉 Персонализирано VR изживяване, съобразено с Вашите предпочитания и нужди, като част от терапевтичния процес. Това не са сценарии от бъдещето, а реалност, която се разгръща благодарение на интеграцията на технологиите и медицината. По темата разговаряме с Valentino Megale, PhD 🥽, който бе в София през октомври по покана на Monika Manolova, PhD от XRS.bg - Bulgarian XR Society за лекция в Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski Има ли място за VR технологиите в медицината ⁉️ Д-р Valentino Megale, PhD 🥽 разкрива как VR революционизира медицината, съчетавайки иновациите с емпатия и грижа за преодоляване на стреса и болката на пациентите!

"The Italian #G7 Presidency is pleased to announce the conclusion of discussions and the finalization of the Reporting Framework for the #HiroshimaProcess International Code of Conduct for Organizations Developing Advanced #AI Systems. This achievement underscores the G7's ongoing commitment to advancing safe, secure, and trustworthy AI. The Reporting Framework aims to promote transparency and accountability among organizations developing advanced AI systems. It will facilitate comparability around risk mitigation measures and contribute to identifying and disseminating good practices. Based on the 11 actions of the Hiroshima AI Process International Code of Conduct, the Reporting Framework includes a set of structured questions to guide organizations in aligning their practices with the Code of Conduct. An interactive online interface, set to launch in early 2025, will enable organizations to report on their practices and policies in alignment with these actions." 👏 Thanks so much Fabrizio De Rosa for contributing and sharing such valuable work! #Italy #digitalethics #digitalsafety #artificialintelligence Luis Bravo Martins Alina Kadlubsky Andrea Panero Geymet Oliver D'Adda Francesco Pagano Monika Manolova, PhD Hanna Linderstål Chris K.
