Researchers used neuroimaging and two adult datasets to test the Network Neuroscience Theory. They found that general intelligence reflects system-level organization and coordination across large-scale brain networks, with implications for development, injury and artificial systems.

Researchers tested Google’s NotebookLM, which turns research papers into podcast-style audio. The summaries were engaging and clearer for teaching, but every audio overview contained mistakes, so the authors advise reading the original papers to check claims.
Researchers studied why modern language models fail at long multiplication and compared standard fine-tuning with an Implicit Chain of Thought (ICoT) method. ICoT models learned to store intermediate results and reached perfect accuracy.
Health groups in Peru and Argentina use artificial intelligence to give sexual and reproductive health information to young and marginalised people. Projects include a Quechua chatbot and a WhatsApp platform, but experts warn of bias and access problems.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins developed an explainable AI tool that gives immediate text feedback to medical students practicing suturing. A small randomized study found faster learning for students with prior experience; beginners showed less benefit.
