AI ethics in August 2025

Background: Theintegration of artificial intelligence (AI) into clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) has significantly enhanced diagnostic precision, risk stratification, and treatment planning. AI models remain a barrier to clinical adoption, emphasizing the critical role of explainable AI (XAI). Methods: This systematic meta-analysis synthesizes findings from 62 peer-reviewed studies published between 2018 and 2025, examining the use of XAI methods within CDSSs across various clinical dom

Abstract The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare is reshaping clinical practice, offering both opportunities for enhanced decision-making and risks of skill degradation among medical professionals. This growing impact calls for a comprehensive evaluation of its effects on medical expertise. This study presents a mixed-method literature review, combining systematic analysis with narrative synthesis to examine AI-induced deskilling and upskilling inhibition-the erosion of med

Information fusion, in the context of the Generative AI era, must distinguish AI Agents from Agentic AI. This review critically distinguishes between AI Agents and Agentic AI, offering a structured, conceptual taxonomy, application mapping, and analysis of opportunities and challenges to clarify their divergent design philosophies and capabilities. We begin by outlining the search strategy and foundational definitions, characterizing AI Agents as modular systems driven and enabled by LLMs and LI

Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing how we teach and learn, generating excitement and concern about its potential to transform education. To contribute to the debate, this systematic literature review examines current research trends (publication year, country of study, publication journal, education level, education field, and AI type), as well as the benefits and challenges of integrating AI into education. This review analyzed 155 peer-reviewed empirical studies published between 2015 an

This scoping review examines the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in sports biomechanics, with a focus on enhancing performance and preventing injuries. The review addresses key research questions, including primary AI methods, their effectiveness in improving athletic performance, their potential for injury prediction, sport-specific applications, strategies for translating knowledge, ethical considerations, and remaining research gaps. Following the PRISMA-ScR guidelines, a comprehe

In an age when machine learning and artificial intelligence are broadly employed, traditional statistics can still provide insightful information and results quickly and at a low computational cost. Statistics, in fact, offers many useful tools to researchers, including a series of univariate statistical tests that can identify relationships between pairs of numeric samples: Student's t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-squared test, and Kruskal-Wallis test. These tests generate several outcomes, i

This book provides a comprehensive exploration of capacity building strategies in developing countries, focusing on sustainable approaches that strengthen institutions, empower communities, and enhance local ownership. Drawing on case studies and evidence-based practices, it addresses organizational development, leadership cultivation, and the integration of technology and innovation. The text emphasizes adaptive strategies tailored to diverse cultural and socio-economic contexts, offering pract

The development of data-driven and targeted drug delivery systems is essential for advancing precision therapeutics. Despite substantial progress in nanocarrier development, conventional platforms continue to face major challenges in clinical translation due to biological complexity, off-target accumulation, and limited adaptability to dynamic physiological environments. The integration of nanoarchitectonics and artificial intelligence (AI) offers an advanced strategy for engineering delivery sy
