AI ethics on Friday, 6 February 2026

As generative AI becomes increasingly integrated into higher education, understanding how students engage with these technologies is essential for responsible adoption. This study evaluates the Educational AI Hub, an AI-powered learning framework, implemented in undergraduate civil and environmental engineering courses at a large R1 public university. Using a mixed-methods design combining pre- and post-surveys, system usage logs, and qualitative analysis of students' AI interactions, the resear

Abstract Multi-agent artificial intelligence (MAAI) represents a foundational shift in the automation of knowledge work, moving beyond static workflows toward adaptive systems of interacting AI-based agents. These agents perceive, reason, and coordinate in real time to address complex, context-rich tasks that traditionally require human expertise. Drawing on the conceptual roots of process automation, agentic information systems, and AI, this paper introduces a structured, five-component framewo

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly shifting from experimental pilots to mainstream clinical infrastructure, redefining how evidence, accountability, and ethics intersect in healthcare. This narrative review integrates insights from peer-reviewed studies and policy frameworks to examine seven cross-cutting aspects: bias and fairness, explainability, safety and quality, privacy and data protection, accountability and liability, human oversight, and procurement and deployment. Findings reveal

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) remains a cornerstone treatment for many hematological malignancies, but its clinical success is still challenged by graft-vs.-host disease (GvHD), infectious complications, and the profound microbial disruptions caused by conditioning, antibiotics, and hospitalization. Over the past few years, a growing body of work has highlighted how tightly post-transplant immunity is linked to the state of the gut microbiota. In particular, short-chain fatty ac

Background: Corporate governance is an essential framework for enhancing performance efficiency, accountability, and ethical behavior within corporations. Emerging technologies, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), have infiltrated traditional corporate governance models, management practices, and decision-making processes due to their tremendous capabilities. However, implementation poses a significant challenge due to unresolved legal and ethical issues concerning the anthropocentric mod
