Nvidia launched a platform on 28 September that it says can quarantine out-of-control AI agents in "milliseconds", with 100 organisations from its ecosystem signed on, according to ServeTheHome. The safety pitch lands as insurers and health technology vendors put agents into production.
Two new studies published on 29 September reach very different conclusions about the human body and the tools we use to measure it. A third finds that most communication scholars already use generative AI at work, even though they consider it inappropriate.
Infections caused an estimated 2.3 million new cancer cases worldwide in 2024, or 12 per cent of all new diagnoses, according to a study published on Monday in The Lancet Oncology by researchers at the World Health Organization's cancer agency.
Nvidia announced its Open Agent Safety Platform on 28 September, a hardware and software stack it says can quarantine misbehaving AI agents within milliseconds, at a moment when insurers are pushing agents deeper into claims, underwriting and administration.
Infections caused an estimated 2.3 million new cancer cases worldwide in 2024, 12 per cent of the global total, according to a paper published on 28 September in The Lancet Oncology and reported by CBC News on 29 September.
On 29 September, Northwestern University neuroscientists reported that response speed is faster on an exhalation than an inhalation by an average of 41 milliseconds, a result published in the journal iScience. The same day, CBC News covered a Lancet Oncology study estimating that infections caused 2.3 million new cancer cases in 2024.
A University of Texas at Austin team fitted 82 young adults with a wrist-worn tracker and found that physical activity lengthened REM latency. A separate three-month study of 800 young adults found "basically zero" correlation between a Garmin watch's stress score and what users said they felt.
US and Canadian authorities have recalled the INMO Air3 AR glasses after the left temple was found to overheat, with 1,643 units sold in the US and 120 in Canada.
US and Canadian regulators announced a recall of the INMO Air3 AR glasses on 27 September, citing an overheating left temple that can cause serious burns, with 1,643 units sold in the US and 120 in Canada.
A University of Texas at Austin study tracked 82 young adults with a wrist-worn activity tracker and a smartphone app over several months. Physical activity lengthened REM latency, the time it takes to enter REM sleep.
Discriminative medical AI models can be tricked into confirming whether a specific patient's records were part of their training data, German researchers report in a Nature paper published on 24 June. On individual patients, the attack succeeded almost every time.
Two separate studies published in 2026 show that medical diagnostic AIs can be tricked into revealing which patients' data trained them, and that leading language models fail at early differential diagnosis in more than 8 out of 10 cases.
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission ordered a recall of the INMO Air3 AR glasses on 27 September, saying the left temple can overheat during extended use and cause severe burns.
Wearables are producing sleep and stress data at a scale labs never could. Two 2024 studies and one 2025 critique show the evidence is only as good as the hardware and the interpretation behind it.
A University of Texas at Austin study published in Nature Scientific Reports used wrist-worn trackers to follow 82 young adults for weeks and months. Physical activity lengthened REM latency. Consumer wearables are moving from fitness gimmicks to research instruments.
Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin tracked sleep and activity in 82 young adults for months, not one night, using consumer wearables. The results, published in Nature Scientific Reports, show that physical activity lengthened REM latency, the time it takes to reach REM sleep.
