Coming soon to a doctor near you? (Are medical hallucinations really unexpected?)
Doctors’ AI scribes get names of drugs and diagnoses wrong, NHS watchdog warns
AI technology that listens to and transcribes patients’ consultations with doctors can put them at risk by getting the names of drugs and illnesses wrong, an NHS watchdog has warned.
In one case a woman was left badly shaken when the AI scribe’s summary of her conversation wrongly said she had demyelination – serious nerve damage that can lead to multiple sclerosis.
It was only when the patient, an NHS health professional, queried the AI tool’s record of the result of her MRI scan that the hospital corrected it to what it should have been – “null demyelination”.
I guess I’m more willing to call it war than most politicians.

Russia’s ‘hybrid war’ on Europe is starting to look a lot less hybrid
Drones and explosives found in Germany linked to a suspected attack on Leipzig airport. A naval drone shot down near a gas platform in the Black Sea. An assassination plot targeting a European defense executive.
Russia’s campaign against Europe looks increasingly brazen. Yet EU leaders remain reluctant to call it what a growing number of security officials say it increasingly resembles: war. Instead, they reach for a softer phrase — “hybrid war” — that allows the EU and NATO to avoid a military response.
That language is coming under growing criticism as Moscow steps up sabotage, cyberattacks and other operations across Europe. Security experts, diplomats and defense officials who spoke to POLITICO say the “hybrid” label risks understating the severity of the threat — and obscuring just how far the confrontation with Russia has already escalated.
Who are we talking to?

A power struggle in Iran could decide when Trump’s war ends
… On one side stand pragmatists and technocrats led by President Masoud Pezeshkian, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
They back a conclusive agreement, pointing to a war-battered economy, an exhausting US naval blockade and damage to the nation’s infrastructure.
… On the other side stand hardline conservatives. Their ideology centers around a distrust of a Washington they see as hell-bent on destroying the Islamic Republic. For more than half a century they’ve warned against US intentions, and now they stand vindicated against their moderate opponents by Trump’s war.
… Mojtaba Khamenei has remained quiet amid the divide. It appears that he understands that choosing a side on negotiations with an unreliable Trump could harm his office just as he is working to secure legitimacy.
