Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence, or AI, is an umbrella term for machine learning and deep learning. It is where a machine takes in information from its surroundings and, from that, makes the most optimal decision appropriate to the situation.

AI in Food: How Artificial Intelligence is Designing Healthier and More Sustainable Foods

Artificial intelligence is transforming food innovation by accelerating ingredient discovery, optimizing formulations, and enabling personalized nutrition strategies to improve public health outcomes. AI-driven tools also support food safety assessment, sustainable food systems, and precision nutrition while raising important governance, equity, and validation challenges.

Using machine learning to scan post-cancer health risks

Artificial intelligence (AI) could help physicians determine if survivors of childhood cancer need extra support - and the more information included in AI prompting, the better its performance. This finding, published today in Communications Medicine by scientists from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, may guide future integration of AI into clinical workflows.

AI eye exams accurately identify heart disease risk during routine visits

A new system that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to assess cardiovascular risk based on images of the eye captured during eye exams demonstrated strong correlation with a standard cardiovascular risk assessment, according to a study presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session (ACC.26).

Culturally tailored food programs significantly lower blood pressure in minority adults

Black and Hispanic adults with high blood pressure (hypertension) who received a culturally tailored food-based intervention with dietitian coaching experienced a significant drop in blood pressure compared with those who received an equivalent amount of fresh produce without additional supports, according to a study presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session (ACC.26).

Study: Autism risk genes are largely consistent across different human ancestries

A new study, co-led by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and published March 30 in Nature Medicine [https://doi.org/ 10.1038/s41591-026-04228-6], demonstrates that genes associated with autism risk are largely the same across people of different ancestries.

AI-based tool matches standard method for coronary blood flow assessment

A novel, minimally invasive computer software-based method that uses artificial intelligence to determine whether plaques in a coronary artery are restricting blood flow to the patient's heart performed similarly to the standard, more invasive wire-based procedure, according to a large international randomized trial presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session (ACC.26).

Higher sugar intake raises gallstone risk in adults, study finds

A cross-sectional NHANES study of 8,975 U.S. adults found that higher total dietary sugar intake was associated with higher odds of gallstones, with each 100 g/day increase linked to a 41% rise after full adjustment. The findings suggest sugar intake may be a modifiable gallstone risk factor, but the study relied on self-reported gallstones and cannot establish causation.
