How Artificial Intelligence Helped Reveal a Hidden Cause of Alzheimer’s A fascinating breakthrough at UC San Diego has shown how artificial intelligence (AI) is not just reshaping technology—it’s reshaping medicine too. Researchers uncovered that a gene called PHGDH, long thought to be just a biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease, actually plays a causal role in triggering […]
XoMotion, The Self-Balancing Exoskeleton That’s Redefining Mobility
A Leap Forward in Assistive Robotics Exoskeleton technology has long held the promise of restoring mobility to individuals with paralysis or severe mobility impairments. However, most existing models require crutches or walkers for stability, limiting the user’s ability to perform everyday tasks independently. Now, a revolutionary development is changing the game: XoMotion, a self-balancing exoskeleton […]
Exploring Disability Justice and Relational AI Ethics, Perspectives from Disabled People
Introduction As artificial intelligence (AI) and automated decision-making (ADM) systems become increasingly integrated into social life, ethical considerations surrounding their use are more crucial than ever. A recent study sheds light on how disabled individuals form ethical judgments about these technologies, highlighting three central themes: embodiment and relationality, recognition, and justice. Key Themes in Ethical […]
