Internationally agreed upon recommendations to mitigate risks from AI-based health technology could yield positive results according to researchers. The latest studies on medical advancements which are rooted in AI tec, ca be biased, given patterns that indicate its works for well for specific individuals and not for everyone. The recommendations, published in The Lancet Digital Health journal and New England Journal of Medicine AI, are aimed at improving how datasets -- used to build AI health technologies -- can reduce the risk of potential AI bias. "Data is like a mirror, providing a reflection of reality. And when distorted, data can magnify societal biases. But trying to fix the data to fix the problem is like wiping the mirror to remove a stain on your shirt," lead author Xiaoxuan Liu, an associate professor of AI and Digital Health Technologies at the University of Birmingham, UK, said. "To create lasting change in health equity, we must focus on fixing the source, not just the reflection," Liu said. Recommendations that help in minimizing risks of AI health tech include preparing summaries of dataset and presenting them in plain language, researchers forming the international initiative 'STANDING Together (STANdards for data Diversity, INclusivity and Generalisability)' involving more than 350 experts from 58 countries. Known or expected sources of bias, error, or other factors that affect the dataset should also be identified, the authors said. Further, the performance of an AI health technology should be evaluated and compared between contextualized groups of interest, along with the overall study population. Uncertainties identified in AI performance should be managed through mitigation plans, ensuring the clinical implications of these findings are clearly stated, along with documenting strategies to monitor, manage and reduce these risks while implementing the technology, the authors said. "We hope to raise awareness that no dataset is free of limitations, so transparent communication of data limitations should be perceived as valuable, and absence of this information as a limitation," they said. "We hope that adoption of the STANDING Together recommendations by stakeholders across the AI health technology lifecycle will enable everyone in society to benefit from technologies that are safe and effective," they said.

Denis Poroy-Imagn Images/File Photo After missing out on Juan Soto, the New York Yankees made their first splash of the offseason. The Yankees and left-handed starting pitcher Max Fried have agreed to an eight-year, $218 million contract, several reports said Tuesday. The contract includes the most guaranteed money for a left-handed pitcher in baseball history, ESPN reported. A two-time All-Star, Fried will join right-handed ace Gerrit Cole to form a one-two punch at the front of the Yankees' rotation. Fried, 30, spent his first eight MLB seasons with the Atlanta Braves and went 11-10 with a 3.25 ERA across 29 starts last season. He had 166 strikeouts and a career-high 57 walks over 174 1/3 innings. He also pitched a major league-high two complete games (one shutout). Fried was an All-Star in 2022 and 2024, and he received votes for the National League Cy Young Award in 2020 (placing fifth) and 2022 (second). In 168 career games (151 starts), Fried has gone 73-36 with a 3.07 ERA and 863 strikeouts against 246 walks in 884 1/3 innings. He has tossed six complete games, including four shutouts. --Field Level Media REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

In a half-sane world, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination to head the Department of Health and Human Services would be recognized for what it plainly is -- crazy. With this final nail in the coffin of better Kennedys, I think we can declare the family mystique finis. A starstruck President-elect Donald Trump, meanwhile, must be having the time of his life, mocking and undermining nearly every American government institution by playing Cabinet roulette. With each new name, I can hear the pick say, “No, I’ve never been to medical school, but I slept at a Holiday Inn last night.” Trump must giggle himself to sleep. One can also safely infer that when Kennedy’s own family issues a statement denouncing his political shift, we should pay attention. No, I don’t think the Democratic Kennedys turned their backs on the serial adulterer, conspiracy theorist and anti-vaccine activist only because he hitched his wagon to Trump. More likely, they fear that Trump could empower Kennedy to put into practice some of his loonier ideas. People are also reading... Much of this Kennedy’s history is familiar. He’s a drug addict, possessed of “lust demons” (in his own words) and a journalist -- of a sort. He kept a diary of his sexual exploits with names and ratings from 1 to 10. A 10 meant going all the way, to use the nomenclature of his arrested development. Kennedy was an adult in his second marriage when he started scoring his exploits. (As far as we know.) In the journal, which somehow found its way to the New York Post, he claims to have had affairs with 37 women while married to his second wife, Mary Richardson Kennedy. She reportedly became aware of the journal at some point and, in the midst of the divorce, died by suicide, according to New York Magazine. In just the past year, Kennedy carried on a nine-month sexting relationship with a well-known journalist who was at the time engaged to another journalist. (They’ve parted ways, and both are on job vacation.) But ol’ Kennedy gets a pass because he’s -- I give up. The guy has the face of a baseball mitt, and yet women are tripping over each other trying to be his best girl. Three more women came forward in October claiming romantic involvement with Kennedy, whom they knew through the Children’s Health Defense, an advocacy group he founded to fight, among other things, 5G wireless technology. Kennedy claims that the technology causes cancer, infertility and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, for which there is, indeed, some limited, inconsistent evidence, according to the World Health Organization. He also claims that chemicals in our drinking water are making children gay or transgender, a conspiracy theory advanced by none other than Alex Jones. What must life be like in the brain of this man? No wonder the worm died. Like Trump, Kennedy seems impervious to consequences and shameless in the service of self-preservation. During his divorce from his second wife, he claimed during testimony that a brain worm had left him cognitively deficient, thus crippling his ability to earn money and therefore pay alimony. It must be said that Kennedy has his eye on some targets that are overdue for governmental scrutiny. Factory farming is an abomination. Environmental toxins can never be adequately controlled to my satisfaction. People have reason to question the contents of heavily processed foods. But lawyers and activists who cherry-pick data and traffic in junk science shouldn’t be assigned greater credibility than scientists who subject their research to strict quality standards. Kennedy’s willingness to bend the truth to his purposes should not be rewarded with one of the nation’s most important jobs. His confirmation would be not just bad for the national health. It would also be crazy. Parker writes for The Washington Post.

Murray State beats Loyola Chicago 71-68 for 7th place at the Diamond Head ClassicTouch football in Greenfield has a long, storied history. Greenfield YMCA program director Pete Duffy founded and served as league director for the original Greenfield Recreational Men’s Touch Football League in 1971. The league served as a competitive outlet for players, many coming over from the adult softball circuit, and used a system based on UMass’ intramural touch football team. The field was 80 yards instead of UMass’ 60-yard space, with seven players per side playing 15-minute periods. Duffy asked that each player bring 50 cents “to cover the cost of practice jerseys,” according to a Recorder article from Oct. 1971. Four teams played that initial year — the 49ers, Colts, Redskins and Lions — with team captains Dick Howe, Bob Lively, Bill Martin and Bob Laskowski guiding their squads through the fall and early winter months at Beacon Field and Green River Park. “This will be the only sport in Greenfield to report their games to the Sports Desk with a body count as well as a score,” joked Recorder scribe Denny Wilkins of expected bumps and bruises in his “Sports Notebook” column. The league changed, and sponsors came into the mix by 1973. Teams were sponsored by the likes of Wrisley Funeral Home, Mt. Mohawk Ski Area, Northwestern Mutual and Merrigan Real Estate in the early days. Lou Grader ran the Greenfield Touch Football League for decades, with sponsors like Taylor’s Tavern, Alberti’s Restaurant and Shelburne Falls Bowling Alley coming into the mix. Grader would call the Recorder each week with stats and scores from the weekend’s games. Eventually, Rich Clark took the baton – about 15 years ago, he said. Some 50-plus years removed from the very first pass, the venture continues as the last remaining touch football league in western Massachusetts. Article continues after... Cross|Word Flipart Typeshift SpellTower Really Bad Chess The 2024 season will come to its conclusion on Sunday, when Green River Park hosts the championship game between defending champion Gill CC Woodworking and the Titans at 10:30 a.m. Quarterbacks Pat Viencek and Julio Rivera will sling passes to Cody Underwood and Gio Ortiz, as the top two seeds in the league playoffs battle it out for a title. “It’s been great,” explained Clark of the league’s longevity. “We’ve done everything in our power to make it a family-friendly environment and it’s worked. After games, people stick around, have cookouts... it’s a real community environment.” That community environment enticed Diana Nunez, who went to a game as a spectator for the first time about 10 years ago. Fast forward a decade, and she now helps run two teams sponsored by Namaste Restaurant — the Rockets and the Panthers. Nunez, who runs social media and handles community events for Namaste, said she was hosting an event and found out that a team in the touch league had lost a sponsor. Her son also wanted to start a team in the league, and the restaurant has now sponsored both squads for two seasons. “It’s really such a good community thing that a lot of people don’t know about,” said Nunez. “It’s a great group of people getting together to play football and have a good time.” This year’s league had seven teams, with upward of 100 players participating. Clark said a team from Holyoke joined the mix this fall, and competition is fierce with a number of former college football players on rosters. Teams play 8-on-8 across two 80 yard fields that Clark sets up every Sunday morning — two games played simultaneously. For Clark, a longtime football official and coach, every Sunday is an opportunity to see former players continue to light it up as adults. “So many of the people who we have playing in the league, I coached them when they were 8 years old,” he said. “I really enjoy keeping a league going where these guys can still play.” Despite touch football leagues folding in Holyoke and Springfield in recent years, Clark’s devotion, and the passion he says still resonates from the league’s players, has the Greenfield Touch Football League chugging along. “I always said I’ll stay in the league as long as I’ve got teams that want to play,” he said. “If we’re gonna dwindle down and not have guys show up on Sunday, I might consider passing it off but as long as there are teams and players that want to play, yes, I plan to stay.”
