- One in seven in UK prefer consulting AI chatbots to seeing doctor, study finds
Exclusive: Doctors say ‘highly concerning’ poll highlights risk to patients of turning to AI for medical advice One in seven people are using AI chatbots for health advice instead of seeing their GP, a UK study has found. The poll of more than 2,000 people found that – of the 15% turning to chatbots – one in four had done so because of long NHS waiting lists. Continue reading...

- Cisco open-sources agentic AI security spec
Cisco has turned over an internally developed specification for agentic AI security evaluation to the GitHub open-source community. The Foundry Security Spec is meant to be used with GitHub’s spec-kit, which is an industry-wide set of development workflows that can be used with different AI agents. The idea is to help customers and the industry create a common framework for evaluating and governing AI agents used in cybersecurity, according to Anthony Grieco , senior vice president and chief security officer at Cisco. “I’ve said this for many years: Cybersecurity is a team sport,” Grieco said in a prerecorded video about the news. “We’ve all got to come together and work together for a better collective defense. This is one really demonstrable way where we’re trying to raise the bar for everybody and share our knowledge, through this. And so giving folks access to this felt really important.” While frontier models identify vulnerabilities at machine-speed, most security teams haven’t b

Before an organization launches any AI initiative, considering how disruptive it can be, it’s essential to prioritize governance, as well as make sure sufficient training and change management strategies are implemented. “I think it’s a combination of having all these things in place, otherwise it creates fear and anxiety,” says Aditya Bhasin, Stanford Healthcare’s VP of software design and development. “Otherwise, how do you overcome these things and get the organization to the place it needs to go?” So with this structure firmly in place, the Bay Area’s Stanford Healthcare, which runs about 300 facilities including two full service hospitals, has rolled out an AI solution that was initially conceived to mitigate overwhelmed clinicians by, for instance, automating draft responses for patients inquiring about billing. The project started with 10 billing reps and saved 17 hours by handling 1,000 messages using 25 smart templates. Now enterprise-wide with 60% utilization, the AI also dra

As large language models become more capable, users are tempted to delegate knowledge tasks where models process documents on their behalf and provide the finished results. But how far can you trust the model to stay faithful to the content of your documents when it has to iterate over them across multiple rounds? A new study by researchers at Microsoft shows that large language models silently corrupt documents that they work on by introducing errors. The researchers developed a benchmark that simulates multi-step autonomous workflows across 52 professional domains, using a method that automatically measures how much content degrades over time. Their findings show that even top-tier frontier models corrupt an average of 25% of document content by the end of these workflows. And providing models with agentic tools or realistic distractor documents actually worsens their performance. This serves as a warning that while there is increasing pressure to automate knowledge work, current lan
