Can artificial intelligence endanger the principles of ethical journalism?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the world of news and journalism. However, the question is whether this change represents a revolution or the beginning of a crisis. In Pakistan, one of the prominent voices on this issue, senior journalist Amar Guriro, who heads the country's first AI-based news media platform, believes that the future of journalism will not be in the hands of machines alone. Instead, he says it will be shaped by the shared control and collaboration of humans and machines.

THE CHEAP SEATS from STEVE CAMERON: Just enjoy the World Cup - despite all the stuff behind the scenes

For a soccer junkie watching Arsenal prove to be one of the best club teams on the planet — and finally getting to see my sport gain real popularity here at home — I should be tingling along with one explosion of excitement after another. Unfortunately, soccer is on the edge of being ruined by the alleged crooks who run it. Here we are, prepared to entertain teams from every continent, and the big news is flat-out ugly.

Xeno-monitoring the impact of Vector Control on trypanosome transmission in the Forecariah sleeping sickness focus (Guinea)

Author summary In January 2025, the World Health Organization validated the elimination of gambiense human African trypanosomiasis (gHAT) as a public health problem in Guinea. This goal was achieved through a combination of medical and entomological activities over one decade. This strategy was successively implemented in the three gHAT active foci, first in Boffa in 2012, then in Dubreka in 2016 and in Forecariah in 2018. Here, we present the evaluation results of the first three years (2018–2021) of vector control (VC) in the Forecariah focus. VC consisted in the annual deployment of over 5,000 blue insecticide-impregnated tiny targets, mainly in mangrove areas, which are at high risk of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense transmission through tsetse fly bites. Only 18 months after the initial deployment, the apparent density of tsetse flies (ADT) had decreased by 92%. This ADT drop was associated with a significant reduction of the trypanosome infection rates (from 11.5% to 1.2%) in tsetse midguts over the three years of VC. Prior to VC implementation, at least one infected fly was found in 18 of the 31 sentinel traps, whereas only two were positive after three years of monitoring. A pan-trypanosome PCR, used as a molecular xenomonitoring tool, revealed the predominant presence of T. brucei sl., while T. vivax and T. congolense were detected in few tsetse midguts. During this period, HAT prevalence decreased by 76%, highlighting the effectiveness of this combined strategy.

Development of a deep learning based framework for classification of Indian venomous snakes integrated with explainable artificial intelligence for primary and emergency care providers

Author summary Snakebite is a major public health concern that disproportionally affects the rural population. Delays in identifying whether a snake is venomous often lead to delayed treatment, unnecessary use of antivenom, or inappropriate referrals. In many rural settings, access to expert snake identification is limited. To address this gap, authors have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) based image classification system that distinguishes snakes into two clinically relevant categories: venomous or non-venomous. Unlike many previous studies that focused on ideal, high-quality wildlife images, our model was trained using real-world photographs captured in emergency situations, including images taken by patients and field responders under variable lighting and background conditions. This approach improves the model’s relevance to practical healthcare settings. The system achieved high accuracy and was further strengthened by visual interpretability tools and expert verification to ensure reliability. By combining AI-assisted classification with human oversight, this work provides a scalable decision-support tool that may improve early triage, rational antivenom use, and surveillance in snakebite-endemic regions
