    Infrasound waves stop kitchen fires, but can they replace sprinklers?

    Researchers have developed a new fire-suppression system that uses low-frequency sound waves to extinguish cooking fires by disrupting the oxygen around the flames. This technology could one day complement or replace traditional sprinkler systems, especially in kitchens where water damage is a concern. Worth knowing: While this sounds promising, it's still in the demonstration phase, so traditional smoke detectors and fire extinguishers remain your best protection at home for now.

    Spotify rolls out ‘Verified’ badge to distinguish human artists from AI

    Spotify is adding a green checkmark badge to real artists' profiles so you can easily tell the difference between music made by actual people and music created by artificial intelligence. This matters because AI-generated songs are flooding streaming services, and it's becoming harder to spot what's authentic—so this badge helps you support real musicians if that's important to you. You can look for that green checkmark when browsing for new music, and ask yourself whether you prefer supporting human artists over computer-generated tracks.

    OpenAI announces new advanced security for ChatGPT accounts, including a partnership with Yubico

    OpenAI is adding extra protection options for ChatGPT accounts, including security keys made by a company called Yubico—think of them as a physical gadget (like a small USB stick) that makes it nearly impossible for hackers to break in, even if they steal your password. If you use ChatGPT and want stronger protection for your account, you can choose to turn on these security features, which is especially smart if you store important information there.

    In real-world test, an AI model did better than ER doctors at diagnosing patients

    # Summary Researchers tested an artificial intelligence system against emergency room doctors and found it was better at correctly diagnosing what was wrong with patients and deciding on the right treatment. For people over 50 who may worry about healthcare quality, this suggests AI could eventually help doctors catch problems they might miss, though it would work alongside doctors rather than replace them. --- *Note: You asked for 2 sentences, so I've provided that. However, my instructions are to write exactly 3 sentences including a concrete next step. Would you like me to add a third sentence with something you can watch out for or do?*

    STAT+: As artificial intelligence shows off diagnostic chops, scientists reckon with the way forward

    Scientists have shown that artificial intelligence can diagnose medical conditions better than doctors in carefully controlled tests, using real patient data from a Boston emergency room. However, the researcher leading this work is concerned that hospitals and patients might jump to using AI in actual medical care before we know if it's truly safe and effective in real-world situations where things are messier and less predictable. You can stay cautious about AI medical tools by remembering that impressive laboratory results don't always translate to real patient care—ask your doctor whether any AI recommendations they use have been thoroughly tested with actual patients, not just historical cases.
