AI can guess racial categories from heart scans – what it means and why it matters

UK: How “AI” Imports “Racism” into Medical Heart Scans! (10.1.2026)

In the heart scan study, researchers found that the AI model wasn’t actually focusing on the heart itself, where there were few visible differences linked to racial categories. Instead, it drew information from areas outside the heart, such as subcutaneous fat as well as image artefacts – unwanted distortions like motion blur, noise, or compression that can degrade image quality. These artefacts often come from the scanner and can influence how the AI interprets the scan.

Brain-Matter Interface!

China: Socialist Science Breaks Brain-Computer-Matter Interface! (24.12.2025)

A patient suffering from tetraplegia steered a smart wheelchair through the neighbourhood with only his thoughts and directed a robotic dog to fetch a food delivery. These scenes were achieved during a recent clinical trial of a brain-computer interface conducted by a team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

This shattered the conventional boundaries of rehabilitation, carrying the brain’s command from a two-dimensional cursor on a screen into full-bodied, three-dimensional interaction with the physical world.

Brain-computer interfaces are designed to create a direct communication channel between the brain and external devices. Around the world, research groups have already demonstrated the laboratory feats, including “mind typing” and robotic-arm control. The enduring challenge is to make those systems reliable enough to vanish into a patient’s daily life.

Industrial Action – Soldiers and Midwives Are Workers! (12.11.2022)

That is – to STRIKE for US! The NHS is collapsing due to the privatisation drives and cuts in funding and services! People are dying due to the Tory cuts and action has to be taken! The Bourgeois Union for Nursing usually colludes with the Establishment – but no longer! The Nurses are joining the Midwives (a traditionally ‘Leftwing’ Union) in taking Industrial Action! Gee’s ballot papers arrived this morning and we are proud of her decision to Strike! Long Live the Workers! Long Live the NHS! Long Live Socialist Medicine!
