From social media to AI, online technologies are changing too fast for the scientific infrastructure used to gauge its public health harms, say two leaders in the field.
Cambridge researchers have created a ‘metal detector’ algorithm that can hunt down vulnerable tumours, in a development that could one day revolutionise the treatment of cancer.

AI has the potential to transform health and medicine. It won't be straightforward, but if we get it right, the benefits could be enormous. Andres Floto, Mihaela van der Schaar and Eoin McKinney explain.
Cambridge researchers are looking at ways that AI can transform everything from drug discovery to Alzheimer's diagnoses to GP consultations.
Rebalancing the planet must happen faster. Cambridge researchers are using AI to help.
AI can do in seconds what might take a team of experts a year. This is why we must harness it to reverse the damage we’ve done to the planet. Anil Madhavapeddy explains.
AI will only be as good – or as bad – as the information fed into it, so we need to fix any bias that perpetuates inequality and marginalisation, says Michael Barrett.
AI in education has transformative potential for students, teachers and schools but only if we harness it in the right way – by keeping people at the heart of the technology, says Jill Duffy.
With the right development and application, AI could become a transformative force for good. What's missing in current technologies is human insight, says Anna Korhonen.
