Medication non‑adherence remains one of health care’s most persistent and expensive challenges. Across chronic conditions, only about half of patients take medications as prescribed, even when effective treatments are available. The consequences are significant: disease progression, avoidable hospitalizations, increased mortality, and hundreds of billions of dollars in preventable health care [...] The post From predicting risk to changing behavior: Rethinking medication adherence with agentic AI appeared first on SAS Blogs.

Chris Larsen, who hails from California, plans to spend $3.5 million to help Alex Bores, a New York congressional candidate at the center of a proxy war over A.I. regulation.
In a federal courtroom in California on Thursday, Elon Musk testified that his own AI startup, xAI, has used OpenAI's models to improve its own. The matter at question is model distillation, a common industry practice by which one larger AI model acts as a "teacher" of sorts to pass on knowledge to a smaller AI model, the "student." Although it's often used legitimately within companies using one of their own AI models to train another, it's also a practice that's sometimes used by smaller AI labs to try to get their models to mimic the performance of a larger competitor's model. Asked on the stand whether he knew what model distillation … Read the full story at The Verge.
