@joanagsa.bsky.social, obrigado por este estado da situação. Andamos a discutir problemas come exames nacionais anacrónicos, em vez do futuro da ciencia e verdadeira inovação em Portugal. Obrigado por este "big picture", que é tão raro ver na discussão nacional. www.publico.pt/2026/07/17/c...

Very honored to speak at Alife later this summer. So excited about it and will likely recontextualize some classical systems science work from Pattee, Rosen, Klir, and Conrad with current-day advances in #networkmedicine, #AI, #complexsystems, and #systemsbiology.

Seven-AI voting system reduces medical hallucinations | ICT&health

Researchers have developed a new verification protocol that significantly reduces the risk of medical hallucinations by combining the outputs of multiple AI models.

icthealth.org

Fun work with Ahmed Abdeen Hamed, Ph.D.. using #AI for network inference for drug repurposing in ER+ breast cancer. I would not say eliminate, but reduce hallucinations... Still, very effective and fast at network inference. #BiomedicalInformatics #networkMedicine www.binghamton.edu/news/story/6...

Researchers develop new way to reduce AI hallucinations - Binghamton News

The protocol asks seven large language model chatbots the same question, then has them ‘vote’ on correct answer.
