The field of AI is rapidly evolving, with a significant focus on its applications in healthcare and information retrieval. Recent developments have shown great potential in using AI to improve patient outcomes, enhance preventive care, and increase accessibility to healthcare services. The integration of AI in household environments, particularly in the form of proactive autonomous agents, is also becoming increasingly important. In the area of information retrieval, AI-powered patent retrieval systems are being developed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of patent searches. Furthermore, AI-enhanced conversational agents are being explored for personalized health support, and AI telephone surveying is being used to automate quantitative data collection. Noteworthy papers in this area include:
- 'Redefining Elderly Care with Agentic AI: Challenges and Opportunities', which explores the potential of Agentic AI in elderly care,
- 'FullRecall: A Semantic Search-Based Ranking Approach for Maximizing Recall in Patent Retrieval', which introduces a novel patent retrieval approach that achieves 100% recall. These advancements highlight the potential of AI to transform various industries and improve human lives.
