Success Stories: AI and Healthcare - Connected World

Technology like AI (artificial intelligence) is opening new opportunities in healthcare, from analyzing medical images to helping organizations collaborate while keeping sensitive patient information protected. As these technologies continue to advance, researchers are also finding new ways to make sure AI systems are secure, accurate, and reliable.

One example comes from Florida Atlantic University, where researchers in the SPEED Lab are studying the security of AI systems used in healthcare. The recent research examined federated AI, an approach that allows hospitals and other organizations to work together to train AI models without directly sharing sensitive patient data. The research found that while this approach can help protect patient privacy, the AI models themselves can still be vulnerable to cyberattacks.

Here is how this can help advance healthcare technology:

Protect sensitive patient information while allowing healthcare organizations to collaborate on AI research and development.
Strengthen AI security by identifying vulnerabilities before...

Why Python Dictionaries Crash When You Add or Delete Keys While Looping

Here is a situation that is easy to run into: you have a dictionary of scores and one simple job, remove everyone below 50. Four lines of code, nothing fancy. Python answers with this: RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration Try the same pattern on a list and it doesn&
