ChatGPT helps save woman's life by predicting her cancer
ALBAWABA – ChatGPT, a form of generative artificial intelligence (AI) that creates humanlike images, text, or videos from user prompts, helped save a woman's life by predicting her cancer in advance.

Lauren Bannon, a mother of two, is grateful to the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot ChatGPT for predicting her cancer in advance.Bannon had been experiencing difficulty moving her fingers both morning and evening for an extended period. After visiting several doctors, she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic condition that causes pain, swelling, and inflammation in the joints.
After some time, Bannon began experiencing severe stomach pain and lost about 7 kilograms (14 pounds) in just one month, which alarmed her even more. Despite her concerns, doctors were not helpful and failed to conduct further tests to investigate her condition.

Bannon decided to consult ChatGPT, listing all the symptoms she had been experiencing. The AI chatbot suggested that she might be suffering from Hashimoto's thyroiditis, also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, an autoimmune disease in which the thyroid gland is gradually destroyed.Following ChatGPT's suggestion, Bannon urged her doctors to conduct further tests. To her surprise, she was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. She then underwent an ultrasound and additional tests, which revealed two small masses in her neck. Ultimately, she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
"I felt let down by doctors. It was almost like they were just trying to give out medication for anything to get you in and out the door. If I hadn't looked on ChatGPT, I would've just taken the rheumatoid arthritis medication and the cancer would've spread from my neck to everywhere else. It saved my life. I would've never discovered this without ChatGPT. All my tests were perfect,' Bannon said. Also Read ChatGPT hits 150M active users after Ghibli release

Google launches Veo 3 on Gemini in the Middle East and North Africa
Google announced today the launch of Veo 3, Google's state-of-the-art video generation model that enables people to bring their creative vision to life through a mesmerising combination of visuals and sound. Veo 3 is now accessible to all Google AI Pro subscribers across the region. With Veo 3 now built into the Gemini app, people can write the scene they want to watch. This description is called a 'prompt' and with it, Veo 3 will whip up a custom eight-second video complete with sound, dialogue and music, at 720p output. Veo 3 was released at Google's annual event for developers, Google I/O, last May. Veo 3 lets users add sound effects, ambient noise, and even dialogue to their creations – generating all audio natively. It also delivers best in class quality, excelling in physics, realism and prompt adherence. The SynthID watermark is embedded in all content generated by Google's generative AI models, including Veo 3. Google recently rolled out SynthID Detector to early testers, and aims to expand access soon. As an additional step to help people identify AI-generated content, a visible watermark will be added to all videos generated by the video model, except for videos generated by Ultra members in Flow, Google's latest tool for AI filmmakers. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba ( Signal PressWire is the world's largest independent Middle East PR distribution service.

Berlin Urges Apple and Google to Remove DeepSeek Over Data Privacy Concerns - Jordan News
Berlin Urges Apple and Google to Remove DeepSeek Over Data Privacy Concerns Germany's top data protection authority has officially requested Apple and Google to remove the AI app DeepSeek from their respective app stores, citing unlawful data transfers to China and potential state surveillance. اضافة اعلان DeepSeek recently soared to become the top free app on the U.S. App Store, overtaking ChatGPT. However, scrutiny quickly followed after it was revealed that DeepSeek's answers are censored when questions may reflect poorly on the Chinese government. Moreover, the app's privacy policy states that user data, including queries and uploaded files, are stored on servers located in China. According to PhoneArena, Chinese intelligence laws allow the government to access these servers, heightening concerns among European regulators. German Data Protection Commissioner Maike Kamp said her office contacted Apple and Google, urging them to delist the app due to 'illegal transfer of personal data outside the EU.' DeepSeek has already been banned from app stores in Italy and South Korea, and removed from government devices in the Netherlands. In Germany, Apple and Google are now reviewing the request but no deadline has been set for a final decision. Regulatory concern intensified after a Reuters investigation alleged that DeepSeek provides support to Chinese military and intelligence operations. Kamp stated that DeepSeek was previously given the chance in May to comply with EU data transfer rules or voluntarily withdraw the app—but the company did not respond. Meanwhile, U.S. lawmakers are preparing legislation to ban government agencies from using AI models developed in China, including DeepSeek. However, the app is still available to the general public via the iOS App Store and Google Play in the U.S. This escalating backlash may set the stage for broader restrictions on AI platforms linked to authoritarian regimes, especially those with opaque data practices and national security implications.

Study Warns: ChatGPT May Rewire Your Brain - Jordan News
Study Warns: ChatGPT May Rewire Your Brain Prolonged use of the popular chatbot ChatGPT may have negative effects on brain function, with a new study warning that it could actually 'rewire' the brain. اضافة اعلان According to Fox News, a recent study conducted by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) found that using ChatGPT to write multiple essays over several months can impair cognitive abilities. The study involved 54 participants divided into three groups: the first used ChatGPT to write various essays for four months, the second relied solely on search engines, and the third depended entirely on their own thinking. At the end of the four months, the ChatGPT group was asked to write an essay without any tools, while the group that relied only on their brains was asked to use ChatGPT for assistance, according to Asharq Al-Awsat. Throughout the study, researchers monitored participants' brain activity using electroencephalography (EEG) to evaluate cognitive engagement and neural activity. Participants also shared their subjective feedback during interviews. The researchers wrote: 'EEG analysis provided strong evidence that the ChatGPT group, the search engine group, and the brain-only group exhibited significantly different neural connectivity patterns.' They added: 'Our results showed a decrease in neural connectivity in the brains of participants who used external tools to help write their essays. The brain-only group demonstrated the strongest neural connectivity, followed by the search engine group, while the ChatGPT group showed the weakest neural engagement.' When the ChatGPT group was asked to write without any tools, they displayed 'weaker neural connectivity,' lower cognitive engagement, and reduced ability to recall information from the essays they had just written. Conversely, the brain-only group, when asked to use ChatGPT, showed 'better recall of information' and greater cognitive engagement. Based on these findings, the researchers suggested a potential decline in learning skills among regular ChatGPT users. The research team noted that they hope to conduct future studies with a larger sample size to validate these results.
