    Companies Rehire Laid-Off Employees Due to AI Limitations

    Several companies, including those in finance, marketing, legal, and healthcare sectors, are rehiring employees previously laid off due to AI implementation. The 'AI boomerang' phenomenon is attributed to AI's need for more human control than expected, its inability to recognize emotions, exhibit critical thinking, and display creativity.

    China Pioneers Ultrasound Therapy for Brain Injury Patients

    Researchers in China have developed a non-invasive method using focused ultrasound to stimulate deep brain regions and restore consciousness in patients with chronic brain injuries. In a preliminary study, 13 out of 24 patients showed measurable behavioral improvements, with one patient regaining the ability to speak, eat, and walk with support after 30 days of therapy. The treatment protocol involves three sessions per week, lasting 20 minutes each, over four weeks, targeting the thalamus via MRI-guided focused ultrasound.
