🩺 High Court: Doctors can never go on strike

The Bombay High Court ruled that doctors cannot resort to strikes under any circumstances to protect patient lives. This decision came after the court took suo motu cognisance of the Indian Medical Association's call for a 24-hour strike on August 6. Although the IMA withdrew the strike, they still oppose the Maharashtra Medical Council's decision to register homeopathic practitioners. The court stressed that patient safety overrides any professional dispute, questioning the logic of such actions. The matter is now listed again on September 8 for further proceedings. 🩺

🔬 AI shouldn't just give answers, it needs to adapt

Research found that over-reliance on AI can lead to worse decisions and loss of expertise in complex human tasks. Computer scientists at Harvard SEAS propose an adaptive AI support system, instead of a one-size-fits-all approach. They developed a reinforcement learning model that dynamically decides how much to help a human user. Online experiments with over 1,000 participants showed this learning model outperformed other AI supports. This research suggests AI design must account for human psychology to truly improve performance. 🧠

🌿 Green roofs slash rooftop heat by 40°F

Scientists found green roofs significantly lower rooftop temperatures by utilizing natural cooling processes. These living roofs, which include layers like waterproofing and growth medium, are being adopted globally to combat rising urban heat. Measurements showed planted roofs were 30-40°F cooler than conventional roofs in sunny weather conditions. The cooling effect comes from vegetation shading and the evaporation of water from the soil. Cities can benefit from this as it lessens the need for internal cooling and supports wildlife.
