We can’t help treating AI like it’s human. But should we?

TechCrunch explores why people treat robots and chatbots as human and the risks of emotional reliance on AI.

TechCrunch describes an MIT CSAIL visit where Unitree humanoid robots, said to cost about $50,000, drew polite, person-like treatment. At the launch of Sherry Turkle's book Artificial Intimacy, researchers said people readily treat chatbots as caring partners, citing a study that about 70% of people are polite to AI. MIT Media Lab researcher Pat Pataranutaporn, who advised on a Character.AI wrongful-death lawsuit involving a 14-year-old, warned emotionally compliant bots can displace human relationships outside narrow uses such as interview coaching.

FleXray: Universal Clinical X-ray Segmentation

MIT CSAIL releases FleXray, a model that segments 60 anatomical structures in clinical X-rays.

FleXray is a generalist model for anatomical segmentation across the body in clinical X-rays, trained without large manually labeled X-ray sets. A physics-based engine uses existing 3D whole-body CT segmentations and generative image editing to simulate fully annotated 2D X-rays with varied appearance, physiology, and geometry. Trained on those simulations, it segments 60 anatomical structures on unseen research datasets and real-world X-rays. The authors release the model, code, a full-body segmentation dataset, and a local browser tool.
