The best hospitals in Beijing and Shanghai have top-notch doctors, the latest drugs and gleamingequipment. But such places make up only around 10% of China's medical institutions. In the country's 33,000-odd township-level health centres, only half of general practitioners (GPs) even have university degrees. In total China spends around 7% of its GDP on health (for comparison Britain shells out around 11%).知识点：woeful adj. /ˈwəʊfʊl/very bad or disappointing 糟糕的；令人失望的• The school's facilities were woeful compared with others. 与其他学校相比，这里的设施十分糟糕。• His performance in the exam was woeful. 他在考试中的表现令人失望。获取外刊的完整原文以及精讲笔记，请关注微信公众号「早安英文」，回复“外刊”即可。更多有意思的英语干货等着你！【节目介绍】《早安英文-每日外刊精读》，带你精读最新外刊，了解国际最热事件：分析语法结构，拆解长难句，最接地气的翻译，还有重点词汇讲解。所有选题均来自于《经济学人》《纽约时报》《华尔街日报》《华盛顿邮报》《大西洋月刊》《科学杂志》《国家地理》等国际一线外刊。【适合谁听】1、关注时事热点新闻，想要学习最新最潮流英文表达的英文学习者2、任何想通过地道英文提高听、说、读、写能力的英文学习者3、想快速掌握表达，有出国学习和旅游计划的英语爱好者4、参加各类英语考试的应试者（如大学英语四六级、托福雅思、考研等）【你将获得】1、超过1000篇外刊精读课程，拓展丰富语言表达和文化背景2、逐词、逐句精确讲解，系统掌握英语词汇、听力、阅读和语法3、每期内附学习笔记，包含全文注释、长难句解析、疑难语法点等，帮助扫除阅读障碍。

Send us a textKids are meeting chatbots everywhere, from homework helpers to pop‑ups on websites, and many of them think the robot “feels” things. We cut through the hype with a friendly, practical guide that shows how chatbots really work, why they sometimes sound brilliant and sometimes go off the rails, and what families can do to stay curious and safe at the same time.We start by breaking down the core idea: a chatbot predicts the next word using patterns, not feelings or understanding. That simple lens explains why a bot can write a funny pizza joke yet invent a name when asked about your classroom. From there, we shift into digital safety that kids can remember: treat a chatbot like a stranger, never share personal information, and pause the moment a reply feels weird or unkind. Along the way we model the “grown‑up in the loop” rule and show how to fact‑check results so confidence never replaces care.To make it hands‑on, we share a quick kitchen‑table activity that sorts “Safe Questions” and “Not Safe Questions.” On one side, creative prompts like stories, riddles, and science facts. On the other, anything that reveals names, addresses, school details, or phone numbers. We wrap with five simple takeaways that turn into everyday habits: chatbots are not people, they make mistakes, you never share private data, you stop and tell a grown‑up when something feels off, and you can still have fun within clear boundaries.If this helped your family or classroom, subscribe for more parent‑friendly AI tips, share the episode with someone who needs it, and leave a quick review so more caregivers can find these tools. Your support helps more kids stay safe, curious, and creative with AI.Support the showHelp us become the #1 podcast for AI for Kids.

Immer mehr Menschen suchen in psychischen Krisen Hilfe bei ChatGPT. Der Chatbot antwortet rund um die Uhr und kommuniziert wie ein Mensch. Ersetzt die Künstliche Intelligenz bald professionelle Therapien oder nützt sie nur scheinbar? «Puls» zu Chancen und Risiken der digitalen Seelentröster. KI für den Alltag – Hilfe für Florian Der 29-jährige Florian wurde von seiner Mutter seelisch und körperlich misshandelt, kämpft seither mit Depressionen und lebt sehr zurückgezogen. Seine einzige Leidenschaft ist das KI-Generieren von Mangas am heimischen Computer. ChatGPT scheint ihm nun eine neue Perspektive zu bieten: Vom Chatbot erhofft er sich Ratschläge zur Bewältigung seines Alltags. Und er ist gespannt, ob die KI seinen Verdacht bestätigt, autistisch zu sein. KI im Praxistest – Taugt ChatGPT zur Selbsthilfe? Kann eine KI Personen mit psychischen Problemen wirklich helfen? Am Zentrum für Selbsthilfe in Basel nimmt eine Selbsthilfegruppe über mehrere Wochen hinweg ChatGPT in Anspruch: Wann immer jemand das Bedürfnis hat, soll er oder sie sich mit dem Chatbot austauschen. Dabei werden die Gesprächsverläufe mit selbstgemachten Videos dokumentiert. Wie ist die therapeutische Unterstützung durch Algorithmen bei den Versuchspersonen angekommen? KI als Risikofaktor – Wie erkennt der Algorithmus Suizidgedanken? Der Fall sorgte international für Aufsehen: Ein Jugendlicher in den USA hatte sich nach längeren Gesprächen mit ChatGPT das Leben genommen – nachdem er von der KI offenbar in seinen Suizidgedanken bestärkt worden war. Die in der Schweiz entwickelte Therapie-App SONIA soll nun trainiert werden, suizidale Tendenzen besser zu erkennen und im Notfall einen direkten Kontakt zu echten Therapeuten und Therapeutinnen herzustellen. KI mit Potenzial – Die Zukunft der professionellen Psychotherapie? Nicht nur Betroffene nehmen immer öfter virtuelle Therapeuten in Anspruch, auch die professionelle Psychotherapie setzt sich zunehmend mit den Möglichkeiten der KI auseinander. Zum Beispiel die Berliner Charité, wo digitale Avatare realer Experten als empathische, rund um die Uhr verfügbare «Co-Therapeuten» entwickelt werden. Oder das Max-Planck-Institut für Bildungsforschung, wo KI darauf trainiert wird, menschliche Emotionen anhand von Gesichtern und Stimmklang zu erkennen.

On this special episode of the GeekWire Podcast, recorded backstage at the GeekWire Gala at the Showbox Sodo, we sit down with five of the inventors, scientists, and entrepreneurs selected as the Seattle region's 2025 Uncommon Thinkers, in partnership with Greater Seattle Partners. Jeff Thornburg spent years building rocket engines for Elon Musk at SpaceX and Paul Allen at Stratolaunch. Now, as CEO of Portal Space Systems, he's moved past chemical rockets to revive a concept NASA studied decades ago but never pursued — a spacecraft powered by focused sunlight. He calls it a "steam engine for space." Read the profile. Anindya Roy grew up in rural India without electricity, came to the U.S. with two suitcases and $2,000, and earned a spot in the lab of a Nobel Prize winner. Now, as co-founder of Lila Biologics, he's using AI to design proteins from scratch (molecules that have never existed in nature) to treat cancer. Read the profile. Jay Graber runs Bluesky, the decentralized social network that's become a leading alternative to X and other centralized platforms. But while most tech CEOs build moats to lock users in, Jay and the Bluesky team are building a protocol designed to let them leave. She sees the network as a "collective organism," and she's creating a tech foundation meant to outlive her own company. Read the profile. Read the profile. Kiana Ehsani came to Seattle from Iran for her PhD and spent four years at the Allen Institute for AI before becoming CEO of Vercept. She and the Vercept team are competing directly with OpenAI, Google and others in AI agents, building efficient agents that handle mundane digital tasks on computers so humans can spend less time on screens. Read the profile. Brian Pinkard spent six months after college flipping rocks and building trails because he wanted to do work that mattered. That instinct led him to Aquagga, where he's proving that the industry standard of filtering and burying "forever chemicals" is obsolete. Instead, he's using technology originally designed to destroy chemical weapons to annihilate PFAS under extreme heat and pressure. Read the profile. Eagle-eyed readers may have noticed we're missing one honoree — Chet Kittleson, co-founder and CEO of Tin Can, the startup making WiFi-enabled landline phones to help kids connect without screens. Chet wasn't able to join us, but we plan to speak with him on a future episode. With GeekWire co-founder Todd Bishop. Edited by Curt Milton.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Dean Horswell chats with Susan Schneider, as they discuss her book, Artificial You: AI And The Future of Your Mind and the subject of Alien Intelligence and A.I.Dr. Susan Schneider is a philosopher and cognitive scientist whose work focuses on AI consciousness, the simulation hypothesis, and the future of intelligence. Her recent research spans questions such as whether advanced AI systems could be conscious, what it would mean if we live in a computer simulation, how consciousness relates to quantum mechanics, the emerging “epistemology” of AI chatbots, and how we might understand the nature of alien superintelligence.Dr. Schneider is the Founding Director of The Center for the Future of AI, Mind and Society at Florida Atlantic University. Previously, she served as the NASA–Baruch Blumberg Chair in Astrobiology and Technological Innovation at NASA, held the Distinguished Scholar Chair at the Library of Congress, and was a fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton.Her book, Artificial You: AI and the Future of  Your Mind, explores the philosophical implications of artificial intelligence, with a special focus on AI consciousness, mind design, and brain–machine interfaces (BMIs). She argues that the mind is not a ‘program' and that the most intelligent alien life in the cosmos is likely to be superintelligent AI rather than biological beings.Schneider's recent work develops Superpsychism, the view that our spatiotemporal universe may be generated or structured by a massive qubit-based quantum computer, potentially a natural phenomenon rather than an artifact. She recently completed a three-year project with NASA on advanced alien intelligence as AI and serves as an advisor to Prism: the Partnership for Research into Sentient Machines. She is a co-director of the MPCR Lab at FAU's new Gruber Sandbox, a research facility which builds AI systems informed by neuroscience and philosophy of mind. She appears frequently on television shows on stations such as PBS and The History Channel (see below for clips).  She writes opinion pieces for venues such as the New York Times, Scientific American, The Wall Street Journal and The Financial Times.

-AI chatbots haven't come close to replacing teens' social media habits, but they are playing a significant role in their online habits. Nearly one-third of US teens report using AI chatbots daily or more, according to a new report from Pew Research. -It looks like Meta has decided to turn Instagram users into unwitting SEO spam pawns. On Tuesday, 404 Media reported that the platform is generating sensational, likely AI-generated headlines and descriptions for user posts without their knowledge or explicit consent. -Pebble just announced the Index 01, a smart ring for recording thoughts. It's a little ring with a built-in microphone and that's about it. The Index 01 is almost anti-tech in its simplicity. It's available for pre-order now. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on TechTime Radio, a state-backed cyber scheme hiding in plain sight. That's where we start: identity rental, deepfaked interviews, and remote tooling that let North Korean operators slip into real jobs at real companies. We unpack how recruiters lure engineers, what data they demand, and the quiet ways compromised devices become corporate backdoors. Then we get practical—clear verification steps for HR, device attestation, network controls, and a tighter handshake between hiring and security teams.From the office to the bookstore, we shift to the uneasy rise of AI-written titles and the complicated dance between reader demand, author craft, and copyright risk. We talk labels, discovery, and the thin line between helpful tools and hollow literature. Policy heats up as Australia forces a sweeping under-16 social media lockout. We parse the benefits, the whiplash, and the risk of driving teens to unmoderated spaces, and outline smarter safeguards like verified age gates, default privacy, and digital literacy.Then comes the jaw-dropper: researchers discover that stylized poetry can jailbreak safety systems across multiple chatbots. We explore why “style attacks” work, where current guardrails fail, and how to harden models with adversarial training, independent moderation, and server-side checks. Entertainment gets its own tremor as a rumored Netflix–Warner Bros.–HBO deal sparks questions about catalog control, competition, and what it means for your monthly subscriptions. And yes, we leave room for levity: the London velodrome's accidental “sound effect,” a raccoon's ill-fated whiskey tasting, and a cautionary tale of an AI agent that wiped a developer's entire drive without a confirmation.We close with our whiskey finals—WhistlePig PiggyBack Bourbon versus Bakta 1928 Rye—and crown a champion after a tight, flavor-first showdown.

A new report from Stanford and Common Sense Media finds that more than half of U.S. teens use AI chatbots for companionship. But, according to Dr. Darja Djordjevic, an adolescent and adult psychiatrist who co-authored the research, the bots aren't equipped to provide the kind of emotional support young people need when dealing with a mental health issue.Dr. Djordjevic and her team simulated conversations involving various mental health concerns with four of the most popular consumer chatbots and identified several risks; chiefly, their tendency to be sycophantic. A note, this conversation mentions suicide and self-harm.

In this episode of The Digital Marketing Podcast, Daniel Rowles and Ciaran Rogers dive into one of the most significant shifts in digital marketing: the rise of non keyword signals and what it means for search, privacy, and the future of campaign targeting. With AI-powered ad platforms like Google's AI Max and social algorithms driven by behavioural data rather than search intent, the old model of keyword-driven marketing is rapidly giving way to something more opaque, more personalised, and potentially more invasive. Daniel and Ciaran explore how AI systems now use a vast array of signals, from your browsing patterns and email content to your location history and viewing habits, to anticipate what you might want before you even search. But what does this mean for marketers who've spent years honing their SEO and PPC strategies? And what does it mean for user privacy in a world where your chatbot conversations may be fuelling ad targeting? In This Episode: What are non keyword signals? Understand how platforms like Google and Meta are using behaviour, context and historical activity instead of just search terms. Why your impressions are up but clicks are down Learn how AI summaries in Google Search are reducing organic click-throughs, even when your rankings are strong. AI Max campaigns and keywordless targeting Discover how Google Ads is shifting towards AI-led campaigns that rely on intent and engagement signals rather than keyword triggers , and why some brands are seeing 20–30% uplift as a result. What Meta's CMO said about disconnected content Hear how Alex Schultz explained the shift from connected (likes, follows) to disconnected content (Reels, Stories, Shorts), and what that means for social strategy. Privacy concerns and grey areas Explore the implications of Meta's new terms allowing AI chat interactions to inform ad targeting, and whether AI chat data could be inadvertently shared or commercialised. Real-world scenario: Chatbots used for lead capture Daniel raises a powerful example, what if you offered a free AI chatbot to other brands, then harvested user intent data for your own ad targeting? Platform security, data visibility and agent risks From OneDrive access errors to AI agents managing your logins, the hosts discuss the human errors that AI amplifies, and the need for robust security practices. Key Takeaways: We're entering a post-keyword era Platforms are using AI to interpret intent through broader, richer data sources, including chat behaviour, video viewing and app usage. Organic traffic is being cannibalised by AI summaries Even if your visibility improves, actual user clicks may continue to decline. Privacy risks are growing Terms and conditions are changing, and conversations with AI tools may no longer be as private as they seem. Marketing teams must audit how they use AI Understand what data your AI tools are accessing and how that data could be used, now and in the future. Join the conversation This isn't just a podcast - it's an open debate. Daniel and Ciaran want your input, and they're giving away prizes, books and merch to contributors.
