ETRI claims historic first in establishing global standard for ‘AI testing'
National Research Council of Science & TechnologyA team of Korean researchers has achieved the feat of establishing a key international standard for verifying the safety and reliability of artificial intelligence (AI) systems. This achievement is the result of over five years of effort, and South Korea has come to lead not only AI technology but also AI norms and reliability verification standards.

Mayo ClinicRice students design realistic training model to improve uterine cancer biopsy access worldwide
Rice UniversityFor an interdisciplinary team of Rice University undergraduates, improving global women’s health started with a pressing question: What does it take to make an essential cancer diagnostic procedure available worldwide? Their answer is AGILE — Accessible Gynecology Innovation & Learning Equipment, a low-cost training model designed to help physicians and health workers learn how to perform uterine biopsies safely and effectively. The device aims to expand access to early uterine cancer diagnosis in low-resource settings where specialized training is often unavailable.
Rice students partner with city of Houston to tackle policy barriers for lifesaving mobile stroke units
Rice UniversityWhen a stroke strikes, time is measured in brain cells. Thousands of neurons can die every minute treatment is delayed — a reality that makes rapid response not just important but lifesaving. At Rice University, students are stepping into that urgency, working at the intersection of medicine, policy and communication. In collaboration with the Houston Health Department, the Rice360 Institute for Global Health Technologies recently hosted a two-part Mobile Stroke Unit (MSU) Advocacy Hack-a-thon, inviting students to help solve one of the most pressing challenges facing this innovative technology: how to sustain it through public funding.
Photon framework scales AI vulnerability discovery
DOE/Oak Ridge National LaboratoryOak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has developed Photon, a scalable framework that uses exascale computing to rapidly identify vulnerabilities in artificial intelligence systems. Created by ORNL’s Center for AI Security Research, Photon enables automated, large-scale testing of AI models to uncover risks such as adversarial attacks and system failures before they can be exploited. By combining high-performance computing with advanced AI techniques, the framework significantly accelerates vulnerability discovery and strengthens the security and reliability of AI used in critical applications.
