AI is reshaping workplaces, particularly in retail. Researchers explored how AI service quality impacts retail employees’ innovation, job fit, and satisfaction. Findings show when employees perceive AI as reliable and empathetic, they are more likely to engage in innovative behavior. AI’s adaptability also plays a crucial role in enhancing service quality. While reliability strongly supports innovation, transparency and responsiveness had less influence than expected. Empathy in AI systems was found to have a significant positive effect on employee innovation, creating a more engaging work environment. The study underscores AI’s potential to drive service innovation in retail.

Thomas E. Hutson, D.O., Pharm.D., Ph.D., chief of the Hematology Oncology Division in the Department of Internal Medicineat Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) and director of the University Medical Center (UMC) Cancer Center, shared groundbreaking findings from the landmark CLEAR (Clinical trial Comparing Lenvatinib with Ecerolimus or Pembrolizumab in Renal Cell Carcinoma) study. The findings underscore the critical role of tumor size reduction in improving survival outcomes for patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC).

Divorce can take a toll on children’s mental health, but new research from The University of Texas at Arlington reports that its effects may last far longer than expected, potentially increasing the risk of serious health issues decades later. According to findings by social work Associate Professor Philip Baiden recently published in the journal PLoS One, Americans aged 65 and older who experienced their parents divorcing as children were more likely to suffer a stroke compared to their peers—one in nine as compared to one in 15 whose parents did not divorce.
