AI models – for example, those used for cancer detection – are trained on patients’ health data. Even the mere fact that personal data has been incorporated into a model can have negative consequences for those affected if this information falls into the wrong hands. In “Nature”, a research team now shows that, using the right methods, this sensitive information can be extracted from models far more effectively than previously thought.

AI reveals critical gaps and hidden opportunities in global climate pledges. A new Nature Communications study led by CMCC researcher Francesca Larosa shows how national climate plans often overlook key development priorities, but also uncovers strong synergies that could simultaneously advance climate action and sustainable development.

A new study led by researchers at Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute, with researchers from Boston University and Boston Medical Center, shows that a telehealth navigator program can significantly improve blood pressure control among Black patients with hypertension cared for at federally qualified health centers (FQHCs).

A new study shows that if data centers move a significant portion of their energy consumption to non-peak hours, it could help lower average energy costs in the U.S. The environmental impact of these changes, in terms of the type of energy consumed, would differ by region.
