    The provided text is an excerpt from a journal article titled "Beyond human ears: navigating the uncharted risks of AI scribes in clinical practice," published in npj Digital Medicine. This commentary examines the rapid adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) scribes in healthcare, acknowledging their promise to reduce documentation burdens and clinician burnout. However, the authors argue that the pace of deployment is outpacing necessary validation and oversight, posing significant dangers to patient care. The risks discussed include AI hallucinations, critical omissions, speaker attribution errors, and systemic bias against certain patient groups, all of which compromise patient safety and clinical integrity. Finally, the article calls for rigorous validation standards, mandated transparency, and clear regulatory frameworks to ensure the responsible implementation of these technologies.

    The provided text from IEEE Spectrum discusses a critical security flaw, dubbed UniPwn, discovered in Unitree robots, including their Go2, B2, G1, and H1 models. This vulnerability exploits weaknesses in the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Wi-Fi configuration interface, allowing an attacker to gain root-level access and potentially create a wormable botnet where infected robots compromise others wirelessly. Security researchers disclosed the issue after Unitree was unresponsive to responsible disclosure attempts, raising concerns about the company's commitment to robotics security and the broader implications of unsecured robots being deployed globally.
