New Delhi, (IANS): Indians are among the most excited people globally about the expanding role of Artificial intelligence (AI) in everyday life, according to a report on Tuesday.The YouGov survey, based on across 17 markets, showed that Indians (30 per cent) stand out as the most excited about AI’s growth. At least a quarter of respondents in India (27 per cent) also shared an optimistic outlook about AI.In addition, Indians showed the highest engagement potential at 55 per cent, followed by UAE residents (51 per cent) and Indonesians (48 per cent).Further, the survey showed that worldwide just 16 per cent of respondents feel optimistic about AI’s future impact, while 7 per cent say they are excited.Optimism was found strongest in Hong Kong, where 33 per cent expressed positive feelings about AI. UAE residents (21 per cent) are also among the most excited about AI’s growth.On the other hand, the survey revealed that global attitudes toward AI’s expanding role in everyday life over the next decade lean more toward caution than optimism.More than one-fifth of respondents worldwide (22 per cent) describe feeling ‘cautious’ about AI’s rise.But just 13 per cent of respondents in India expressed caution. In comparison, Indonesians (34 per cent), Polish (33 per cent), French (30 per cent), Singaporeans (27 per cent), and Spanish (26 per...

This Wearable Device Monitors Health by Sensing the Gases Passing Through Your Skin

Credit: John A. Rogers / Northwestern University.Your skin is breathing. This wearable gas sensor can measure it.Northwestern University researchers have developed the first wearable device for measuring gases emitted from and absorbed by the skin.By analyzing these gases, the device offers an entirely new way to assess skin health, including monitoring wounds, detecting skin infections, tracking hydration levels, quantifying exposure to harmful environmental chemicals and more.The new technology comprises a collection of sensors that precisely measure changes in temperature, water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO2) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which each give valuable insight into various skin conditions and overall health. These gases flow into a small chamber within the device that hovers above the skin without actually touching it. This no-contact design is particularly useful for gathering information about fragile skin without disturbing delicate tissues.“This device is a natural evolution of our lab’s wearable electronic devices that collect and analyze sweat,” said Northwestern’s John A. Rogers, who co-led the study. “In that case, we were analyzing sweat to learn about the wearer’s overall health. While useful, that method requires pharmacological stimulation of sweat glands or exposure to a hot, humid environment. We...
