“Profound risks to society and humanity” – these words, included in the opening sentence of an open letter from technology leaders warning of the potential negative impacts of giant artificial intelligence (AI) experiments, represent a growing concern about rapid AI adoption in society.

These worries match Americans’ attitudes toward AI. According to a recent Stevens TechPulse Report, 10% of adults are pessimistic about AI’s capabilities as a source of societal good.

Financial barriers that hinder the economic empowerment of Hispanic communities include language barriers, cultural differences and attitudes toward money. These factors can impact financial decision-making. Additionally, there may be a lack of trust in financial institutions stemming from historical experiences.5 Addressing these hurdles is crucial for promoting economic prosperity within the Hispanic community.

For National Hispanic Heritage Month, we're celebrating the contributions of Hispanic and Latinx Americans in the financial space. And we're empowering others in the Hispanic community to pursue avenues of financial independence and security. As a strategy for financial empowerment, get the scoop about mortgage scams targeting Hispanic communities, including how to spot and avoid them.

The homeownership rates for Hispanic families rose slightly in the last decade. As of 2022, the Hispanic hom...

For every 31 patients receiving care at hospitals, one gets a healthcare-associated infection (HAI), according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Common causes of HAIs include bacteria and viruses, which can travel from one person to another in healthcare facilities or can be transferred to a patient from the hospital environment itself. A significant fraction of HAIs involves tissue-contacting biomedical devices such as hip or knee replacements, catheters, and pacemakers, among many others.

Recycled-origin material appears to remove dangerous PFAS substances, a growing problem in New Jersey's drinking water

A novel, Stevens-innovated filter medium made from recycled water treatment by-products may offer protection against harmful and persistent chemicals seeping into the region's and nation's drinking water.

That's the conclusion of new Stevens research published in the Journal of Hazardous Materials Letters.

Biomedical engineering Ph.D. student Mary Stack’s research could help improve healing for individuals with diabetic foot ulcers
Stevens Institute of Technology biomedical engineering doctoral graduate Mary Stack recently received the 2022 Young Innovator Award in Tissue Regeneration and Limb Preservation for her skin tissue engineering research.

Local K-12 students explore the technology and science behind biomechanics in four experiential learning sessions
To what extent are the muscle movements of a college athlete and a grandparent the same? How are they different? What does the brain do when someone is going out for a brisk walk or running a marathon? We can see muscle activity digitally captured through computer interfaces, but can we hear it too?
Eighty-two local students, grades seven thro...

Student groups researching different aspects of resilient infrastructure systems in the maritime domain last summer took the top three spots at the 11th Annual Maritime Risk Symposium. The event was hosted virtually in October 2020 by the Critical Infrastructure Resilience Institute (CIRI), a Department of Homeland Security Center of Excellence, and the National Academy of Sciences.

Virtually every business across industry verticals — banking and finance, manufacturing, retail, consumer packaged goods, logistics, energy resources, utilities, and life sciences — needs to undergo digital transformation.
But not every business senses how changes in digital technology, such as cloud and artificial intelligence (AI), the evolution of consumerism, and disruptions caused by the pandemic, are creating make-or-break opportunities in the global business climate.
Take for example b...

Organizations today are transitioning their SAP workloads to the cloud to achieve greater flexibility and scalability. Benefits of this move include increased efficiency, improved productivity beyond the initial transition, and the ability to deploy applications more rapidly than on-premise infrastructure supports.
While the underlying thread that enables successful cloud adoption is technology, digital transformation requires cooperation between leaders across business and technology functio...

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one out of every ten infants born in the U.S. in 2019 were preterm babies, which means they were born before 37 weeks of pregnancy. Premature birth puts these infants at greater risk of disability, including hearing loss derived from noisy neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).
Stevens undergraduate biomedical engineering students Jake Fiore and Sophia Makepeace participated in a summer research project to develop a solution that ma...
