Professor Justyna Król-Całkowska: We do not know who is liable for AI errors
One of the challenges of using artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine is the lack of regulation. This can cause a number of problems, says Professor Justyna Król-Całkowska, head of Department of International and European Law at Lazarski University in Warsaw, member of the Council of Experts at the Ombudsman for Patients' Rights.

Researchers at Military University of Technology create tunable metamaterials
Researchers at the Military University of Technology are developing tunable hybrid metamaterials that open up the possibility of designing active microcircuits with the ability to switch, modulate, slow down and accelerate terahertz waves. They can be a platform for building multifunctional photonic devices such as biochemical sensors, absorbers, filters, non-linear switches whose properties can be actively modulated.
