  • MIL-OSI Submissions: 3 ways Canadians can take control of their finances in an age of economic uncertainty

    Source: The Conversation – Canada – By Omar H. Fares, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Business, University of New Brunswick

    Canadian consumers are beginning to move from short-term economic concerns to a more persistent mindset of financial precarity, and it’s starting to affect how they live.

    People are delaying major purchases and starting to show signs of subscription fatigue, according to recent findings. One recent survey found that 70 per cent of Canadians are deferring major life decisions, including home ownership and family planning, as a consequence of this sustained economic uncertainty.

    This anxiety is now reflected in broader sentiment. The Bank of Canada’s latest Consumer Expectations Survey found a sharp rise in economic pessimism. About two-thirds of Canadians now anticipate a recession within the year, up from 47 per cent in late 2024.

    Concerns about job security, debt repayment and access to credit are also mounting. For the first time since early 2024, more consumers report cutting back on spending. Home-buying intentions are declining, especially among those expecting a downturn, and an increasing share of mortgage holders plan to reduce expenses ahead of higher renewal payments.

    Consumers are no longer just reacting to inflation or interest rates, but adjusting to the idea that financial uncertainty may be here to stay.

    Why today’s economic anxiety feels different

    While the link between economic uncertainty and reduced spending is well established, what makes today’s situation different is the convergence of multiple pressures facing consumers.

    This includes a challenging job market — particularly for younger Canadians — concerns about the disruptive effects of AI-driven automation, the threat of tariffs from the United States, ongoing global conflicts and the growing cost of living.

    With economic uncertainty now a defining feature of everyday life for many Canadians, the sense of financial precarity is shaping how people think, plan and spend.

    Addressing this new reality will require equipping ourselves with tools and mental habits that can help develop financial stability, even in unpredictable times. Here are three research-backed ways to do this.

    A Global News segment about how half of Canadians are living bill-to-bill.

    1. Budget based on values

    With many people feeling the pinch or uncertainty around money, a more deliberate, values-based approach to personal finance is needed beyond traditional budgeting methods. If you’re looking for more control over your finances, it can help to shift your focus from just tracking where your money goes to making sure it goes where you actually want it to.

    Research in consumer behaviour supports this shift in mindset. Mental accounting, introduced by economist Richard Thaler, explains how people naturally divide their money into mental categories like stability, family or learning. Budgeting then becomes less about cutting back and more about making intentional choices.

    Studies have found that pairing this kind of values-based budgeting with simple practices, such as setting clear goals and automating transfers, can lead to lower spending and more consistent long-term behaviour. The goal is not to manage every dollar perfectly, but to make sure your money aligns with what matters most to you.

    Since values tend to guide sustainable decision-making, a practical starting point is to identify three to five core values, such as financial security, personal development or time with family. Next, review your recent transactions and group them by the value they support. This reframes budgeting as a way to assess whether your current spending aligns with what you consider most important.

    From there, assign a reasonable monthly amount to each category based on your income and fixed obligations. You don’t need to track every detail, but having value-based benchmarks will improve day-to-day choices.

    Renaming categories in your budgeting app or spreadsheet is another important approach. For example, changing “discretionary” to “family time” or “well-being” can reinforce the link between spending and values. Set up automated transfers that reflect your goals; this might include creating a savings buffer, funding education or contributing to a low-risk investment account. Automation helps reduce decision fatigue and supports consistency.

    2. Use pessimism to your advantage

    While recognizing economic risks is entirely rational, how people respond to that risk makes a significant difference. Psychologists have studied a mindset known as “defensive pessimism,” a strategy that involves anticipating potential problems in order to plan effectively, rather than being overwhelmed by uncertainty.

    Unlike chronic anxiety or fear, which can impair decision-making and lead to poorer financial and consumption choices, defensive pessimism encourages people to take a more measured, thoughtful approach. It combines realism with preparation and helps individuals stay focused and responsive in uncertain conditions.

    People are more resilient when they focus on what can be changed. In practical terms, this might include learning a new skill, starting a side project or strengthening personal or professional networks.

    To apply defensive pessimism, start by clearly identifying what could go wrong, then outline specific actions to address those possibilities. Break big tasks into smaller, manageable steps, create a backup plan and regularly reassess progress. This approach helps maintain focus, reduce surprises and turn worry into preparation.

    These small, proactive steps with detailed personal reflection can offer a sense of agency that counters feelings of helplessness. Rather than ignoring challenges, defensive pessimism coupled with consistent reflection is about figuring out how to work around them.

    3. Adopt a long-term outlook

    Despite ongoing uncertainty, maintaining a long-term financial perspective remains very important. Research consistently shows that people who engage in long-term planning tend to accumulate greater wealth over time.

    Long-term planning involves continuing to plan for future goals such as retirement or education, even when timelines need to shift due to changing circumstances.

    One of the greatest challenges with this approach is known as the “sour grape effect.” This refers to the tendency people have to downplay a future goal or reward after experiencing early setbacks or failures.

    A 2020 study with 1,304 participants in Norway and the U.S. found that setbacks can lead individuals to disengage from their goals. Participants were given either positive or negative feedback on an initial task and then asked to predict how much happiness they would feel if they succeeded in a later round.

    Those who experienced failure anticipated much less happiness from future success. When everyone actually did succeed, their levels of happiness were the same regardless of initial feedback. Setbacks can lead people to devalue their goals as a self-protective strategy. However, participants with high achievement motivation did not show this bias.

    In other words, when short-term disappointments are interpreted as failure, there is a risk that people may give up on long-term plans altogether. In these moments, the most effective course of action is staying consistent and committed, while still remaining agile enough to adapt as needed.

  • MIL-OSI: XRP breaks through $3, GoldenMining launches XRP income portfolio

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    New York, USA, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — With the recent implementation of the Crypto Act, XRP prices have broken through a high of $3. Investors are facing a critical moment: should they continue to hold positions, reduce positions, or adopt a more strategic strategy? In this environment, GoldenMining, a cloud mining company headquartered in London, UK, offers an attractive solution: combining XRP’s upside potential with stable cloud mining income.

    From single holding to income: XRP with cloud mining, double returns

    Although XRP has super fast transaction speeds (3-5 seconds to account) and extremely low fees (less than 1 cent), investors holding coins waiting for appreciation are still accompanied by high market volatility and policy uncertainty. . The launch of GoldenMining cloud mining contracts provides investors with a profit model that does not rely on the rise and fall of the secondary market, especially for investors who want to enjoy the gains of XRP appreciation while controlling the risk of retracement. For more information, please visit the official website (Goldenmining.com)

    XRP holdings: Using dollar cost averaging (DCA) to buy in batches, allocating about 30% of the portfolio to XRP can capture potential price increases and reduce the risk of a one-time purchase.

    Cloud mining income: 70% of the funds are invested in GoldenMining cloud mining contracts. The contract automatically settles income every day, is not affected by market fluctuations, and provides a continuous and stable cash flow for the entire investment portfolio.
    A GoldenMining spokesperson said: “The meaning of our existence is to help every user realize income!

    How to buy contracts to avoid market fluctuations

    Register an account and get a $15 reward immediately to understand the profit model faster

    Buy a contract now and activate the mining machine in the cloud until income is generated

    Flexible contract period, investors can choose 5 days, 12 days, 25 days or longer contracts according to their needs. The longer the period, the higher the income.

    Investor Contract Reference

    contract Investment Amount Contract Rewards Total income
    New User Experience $15 $0.60 $15.60
    Elphapex DG1+ $100 $3 $106
    Bitmain S23 Hyd $650 $42.25 $692.25
    AntminerL917GH $1800   $287.28 $2087.28
    L916GH $4500  $1890 $6390
    ElphaPex DG Hydro1 $7800 $3276 $11076
    Elphapex DG2 $12,000 $8,100.00 $20,100.00

    Compliance guarantee, zero threshold experience

    GoldenMining supports mining of multiple currencies such as BTC, ETH, LTC, BCH, etc. When XRP transactions are active, the mining currency can be automatically switched to obtain higher returns.

    User funds are safely stored in a first-tier bank, and all user personal information is protected by SSL encryption. The platform provides insurance for each investment, which is underwritten by AIG Insurance Company to ensure the safety of user funds.

    The platform supports direct recharge of XRP, which greatly improves the efficiency of fund use. The platform automatically settles mining income every day without the assistance of technicians.No background or additional operations are required, creating a low-threshold, highly transparent cryptocurrency investment environment for users.

    In summary, GoldenMining provides investors with an innovative investment strategy that has both growth potential and stable cash flow by combining XRP holdings with cloud mining income. Although the crypto market is full of uncertainty, the concept of diversified investment and risk hedging can help investors better cope with fluctuations. In the future, as blockchain technology and the regulatory environment gradually improve, GoldenMining’s investment model may play an important role in the field of crypto assets.

    3. Adopt a long-term outlook

    Despite ongoing uncertainty, maintaining a long-term financial perspective remains very important. Research consistently shows that people who engage in long-term planning tend to accumulate greater wealth over time.

    Long-term planning involves continuing to plan for future goals such as retirement or education, even when timelines need to shift due to changing circumstances.

    One of the greatest challenges with this approach is known as the “sour grape effect.” This refers to the tendency people have to downplay a future goal or reward after experiencing early setbacks or failures.

    A 2020 study with 1,304 participants in Norway and the U.S. found that setbacks can lead individuals to disengage from their goals. Participants were given either positive or negative feedback on an initial task and then asked to predict how much happiness they would feel if they succeeded in a later round.

    Those who experienced failure anticipated much less happiness from future success. When everyone actually did succeed, their levels of happiness were the same regardless of initial feedback. Setbacks can lead people to devalue their goals as a self-protective strategy. However, participants with high achievement motivation did not show this bias.

    In other words, when short-term disappointments are interpreted as failure, there is a risk that people may give up on long-term plans altogether. In these moments, the most effective course of action is staying consistent and committed, while still remaining agile enough to adapt as needed.

  • MIL-OSI Banking: MCAPS Start for Partners: Accelerating growth and innovation together

    Source: Microsoft

    Headline: MCAPS Start for Partners: Accelerating growth and innovation together

    Earlier this year, Microsoft celebrated its 50th anniversary, a journey powered by our partners from day one. As we begin the new fiscal year, I want to express my deepest gratitude for your bold innovation, trusted collaboration, and customer obsession. FY25 was one of the most transformative years in our history, and you made it possible.

    At MCAPS Start for Partners, we outlined the next chapter of opportunity powered by AI: customizable agents, copilots, and a new class of AI-first organizations we call Frontier Firms. These are next-generation organizations that blend AI-powered solutions with human leadership to operate with agility, scale, and value creation. These firms are not just adopting AI; they are redesigning their business models, workflows, and cultures around it. 
     

    FY26 priorities and solution areas

    As we look ahead to FY26, our focus is on translating this AI-powered vision into actionable priorities for our partners. To do this, we have made the decision to evolve our go-to-market approach around three solution areas, a strategic shift grounded in what customers are asking for and what’s resonating most in the market. 
     

     
     

    • AI Business Solutions: Scale Copilot across every device and role and drive strong execution in Microsoft 365 and Dynamics 365.
    • Cloud & AI Platforms: Lead with Frontier AI innovations and accelerate cloud migrations and modernization.
    • Security: Strengthen and secure the cyber foundation.

    These solution areas are designed to mirror how customers think about their business challenges, making it easier for Microsoft and our partners to align solutions to those needs. They also provide a scalable, repeatable framework for how we engage across industries, segments, and geographies, enabling more consistent execution and deeper impact.

    As a partner-first company, our partner ecosystem is an extension of our sales organization, and this alignment deepens our unified approach to engaging customers. 
     

    Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program

    The Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program continues to be the primary way we engage and invest in our partner ecosystem. The program brings everything together across the whole of the partner lifecycle, including onboarding, skilling, go-to-market, co-selling, and incentives.

    Our commitment is to make the AI Cloud Partner Program a home for all partner types and to be agile to keep up with the innovation we are bringing to market, as well as customer demand. FY26 represents another record year of investment in the program, supporting partners with market-leading capability across their journey. 
     

    Expanded program benefits

    The program is designed to deliver value across every stage of the partner journey, offering targeted benefits that support growth and innovation.

    For software development companies, key offerings include access to the Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub, which enables partners to build, publish, and scale well-architected software solutions.

    To further support software partners, Microsoft is increasing Azure credits for those participating in Marketplace Rewards or who hold certified software designations. These benefits unlock valuable resources such as technical consultations, access to AI Foundry, GitHub and GitHub Copilot, exam vouchers, and additional rewards tied to marketplace performance.

    For services partners, we are expanding our benefits offerings by including the latest Microsoft products, increasing Copilot seats, and introducing tools like Copilot Studio, Dragon Copilot, and Microsoft 365 E5 Security. Based on partner feedback, the company is also enhancing benefit delivery through Modern Benefit Provisioning in Partner Center.

    In FY26, partners will also gain more flexibility by being able to combine or split their benefit packages across multiple tenants, enabling them to support operations in various global locations. 
     

    Skilling for the future and becoming customer zero

    Capability is the new currency. Skilling is one of the most important steps partners can take to earn designations, build trust, and accelerate differentiation. And becoming their own customer zero by using Microsoft AI solutions within their organization is what separates partners who lead from those who follow. With fast-moving tech cycles, staying skilled and hands-on is no longer optional; it is essential.

    In FY25, over three million learners upskilled across the Microsoft solution areas, with half of them in AI, Copilot, and Fabric. In FY26, we are expanding this momentum with additional opportunities:

    • Agentic AI skilling: hands-on technical training to skill partners to design and deploy intelligent agent solutions using Copilot Studio and Azure AI Foundry.
    • Hackathon-based training: enabling partners to build IP, earn certifications, and deliver revenue-generating AI engagements.
    • Regional in-person workshops and AI roadshows: providing immersive, peer-based skilling experiences.
    • CSP certification weeks and a Skilling in a Box initiative for distributors, scaling pre-sales and sales skilling to thousands of resellers.

    We encourage every partner to become customer zero and use the very tools they bring to market. This builds credibility, deepens insight, and increases their ability to guide customers through transformation. When their teams are hands-on with AI, the customer experience improves.

    Skilling is the engine behind that impact, and we are here to support partners every step of the way. Learn more about current skilling opportunities. 
     

    Unlocking growth through designations

    Designations and specializations remain key to how we showcase partner capabilities both to customers and internally across Microsoft’s field organization. In FY26, we are launching several new recognitions, including a Copilot specialization (launching this month), a Distributor designation, a Support designation, and a Sovereign Cloud specialization.

    In the second half of FY26, we will introduce two new device-driven designations in the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program. These are focused on unlocking commercial Windows growth, especially in SMB.

    • One designation recognizes OEM partners building modern, hybrid-ready Windows devices.
    • The second is for partners selling and deploying Windows Commercial devices, including Copilot+ PCs, with value across the full deployment lifecycle.

    These designations are focused on supporting the Windows 10 refresh cycle, accelerating Microsoft 365 adoption, and building trusted relationships through secure, AI-ready devices.

    We have also expanded SMB pathways for Security and Azure designations, with nearly 9,000 partners already achieving designations through these new routes. 
     

    Incentives to fuel growth

    We are also significantly increasing our investment across the business:

    • Enterprise Customer Investment Funds will grow ~20% year over year (YOY), enabling partners to deliver more AI design wins, migrations, and Copilot deployments.
    • In AI Business Solutions, we have increased Copilot funding by 50%, reflecting strong momentum and broadening accessibility across the workforce.
    • Microsoft 365 incentives are increasing by double digits.
    • Azure outcome-based incentives are up 70% YOY, rewarding partners for expanding workloads, driving seat growth, and deepening solution adoption.
    • We are strengthening our CSP incentives with a ~20% YOY increase to reward growth through new customer acquisition, upselling new workloads, and expanding existing relationships. To align our investments with our FY26 growth ambitions, we’re pulling forward the effective date of these incentives to July 1. This shift ensures a fast start to the year, enabling partners to accelerate execution, capture opportunity earlier, and drive measurable impact from day one. We’re structuring this opportunity to foster a more predictable and profitable environment as partners deliver strategic customer solutions.
    • We are also investing 15% more in Security, an increase from a significant investment base, to empower partner-led engagements that protect customers and open new business opportunities.

    Be sure to download our CSA incentives playbooks for guidance on the customer opportunity across each solution area, along with the resources available at each stage of customer engagement to help partners capture that opportunity.

    The Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program is the engine that fuels our ecosystem. We are committed to continual investment, flexibility, and shared success so that our program evolves in lockstep with our technology and the market. 
     

    Seizing the segment opportunity

    Across customer segments, we see real momentum and value creation through Microsoft’s AI platform, especially through Copilot and agents. Organizations are using AI to reshape how work gets done, reduce costs, and unlock net-new value.

    Microsoft estimates, based on IDC data, that in the small and medium enterprise (SME) segment, the total addressable market (TAM) will reach $777 billion by FY26 for organizations with fewer than 3,000 employees. This spans over 400 million organizations globally. Our Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) partners are playing a critical role as trusted advisors, with SMB and corporate seller-partner co-sell deals up significantly year over year.

    In the enterprise segment, partners are leading large-scale AI and cloud transformations across a $592 billion TAM by reimagining customers’ core business processes and accelerating their journey toward fully agent-operated workflows.

    Across both segments, Copilot is emerging as a strategic differentiator for partners. The data is clear: those who deploy Copilot internally and become their own customer zero see greater customer success and faster revenue growth. By using the same tools they bring to market, partners can deliver more authentic demos, demonstrate real business outcomes, and guide customers with confidence. If you have not started your internal Copilot journey, now is the time. 
     

    Looking ahead

    AI is reshaping businesses, industries, and entire economies. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to define the future together, and Microsoft is dedicated to being a wholly committed partner along the way.

    • If you missed the MCAPS Start for Partners keynote or want to revisit key announcements, I encourage you to watch the keynote on demand.
    • Watch the breakout sessions on July 15 or check back on July 17 for a link to the recorded experience.
    • We also invite you to attend our upcoming MCI Partner sessions dedicated to assisting partners with questions related to new and/or existing incentive offers in MCI.
    • Join us for Microsoft Partner FY26 GTM Kickoff event on July 22 to learn about the go-to-market (GTM) priorities and initiatives planned for FY26 across Microsoft Business Applications and Modern Work.
    • Register for a Cloud & AI Platforms FY26 partner playbook walkthrough for systems integrators. Sign in to Teams and register for a morning or evening session.
    • Find out more about Azure Accelerate, our new holistic offering that brings together Azure Migrate and Modernize, Azure Innovate, and Cloud Accelerate Factory.

    The opportunity ahead is immense, and we are building the platform, programs, and incentives to enable you to deliver market-leading capability and customer success through our partnership.

    Thank you for all you have accomplished and all we will achieve together in FY26!

  • MIL-OSI Banking: New research: AI could make breast cancer screening more accurate and easier

    Headline: New research: AI could make breast cancer screening more accurate and easier

    At Microsoft’s AI for Good Lab, we’ve been working with partners at the University of Washington, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, and other institutions to explore whether artificial intelligence can help bring greater clarity, accuracy, and trust to breast cancer screening. 

    This week, our joint research team released the results of a new study published in Radiology, detailing a promising AI approach that aims not just to detect cancer—but to do so in a way that radiologists can trust and patients can understand. 

    The challenges with current breast cancer screening 

    Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide. In the United States alone, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. Early detection through screening is the most powerful tool available to save lives, with a 20% to 40% reduction in mortality for women aged 50-69—yet it remains an imperfect science. 

    Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is among the most sensitive screening tools available, especially for women at higher risk. But for all its sensitivity, MRI comes with serious trade-offs: high rates of false positives, significantly increased anxiety for patients, and unnecessary biopsies. The problem is especially acute for the nearly 50% of women who have dense breast tissue—a condition that not only increases the risk of breast cancer but also makes it harder to detect abnormalities through traditional imaging methods like mammograms. 

    Too often, these challenges translate into a troubling equation: more scans, more uncertainty, and more follow-up procedures that turn out to be unnecessary. In fact, only a small fraction—less than 5%—of women undergoing breast MRI screening are ultimately diagnosed with cancer. 

    A smarter model, built for the real world 

    The model—called FCDD (Fully Convolutional Data Description)—is based on anomaly detection rather than standard classification. That’s an important shift. Instead of trying to learn what every possible cancer looks like, the model learns what normal breast scans look like and flags anything that deviates.

    This approach is particularly effective in real-world screening settings where cancer is rare and abnormalities are highly varied. Across a dataset of over 9,700 breast MRI exams, the model was tested in both high- and low-prevalence scenarios—including realistic screening populations where just 1.85% of scans contained cancer.

    Here’s what we found:

    • Improved accuracy in low-prevalence populations: FCDD outperformed traditional AI models in identifying malignancies while dramatically reducing false positives. In screening-like settings, it achieved double the positive predictive value of standard models and cut false alarms by more than 25%.
    • Exceptional explainability: Unlike most AI models, FCDD doesn’t just give a “yes” or “no”—it generates heatmaps that visually highlight the suspected tumor location in the two-dimensional MRI projection. These explanation maps matched expert radiologist retrospective annotations with 92% accuracy (pixel-wise AUC), far exceeding other models.
    • Generalizability across institutions: Without retraining, the model maintained high performance on a publicly available external dataset and an independent internal dataset, suggesting strong potential for broader clinical adoption.

    Making AI impactful, not just impressive 

    This model is more than a technical achievement. It’s a step toward making AI useful in clinical workflows—providing triage support, reducing time spent on normal cases, and focusing radiologists’ attention where it matters most. By improving specificity at high sensitivity thresholds (95–97%), the model could help reduce unnecessary callbacks and biopsies, easing emotional and financial burdens for patients. 

    Importantly, the code and methodology have been made open to the research community. You can explore the project here: GitHub Repository, and the paper here.

    As with all AI in healthcare, the path to impact requires more than algorithms. It requires trust. Trust is built not only by performance metrics but also by transparency, interpretability, and a clear understanding of the clinical context in which these tools are deployed. 

    Where we go from here 

    We still have work ahead. The model will need to be tested prospectively in larger, diverse clinical populations. But the results are promising—and they mark an important shift in how we think about the role of AI in medicine. Rather than asking doctors to trust a black box, we’re building models that shine a light on what they see and why. 

    “We are very optimistic about the potential of this new AI model, not only for its increased accuracy over other models in identifying cancerous regions but its ability to do so using only minimal image data from each exam. Importantly, this AI tool can be applied to abbreviated contrast-enhanced breast MRI exams as well as full diagnostic protocols, which may also help in shortening both scan times and interpretation times,” said Savannah Partridge, Professor of Radiology at the University of Washington and senior author of the study. “We are excited to take the next steps to assess its utility for enhancing radiologist performance and clinical workflows.” 

    AI will not replace radiologists. But with the right design and oversight, it can give them sharper tools and clearer signals to increase confidence in evaluating difficult cases.  

    Breast cancer is a global challenge. With AI, we have a chance to detect it earlier, reduce unnecessary interventions, and ultimately save more lives. That is a future worth building toward—one pixel, one scan, and one breakthrough at a time.

    Seizing the segment opportunity

    Across customer segments, we see real momentum and value creation through Microsoft’s AI platform, especially through Copilot and agents. Organizations are using AI to reshape how work gets done, reduce costs, and unlock net-new value.

    Microsoft estimates, based on IDC data, that in the small and medium enterprise (SME) segment, the total addressable market (TAM) will reach $777 billion by FY26 for organizations with fewer than 3,000 employees. This spans over 400 million organizations globally. Our Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) partners are playing a critical role as trusted advisors, with SMB and corporate seller-partner co-sell deals up significantly year over year.

    In the enterprise segment, partners are leading large-scale AI and cloud transformations across a $592 billion TAM by reimagining customers’ core business processes and accelerating their journey toward fully agent-operated workflows.

    Across both segments, Copilot is emerging as a strategic differentiator for partners. The data is clear: those who deploy Copilot internally and become their own customer zero see greater customer success and faster revenue growth. By using the same tools they bring to market, partners can deliver more authentic demos, demonstrate real business outcomes, and guide customers with confidence. If you have not started your internal Copilot journey, now is the time. 
     

    Looking ahead

    AI is reshaping businesses, industries, and entire economies. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to define the future together, and Microsoft is dedicated to being a wholly committed partner along the way.

  • MIL-OSI Economics: New research: AI could make breast cancer screening more accurate and easier

    Source: Microsoft

    Headline: New research: AI could make breast cancer screening more accurate and easier

    At Microsoft’s AI for Good Lab, we’ve been working with partners at the University of Washington, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, and other institutions to explore whether artificial intelligence can help bring greater clarity, accuracy, and trust to breast cancer screening. 

    This week, our joint research team released the results of a new study published in Radiology, detailing a promising AI approach that aims not just to detect cancer—but to do so in a way that radiologists can trust and patients can understand. 

    The challenges with current breast cancer screening 

    Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide. In the United States alone, one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. Early detection through screening is the most powerful tool available to save lives, with a 20% to 40% reduction in mortality for women aged 50-69—yet it remains an imperfect science. 

    Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is among the most sensitive screening tools available, especially for women at higher risk. But for all its sensitivity, MRI comes with serious trade-offs: high rates of false positives, significantly increased anxiety for patients, and unnecessary biopsies. The problem is especially acute for the nearly 50% of women who have dense breast tissue—a condition that not only increases the risk of breast cancer but also makes it harder to detect abnormalities through traditional imaging methods like mammograms. 

    Too often, these challenges translate into a troubling equation: more scans, more uncertainty, and more follow-up procedures that turn out to be unnecessary. In fact, only a small fraction—less than 5%—of women undergoing breast MRI screening are ultimately diagnosed with cancer. 

    A smarter model, built for the real world 

    The model—called FCDD (Fully Convolutional Data Description)—is based on anomaly detection rather than standard classification. That’s an important shift. Instead of trying to learn what every possible cancer looks like, the model learns what normal breast scans look like and flags anything that deviates.

    This approach is particularly effective in real-world screening settings where cancer is rare and abnormalities are highly varied. Across a dataset of over 9,700 breast MRI exams, the model was tested in both high- and low-prevalence scenarios—including realistic screening populations where just 1.85% of scans contained cancer.

    Here’s what we found:

    • Improved accuracy in low-prevalence populations: FCDD outperformed traditional AI models in identifying malignancies while dramatically reducing false positives. In screening-like settings, it achieved double the positive predictive value of standard models and cut false alarms by more than 25%.
    • Exceptional explainability: Unlike most AI models, FCDD doesn’t just give a “yes” or “no”—it generates heatmaps that visually highlight the suspected tumor location in the two-dimensional MRI projection. These explanation maps matched expert radiologist retrospective annotations with 92% accuracy (pixel-wise AUC), far exceeding other models.
    • Generalizability across institutions: Without retraining, the model maintained high performance on a publicly available external dataset and an independent internal dataset, suggesting strong potential for broader clinical adoption.

    Making AI impactful, not just impressive 

    This model is more than a technical achievement. It’s a step toward making AI useful in clinical workflows—providing triage support, reducing time spent on normal cases, and focusing radiologists’ attention where it matters most. By improving specificity at high sensitivity thresholds (95–97%), the model could help reduce unnecessary callbacks and biopsies, easing emotional and financial burdens for patients. 

    Importantly, the code and methodology have been made open to the research community. You can explore the project here: GitHub Repository, and the paper here.

    As with all AI in healthcare, the path to impact requires more than algorithms. It requires trust. Trust is built not only by performance metrics but also by transparency, interpretability, and a clear understanding of the clinical context in which these tools are deployed. 

    Where we go from here 

    We still have work ahead. The model will need to be tested prospectively in larger, diverse clinical populations. But the results are promising—and they mark an important shift in how we think about the role of AI in medicine. Rather than asking doctors to trust a black box, we’re building models that shine a light on what they see and why. 

    “We are very optimistic about the potential of this new AI model, not only for its increased accuracy over other models in identifying cancerous regions but its ability to do so using only minimal image data from each exam. Importantly, this AI tool can be applied to abbreviated contrast-enhanced breast MRI exams as well as full diagnostic protocols, which may also help in shortening both scan times and interpretation times,” said Savannah Partridge, Professor of Radiology at the University of Washington and senior author of the study. “We are excited to take the next steps to assess its utility for enhancing radiologist performance and clinical workflows.” 

    AI will not replace radiologists. But with the right design and oversight, it can give them sharper tools and clearer signals to increase confidence in evaluating difficult cases.  

    Breast cancer is a global challenge. With AI, we have a chance to detect it earlier, reduce unnecessary interventions, and ultimately save more lives. That is a future worth building toward—one pixel, one scan, and one breakthrough at a time.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Warren, Schumer, Sanders Urge ED Secretary McMahon to Reverse Interest Hike on Student Loan Borrowers Amid Rising Costs

    US Senate News:

    Source: United States Senator for Massachusetts – Elizabeth Warren
    July 15, 2025
    ED will increase the student loan balances of eight million Americans by $300/month on average.
    Senators: “You should immediately reverse this policy so that millions of borrowers are not forced to pay billions of dollars in unnecessary interest charges.”
    Text of Letter (PDF)
    Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), and Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, sent a letter to Secretary of Education Linda McMahon, urging the Department of Education (ED) to immediately reverse its recent decision to resume charging interest to the nearly eight million student loan borrowers currently in a forbearance after enrolling in the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan. 
    “This decision will be devastating for millions of American families,” wrote the senators. “The average borrower enrolled in SAVE will be charged hundreds of dollars in interest each month, amounting to over $27 billion in unnecessary costs placed on borrowers across the country over the next year alone.”
    SAVE is an income-driven repayment (IDR) plan designed by the Biden Administration to make federal student loan payments significantly more affordable for millions of borrowers, which would have cut many borrowers’ monthly payments in half. Last year, as a result of litigation pursued by Republican state attorneys general, Republican-appointed judges blocked the implementation of the SAVE plan, forcing the eight million borrowers who had already enrolled in SAVE into a forbearance. In response, the Biden Administration implemented a safeguard that prevented these borrowers from accruing interest during the pause. 
    On July 9, 2025, Secretary McMahon announced that borrowers in the SAVE forbearance would begin accruing interest again. The decision came despite a backlog of 1.5 million unprocessed IDR applications, meaning that SAVE borrowers will likely be unable to switch to another IDR plan that would allow them to make progress toward debt relief. Instead, they will be stuck in forbearance with no way to avoid accumulating interest. And once the forbearance period ends, many of these borrowers’ monthly payments will be higher due to the extra interest charges that will have accumulated and compounded over time.
    ED’s new policy appears to be based on a false premise. The press release announcing the new policy claimed that it was required by a court order. But no court has told ED to resume charging interest, and the Administration has the legal right under the Higher Education Act to pause interest payments for borrowers in the SAVE forbearance. In fact, courts have even cited the interest-free forbearance as justification for continuing to temporarily suspend SAVE while litigation is ongoing.
    “It defies logic and the law that a months-old preliminary injunction against SAVE, which makes no mention of the interest-free forbearance, requires you to start charging interest to millions of borrowers in forbearance now,” wrote the senators. “You should immediately reverse this policy so that millions of borrowers are not forced to pay billions of dollars in unnecessary interest charges.”
    Due to the impacts this policy will have on millions of student loan borrowers, the senators demanded Secretary McMahon answer their questions about this new policy and the staggering IDR application backlog by July 28, 2025:
    “Under your leadership, ED has continuously failed student loan borrowers, jacking up costs and ripping up consumer protections,” concluded the senators. “This new policy is another example of the Trump Administration’s deliberate disregard for the millions of Americans shouldering student loan debt across the country.”
    Senator Warren launched the Save Our Schools campaign in a coordinated effort to fight back against President Trump’s attempts to abolish the Department of Education:
    On July 14, 2025, Senator Warren joined a letter to the director of the Office of Management and Budget, Russ Vought, and the Department of Education Secretary, Linda McMahon, demanding that the department stop blocking nearly $7 billion in funds for K-12 schools, including for afterschool programs. 
    On July 3, 2025, Senator Warren led her colleagues in submitting an amicus brief for NAACP v. US, arguing to the United States District Court District of Maryland that President Trump’s attempts to dismantle the Department of Education (ED) violate separation of powers and lack constitutional authority.
    On June 10, 2025, Senator Warren met with Secretary of Education Linda McMahon and delivered over 1,000 letters to McMahon that the senator had received from people in all 50 states who were worried about the Secretary’s efforts to dismantle ED.
    On June 9, 2025, Senator Warren led her colleagues in pushing the Acting Inspector General of ED to open an investigation into new information obtained by her office, revealing that DOGE may have gained access to two FSA internal systems, in addition to sensitive borrower data.
    On May 20, 2025, Senator Warren and 27 other senators pushed for full funding for the Office of Federal Student Aid.
    On May 14, 2025, Senator Warren led a Senate forum entitled “Stealing the American Dream: How Trump and Republicans Are Raising Education Costs for Families,” highlighting the consequences of Secretary Linda McMahon’s reckless dismantling of the Department of Education (ED) and President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” for working- and middle-class students and borrowers.
    On May 13, 2025, Senator Warren agreed to meet with Education Secretary Linda McMahon and promised to bring questions and stories from Americans across the country to highlight how the Trump administration’s attacks on education are hurting American families.
    On May 6, 2025, Senator Elizabeth Warren highlighted the consequences of President Trump and Secretary Linda McMahon’s reckless dismantling of the Department of Education for American families in a Senate forum.
    On April 24, 2025, Senator Warren launched a new investigation into the harms of President Trump’s attacks on the Department of Education, seeking information on the impact of the Trump administration’s actions from the members of twelve leading organizations representing schools, parents, teachers, students, borrowers, and researchers.
    On April 10, 2025, following a request led by Senator Warren, the Department of Education’s Acting Inspector General agreed to open an investigation into the Trump administration’s attempts to dismantle the Department of Education.
    On April 2, 2025, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Mazie Hirono, along with Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, sent a letter to Secretary of Education Linda McMahon regarding the Department of Government Efficiency’s proposed plan to replace the Department of Education’s federal student aid call centers with generative artificial intelligence chatbots.
    On April 2, 2025, Senator Elizabeth Warren launched the Save Our Schools campaign to fight back against the Trump administration’s efforts to dismantle the Department of Education (ED) and highlight the consequences for every student and public school in America.
    On March 27, 2025, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) led a letter to Acting Department of Education Inspector General (IG) René Rocque requesting that the IG conduct an investigation of the Trump Administration’s attempts to dismantle the Department of Education.
    On March 20, 2025, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders led a letter to Secretary of Education Linda McMahon regarding the Trump Administration’s decision to slash the capacity of Federal Student Aid to handle student aid complaints.
    On February 24, 2025, in a response to Senator Warren, Secretary McMahon gave her first public admission that she “wholeheartedly” agreed with Trump’s plans to abolish the Department of Education.
    On February 11, 2025, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Andy Kim sent Linda McMahon, Secretary-Designate for the U.S. Department of Education, a 12-page letter with 65 questions on McMahon’s policy views in advance of her nomination hearing.

  • MIL-OSI Analysis: How AI can help protect bees from dangerous parasites

    Source: The Conversation – Canada – By Farnaz Sheikhi, Postdoctoral Associate in Computer Vision, University of Calgary

    Tiny but mighty, honeybees play a crucial role in our ecosystems, pollinating various plants and crops. They also support the economy. These small producers contribute billions of dollars to Canada’s agriculture industry, making Canada a major honey producer.

    However, in the winter of 2024, Canada’s honey industry faced a severe collapse. Canada lost more than one-third of its beehives, primarily due to the widespread infestation of Varroa mites.

    Traditional methods for controlling these parasites now seem less effective, and the industry needs a transition to smart beekeeping if it is to survive.

    We are currently conducting research to develop a non-invasive and sustainable method for the early detection of Varroa mites. Our proposed approach uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze images from beehives, automatically classifying them based on the presence of Varroa mites and the level of infestation.

    Varroa infestations

    Varroa mites are tiny parasites that attach to honeybees, feed on their body tissue and transmit viruses throughout the colony. Over the years, these parasites have developed resistance to the traditional control methods, necessitating more aggressive treatments. However, these treatments can endanger the health of honeybees.

    The Prairie provinces — Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba — are Canada’s top honey-producing regions, with Alberta alone contributing almost 40 per cent of the country’s total honey production.

    Canada lost an average of 34.6 per cent of its bee colonies in the winter of 2024 — 2.4 per cent more than the loss of the previous year. The winter losses across Canada ranged from 9.8 per cent in Newfoundland and Labrador to 61.3 per cent on Prince Edward Island. In the Prairie provinces, colony losses reached almost 40 per cent.

    Investigations reported that Varroa mite infestations were a key contributing factor causing the devastation.

    Economic impact on Canada

    Winter 2024 losses had a devastating effect on Canada’s beekeepers. The high cost of honeybees as well as the intensive labour and time needed to rebuild hives make them difficult to replace.

    Within a stable environment and a thriving industry, increased investment yields higher returns. In 2023, the number of beekeepers and bee colonies in Canada increased by 3.29 per cent and 2.4 per cent, respectively.

    Yet, in 2024, Canada experienced an 18.3 per cent decrease in honey production. The total national value of the harvest declined by 24.5 per cent, dropping from from $283 million in 2023 to $214 million. The Prairie provinces were hit hardest; the value of honey solely produced in Alberta fell from $100 million in 2023 to $75 million in 2024.

    Limitations of current monitoring methods

    Preventing mites requires frequent hive monitoring. Although timely detection is critical for treating hives, manual inspection is time-consuming and labour-intensive. Furthermore, frequent manual monitoring can pose risks to the health and well-being of honeybees.

    Alcohol washes, sugar shakes and using sticky boards are among the methods for Varroa mites monitoring. In a typical alcohol wash test, about 300 bees per colony are sampled. These bees are washed in rubbing alcohol. Then, they are shaken rigorously to check for Varroa mites. The problem with this method is that all the bees tested die in the process.

    While other methods, such as the sugar shake and using sticky boards, do not kill the bees tested, they deliver limited results and are not always as accurate.

    This makes none of the current methods ideal; each involves a trade-off between invasiveness and accuracy. And given that testing must be done frequently, they all pose risks to the health of honeybees themselves. So what’s the solution?

    Using AI to detect Varroa mites

    There is an urgent need for the beekeeping industry to evolve to help prevent further losses and support the resilience of bee populations. Climate change and resistance of mites to traditional treatments are environmental alarms demanding a change in our beekeeping approaches.

    This is where artificial intelligence comes in. Using imaging systems, sensors embedded in hives, image-processing techniques and AI, researchers are now able to continuously collect and analyze hive data to detect Varroa mites.

    In this approach, a camera is placed inside the beehive brood box to capture images of the honeybees. These images are then transmitted via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth for storage and analysis.

    A neural network can be trained on the collected images — first to detect bees using object-detection algorithms, and then to identify Varroa mites on the bees through colour transformation techniques. Once mites are detected, their number within the hive can be automatically counted.

    Using this technology, beekeepers can benefit from automatic monitoring of the hives. When the level of infestation is specified by the system, it can also recommend effective treatments for hives. This way, Varroa mites can be detected and treated at an early stage, allowing hives to survive the winter more smoothly.

    Transitioning to smart beekeeping is a strategic solution that is non-invasive and environmentally friendly, cost-effective and profitable in the long term. The good news is that researchers at the University of Calgary and beekeepers are already working together to make this happen and preserve the sweetness of honey across our land.

  • MIL-OSI United Nations: 15 July 2025 Departmental update New WHO guidance on HIV disclosure for children and adolescents

    Source: World Health Organisation

    Despite some advancements in achieving key milestones towards ending AIDS in children and adolescents, progress remains slow and major challenges continue to hinder the attainment of global targets. Disclosure is a continuing challenge for these groups, with limited evidence for effective interventions. 

    Disclosure refers to the process by which children and adolescents are made aware of their own HIV status, enabling them to share this with others safely and when ready, and empowering them to be engaged in and lead decision-making about their own health. Disclosure, when done the right way, can lead to significant benefits, increased social support, reduced stress and improved mental health. Although they are a driver of improved clinical outcomes, disclosure decisions can be particularly complex, with important considerations to be weighed up concerning potential risks and benefits. To address these gaps, an up-to-date understanding of the evidence on disclosure interventions for this age group is necessary.

    WHO has released new guidance to help children and adolescents living with HIV navigate disclosure. Since the guidance released by WHO in 2011, no practical tools have been made available for ministries of health, health-care providers and their teams. 

    “With this new document, WHO is responding to country requests to support the implementation of evidence-informed activities guiding safe and quality disclosure. This new guidance provides an overview of disclosure interventions that are developmentally appropriate, address layered stigma, promote caregiver-client communication, and facilitate supportive health and community systems both pre- and post-disclosure for policy-makers, health workers, caregivers, children, adolescents and the community at large” says Wole Ameyan, WHO Global HIV, Hepatitis and STIs Programmes.

    The updated guidance outlines safe approaches and proven interventions, presented in 2 parts. 

    The first part presents findings from a scoping review of 25 interventions supporting HIV status disclosure to, and by, children and adolescents aged 6-19. These include disclosure-specific and disclosure-inclusive interventions.

    “All children and adolescents have the right to and need for information that helps them make sense of their world,” said Nicola Willis, Executive Director, Zvandiri, a community-based organization in Zimbabwe. “Yet many living with HIV have lacked this vital support. This new guidance reminds us that discussing their HIV status with them is an essential component of their treatment and care. Evidence-based approaches exist and it’s time to prioritize their implementation to improve mental health and viral suppression.”

    The second part outlines emerging considerations, gaps and key actions on adolescent development and autonomous decision-making; stigma and rights-based approaches; measurement, monitoring and evaluation; building support systems across families and communities; and the need for innovation in an evolving epidemic. It offers health workers, policy-makers, and other practitioners and researchers working with vulnerable populations, an overview of evidence integrated with rights-based approaches centred on child and adolescent well-being in the process of disclosure.

    “This new guidance offers clear, actionable examples and a strong summary of updated, context-specific interventions,” said Luann Hatane, Executive Director, Paediatric-Adolescent Treatment Africa (PATA). “We look forward to sharing it across our network and incorporating the case studies into our capacity-building efforts.”

    Disclosure is both a personal decision and a means to safeguard health outcomes, especially for younger populations. The social, relational, and systemic considerations emerging from the evidence are central to promoting safe disclosure.
