Summary

JMIR Publications has released features on changing consent practices for AI clinical trials, a Canadian doctors’ campaign supporting the proposed Safe Social Media Act, and an automated oxygen-control device. The proposed Bill C-34 would restrict social media accounts for children under 16 unless platforms have adequate safeguards, and require platforms and AI chatbots to better address cyberbullying and harmful content. A clinical trial found the oxygen device reduced time patients spent with blood oxygen levels that were too low or too high, but it operates within clinician-set limits.
