The Court of AI Capability

Public Docket · Stuff AI Can't Do
Case No. № EA8E Aug 19, 2026

Can AI hold a baby?

⚖ No

Case No. № A2F0 Aug 19, 2026

Can AI decide which human memories to erase?

⚖ No

"The jury unanimously concluded that artificial intelligence cannot presently single out and remove precise human memories, finding the idea beyond present technical reach."

Case No. № 3AC9 Aug 19, 2026

Can AI identify early-stage lung cancer from breath biomarkers using portable electronic noses?

⚖ Almost

"After weighing the evidence of controlled studies and real-world trials, the jury found the technology promising but not yet ready for prime time."

Case No. № 6A9D Aug 19, 2026

Can AI predict heart failure hospitalization risk using patient-generated ecg data from smartwatches?

⚖ Almost

"The jury agreed the science is promising but still in its infancy, noting that while smartwatches can whisper warnings of a storm ahead, they cannot yet shout the forecast with the…"

Case No. № 1234 Aug 19, 2026

Can AI estimate osteoporosis risk from routine dental x-rays of jaw bone density?

⚖ Almost

"After hearing the evidence, the jury agreed that while artificial intelligence shows promising skill in teasing bone density clues from routine dental radiographs, it has not yet c…"

Case No. № 1212 Aug 19, 2026

Can AI detect parkinson’s from subtle voice changes in a 30-second recording?

⚖ Yes

"The jury found the evidence overwhelmingly convincing, citing well-documented studies from institutions like MIT and Sage Bionetworks that confirm voice-based Parkinson’s detection…"

Case No. № F9E4 Aug 19, 2026

Can AI predict epileptic seizures five minutes in advance using eeg headband data?

⚖ No

"Though the jury marveled at AI’s ability to spot flickers in the brain’s electrical whispers, they found no proof that five quiet minutes could be guaranteed before the storm—only forecasts, not fates."

Case No. № 1FDC Aug 19, 2026

Can AI diagnose endometriosis from menstrual cycle irregularities detected in period-tracking app data?

⚖ No

"The jury saw clear limits to what AI can claim when it comes to endometriosis, noting that no system has yet earned the medical license required to diagnose such a complex conditio…"

Case No. № 8DC3 Aug 19, 2026

Can AI detect early-stage parkinson’s disease from subtle voice tremors in phone calls?

⚖ Almost

"After hearing the evidence, the lone juror siding with "Almost" acknowledged that voice-analysis AI can flag early Parkinson’s signs in controlled studies but stressed these system…"

Case No. № 984D Aug 19, 2026

Can AI predict individual cancer relapse risk using tumor genetic sequencing?

⚖ Yes

"The jury found the question firmly within AI’s wheelhouse, noting that specialized tools like DeepCEM and Pan-Cancer models already parse whole-genome sequencing to forecast relaps…"

Case No. № FA8E Aug 19, 2026

Can AI detect deepfake videos by analyzing microscopic inconsistencies in blinking patterns?

⚖ Yes

"The jury found the evidence compelling that microscopic inconsistencies in blinking patterns can expose deepfakes, noting that established detection models already rely on such tel…"

Case No. № 0B0E Aug 19, 2026

Can AI predict multiple sclerosis flare-ups from changes in smartphone typing speed patterns?

⚖ Almost

"After careful deliberation, the jury concluded that while specialized AI models can detect correlations between typing speed and multiple sclerosis flare-ups, they cannot yet be re…"

Case No. № 5F03 Aug 19, 2026

Can AI identify early huntington’s disease from subtle changes in eye movement while reading long text?

⚖ In Research

"After reviewing the lone juror’s findings, the court concludes that no evidence currently stands before it to declare AI capable of spotting early Huntington’s disease through read…"

Case No. № 4B36 Aug 19, 2026

Can AI predict rheumatoid arthritis exacerbations from voice tremors detected in phone calls?

⚖ In Research

"The jury found the evidence promising but not yet admissible, observing that no peer-reviewed system can consistently catch rheumatoid flares from phone-call quivers."

Case No. № 1157 Aug 19, 2026

Can AI diagnose early-stage alzheimer’s using subtle changes in speech patterns?

⚖ Almost

"The jury found that current AI can spot the softest linguistic tremors of early Alzheimer’s—yet it hasn’t yet passed peer-reviewed muster as a diagnostic clinician."

Case No. № 4829 Aug 19, 2026

Can AI diagnose early-stage parkinson’s from subtle handwriting tremors in digitized notes?

⚖ Yes

"Having reviewed the evidence, the jury found in favor of capability, persuaded by peer-reviewed studies showing specialized AI can detect early Parkinson’s from subtle handwriting …"

Case No. № F598 Aug 19, 2026

Can AI identify tuberculosis from cough audio recordings with better accuracy than human clinicians?

⚖ Almost

"The jury agrees that AI’s ability to detect tuberculosis from cough audio has surpassed human clinicians in select, controlled trials, yet its reach remains too narrow to claim complete victory."

Case No. № E6DA Aug 19, 2026

Can AI differentiate between bacterial and viral infections in sinusitis using facial thermal imaging?

⚖ No

"After careful deliberation, the jury found no published AI system that can reliably tell bacterial sinusitis from viral sinusitis using only facial thermal imaging—just as a thermo…"

Case No. № CA17 Aug 19, 2026

Can AI predict sickle cell crisis episodes from wearable device biometrics with 12-hour lead time?

⚖ No

"The jury found the evidence wanting, concluding that no model yet can peer sixteen hours ahead with the precision required by human bodies in crisis mode."

Case No. № AD11 Aug 19, 2026

Can AI generate personalized chemotherapy regimens by analyzing tumor microenvironment images?

⚖ Almost

"The jury found the AI capable of shedding light on the terrain of a patient's tumor but stopped short of handing it the scalpel, believing it still needs human co-pilot for the final prescription."

Case No. № 89FD Aug 19, 2026

Can AI generate personalized diet plans based on gut microbiome dna data?

⚖ Almost

"After thoughtful deliberation, the jury acknowledged that personalized diet plans drawn from gut microbiome DNA are already taking shape in labs and pilot trials, yet they remain t…"

Can AI reconstruct 3d bone structures from standard x-ray images?

⚖ Almost

"The jury’s lone “ALMOST” vote sprang from clear admiration for the AI’s ability to sketch a functional 3D skeleton from two plain X-rays, even as its hands still trembled at the le…"
