AI in healthcare stalls: A new survey says many health systems can’t get past AI pilots—45% are stuck beyond early trials, often because EHR vendor roadmaps and third-party integrations slow real rollout. Arkansas lab expansion: Arkana Laboratories finished a $24M renovation in Little Rock, adding a 24,000-square-foot lab for same-day biopsies and creating 70+ jobs. AI + law in Little Rock: AG Tim Griffin’s new “Innovation with Integrity” series drew 400+ registrants on using AI responsibly, including warnings about deepfakes. Local environment watch: After a Fort Smith chemical spill killed fish downstream, residents across the border in Oklahoma report ongoing worries about long-term impacts. Lithium timeline: Standard Lithium says construction is starting on its South West Arkansas project, targeting lithium extraction from Smackover brine in 2028. STEM community push: ASUMH launched a $2.5M campaign tied to health care, manufacturing/trades, computer info systems, education, and arts & sciences.
