Google's MedGemma AI Models Could Transform Healthcare

The new Google open-source healthcare AI models are called MedGemma 27B Multimodal and MedSigLIP. Hospitals, researchers, and developers can download them, modify them, and run them however they see fit. The MedGemma 27B can look at medical images and understand them. When it was tested on MedQA, a standard medical knowledge benchmark, it scored 87.7%, making it close to larger, more expensive models while costing much less to run. Google also released MedSigLIP, which can understand medical images and spot patterns and features in ways that general-purpose models cannot.

AI and Robotics Improving Industrial Enzymes

At the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, researchers have started utilizing AI for industrial enzyme production and modification. The AI proposes sequence changes based on researchers' needs and datasets provided by iBioFoundry. Afterwords, the enzymes are created and tested using robots. This process greatly increases enzyme production since numerous enzyme mutations exist and thus make it challenging to pinpoint the necessary ones.

Microsoft to Lay Off 9,000 Employees

Microsoft plans to lay off about 4 percent of its work force, or 9,000 people, due to the tightening job market at big technology companies. Despite the shaky economy, Microsoft's last earnings report showed investors have driven its market valuation up to almost $3.7 trillion. However, Microsoft is in the middle of an expensive investment in A.I., including spending billions to lease and build data centers to support the demand for cloud computing and A.I. The job cuts are a sign that Microsoft’s A.I. development are having an impact on the size of its work force.

AI Tool, StateViewer, Helps Identify Dementia

AI is now being used to help identify nine types of dementia more efficiently and accurately. StateViewer, the AI program, analyzes and compares a FDG-PET scan amongst other brains scans with confirmed dementia. It then explains its findings to clinicians by color-coding parts of the scan that show unique brain activity. With this new technology, the extensive testing required to diagnose dementia can be expedited greatly.

AMP Saves Recycling Costs Using AI and Robotics

With each American creating an average of five pounds of waste a day, recycling has been an important concern. AMP, Matanya Horowitz's startup, has aimed to solve the issue using AI and robotics. They've created robots that use cameras to scan waste and pick out recyclable materials, doing so with over 90% accuracy. With the advancement of AI, such as ChatGPT, his robots have significantly improved as well. He hopes to implement his robots in more waste sites, and possibly even other areas like reverse logistics, to significantly cut costs for businesses and people.

New AI Features Added to Amazon's Ring Raises Privacy Concerns

Amazon's Ring doorbell, equipped with cameras and microphones, grants home users with an unprecedented level of home security. Their most recent feature called Video Descriptions utilizes AI video analysis to provide descriptive summaries of the events happening on the user's porch. These notifications are sent based on deviations from typical behavior, with Ring's AI learning the normal routines of the resident's property in order to distinguish anomalies. This has some users worried that their information could be used for thieves or stalkers, but Ring's spokesperson asserted that the generated video descriptions do not get stored for long term.

AI has Learned to Find Hidden Heart Risks In CT Scans

By examining CT scans, researchers from Mass General Brigham and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs have created an artificial intelligence (AI) tool called AI-CAC that can identify hidden heart disease risk. With almost 90% accuracy, it can detect coronary artery calcium (CAC), a significant factor in heart attack risk and long-term mortality. After being trained on a sizable dataset of CT scans from veterans, the tool discovered a strong correlation between high CAC scores and an elevated risk of death over a ten-year period. AI-CAC may assist physicians in identifying at-risk patients early and directing care toward prevention by repurposing existing scans that were initially obtained for other purposes, such as lung cancer screening.
