Artificial intelligence has had a significant impact on the healthcare industry, specifically in the ways businesses and providers operate and deliver care. From streamlining administrative tasks to improving patient care with data-driven insights, there are numerous outcomes that have only become possible with the evolution of AI.

...predicts a breakthrough in foundation models in the near future. He sees great potential in humanoid robots for everyday life.

AI-Powered Weed-Killing Robots Threaten a $37 Billion Market...Using less weed killer through precision applications can help cut costs for growers

Researchers at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL), headed by assistant professor Peter Koo, PhD, and his team, have developed an AI-powered virtual laboratory, cis-regulatory element model explanations (CREME), that allows geneticists to run thousands of virtual experiments with the click of a button. Using CREME, scientists can use the tool to begin identifying and understanding key regions of the genome.

Protein structures predicted by artificial intelligence have charted the evolution of the virus family responsible for dengue and hepatitis C.

... after having been lulled into a false sense of complacency after there was no AI progress beyond IQ 100 for the 6 months since I started tracking this...I also think all this makes clear that AIs are intelligent, and are reasoning.

Scientists are using ever more sophisticated AI algorithms trained on vast, unlabeled datasets to develop models that can ‘interpret’ biological data to help guide biomolecule design.

GameGen-O represents a notable initial step forward in the realm of open-world video game generation via generative models. It underscores the potential of generative models to serve as an alternative to rendering techniques, which can efficiently combine creative generation with interactive capabilities.

…introduce two new papers featuring our latest artificial intelligence (AI) advances in robot dexterity research: ALOHA Unleashed which helps robots learn to perform complex and novel two-armed manipulation tasks; and DemoStart which uses simulations to improve real-world performance on a multi-fingered robotic hand…ALOHA Unleashed and DemoStart, help robots learn to perform complex tasks that require dexterous movement

...For one, robots can’t come soon enough. For another, they shouldn’t look like us... concerns that Silicon Valley, with its focus on “minimum viable products” and VCs’ general aversion to investing in hardware, will be patient enough to win the global race to give AI a robot body. And much of the money that is being invested is focusing on the wrong things.
