GOOGLE CLOUD PARTNERS WITH BAYER FOR AI RADIOLOGY TOOL 🩺

Q: What do dentists call x-rays?

A: Toothpicks. 🦷

What’s new? Google Cloud and German healthcare company Bayer have joined forces to pioneer a groundbreaking AI-powered platform to help radiologists work through cases and diagnoses more quickly and accurately.

How will it work? The platform’s central tool will be able to detect and flag potential problems within medical images that the human eye might miss. It will also be able to explore a patient’s medical history, including comparing the latest image to prior screenings, and summarize the relevant information for the radiologist. From there, the radiologist is able to take the summary of the medical history and the image to explore possible solutions and recommendations.

Why? Radiologists are facing a massive labor shortage, as there are up to eight times more job openings than there were ten years ago. This has caused many professionals to become burnt out and has also limited the availability of help for those who need assessed. Google Cloud believes this AI tool could be a massive solution to these problems. Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud, said, “The whole process flow is designed to help radiologists get through their task with assistance more quickly. It makes them more efficient so they can actually see more images and service more patients.” At the end of the day, however, according to Kurian, the radiologist will still maintain “sole control” of the recommendation they will make.

INTEL’S NEW AI CHIP TO CHALLENGE NVIDIA DOMINANCE 💾

French Fries are better than chips, and that’s not even a debate. 🍟

What’s up? Intel has unveiled a new, powerful AI chip called Gaudi 3.

What’s special about this chip? Gaudi 3’s testing phase showcased its prowess in training and deploying major AI models, positioning it as a versatile tool for AI development. The AI chip boasts over twice the power efficiency and 1.5 times the speed of Nvidia’s popular H100 GPU. Additionally, Intel will offer Gaudi 3 in various configurations, catering to diverse system integration needs.

What’s the significance? With Nvidia controlling an estimated 80% of the AI chip sector, Intel’s introduction of Gaudi 3 is a bold step toward capturing a significant market share and challenging Nvidia’s dominance. Not to mention, Intel’s existing partnerships with tech giants like Dell, HP, and Supermicro give it significant leverage in the hardware space.

AIR FORCE TO EMPLOY OVER 1,000 AI-FLOWN DRONES 🛩️

My friend told me invisible airplanes are going to be a thing, but I just can’t see them taking off. 🛫

What’s new? The U.S. Air Force is set to employ over 1,000 new AI-powered drones for military use, and one will be ready for live testing within months.

Want the details? The Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) project is part of a $6 billion program that will add at least 1,000 new drones to the Air Force. The drones will be designed to deploy alongside human-piloted jets and provide cover for them, acting as escorts with full weapon capabilities. The drones will also act as scouts or communication hubs in various circumstances. Military officials have not commented on the specific size of the planes, but did mention that they will be cheaper to build and acquire than human-operated jets. Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall told members of the U.S. Senate that he plans to ride in the cockpit of one of these aircrafts within the next few months, saying, “There will be a pilot with me who will just be watching, as I will be, as the autonomous technology works. Hopefully neither he nor I will be needed to fly the airplane.”

Why? These AI powered drones can be potentially used for a wide variety of applications, from scouting and communicating to engaging in dangerous combat without the need to risk human life. Undoubtedly, however, the employment of these AI-flown drones in military applications will raise moral concerns.
