ELON MUSK LOOKS TO IMPROVE GROK’S MEDICAL CAPABILITIES 🙏

Q: Why didn’t the skeleton go to the ball?

A: He had no-body to dance with. 💀

What’s going on? Elon Musk is urging people to submit medical scans like X-rays and MRIs to Grok, his AI chatbot, to help it improve its diagnostic capabilities.

Why is this significant? Grok and other AI systems have proven capabilities when it comes to the medical field, particularly in radiology and diagnostics. This effort from Musk to train Grok on more real data is an exciting opportunity for AI to make more meaningful contributions in these fields. It is also an opportunity for the public to play a part in this development.

What do the medical experts say? Many medical experts like Dr. Marc Siegel, clinical professor of medicine at NYU Langone Health, see AI as the “future of medicine,” particularly in providing diagnostic support in areas lacking radiologists. However, they emphasize caution in both development and use. While AI can be a valuable aid in healthcare, it isn’t yet a replacement for trained professionals. Dr. Harvey Castro, an emergency physician, echoed this view, stating, “As an ER physician, I’ve seen firsthand how crucial quick, accurate diagnostics are in life-threatening situations.” Although AI can help with this, he noted that development must prioritize accuracy, patient safety, and privacy.

“While Grok’s potential is exciting, any AI used in health care should complement human expertise, not replace it.”

OPENAI STARTS MANUFACTURING ITS FIRST AI CHIP 💾

If you’re going to give out chips for Halloween, make sure they are Nvidia brand. 😁

What’s new? OpenAI has started developing its first in-house AI chip, aiming for release as soon as 2026.

How will this work? Instead of building its own chip factories, OpenAI is collaborating with Broadcom and TSMC for chip design, focusing on creating specialized processors to run its complex models. Rather than relying on general purpose AI chips, these proprietary chips will allow for more energy efficiency and computing power tailored for company-specific tasks.

What else? In addition to creating proprietary chips, OpenAI is starting to incorporate AMD chips and use Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform for training. Previously, the company almost exclusively used Nvidia GPUs, but chip shortages and rising costs have prompted them to seek more diverse solutions. By designing its own chip and expanding its partnerships, OpenAI could gain greater control over its hardware needs, potentially improving model performance and reducing its reliance on outside suppliers.

IRON MAN SPEAKS OUT AGAINST AI 🙅‍♂️

Be careful if you dress up as Iron Man for Halloween. You might get sued! (Not really) 🤪

What happened? Robert Downey Jr. recently shared his strong views against using AI to recreate his iconic portrayal of Tony Stark (Iron Man), even vowing to take legal action if Marvel executives ever considered such a move.

Want more details? Speaking on the “On With Kara Swisher” podcast, Downey Jr. said he would sue any future executives who might authorize an AI-generated version of his likeness, noting that his law firm would stay active even after his death. Downey Jr. isn’t the first to speak out against this sort of thing. His stance aligns with a growing movement in Hollywood against unauthorized digital replication of actors, fueled by ongoing strikes, statements, and lawsuits. Additionally, California, the home of Hollywood, recently passed a law requiring informed consent for digital replicas of this type.
