AI can now detect COVID-19 in lung ultrasound images
Artificial intelligence can spot COVID-19 in lung ultrasound images much like facial recognition software can spot a face in a crowd, new research shows. The findings boost AI-driven medical diagnostics and bring health care professionals closer to being able to quickly diagnose patients with COVID-19 and other pulmonary diseases with algorithms that comb through ultrasound …

Universal controller could push robotic prostheses, exoskeletons into real-world use
Robotic exoskeletons designed to help humans with walking or physically demanding work have been the stuff of sci-fi lore for decades. Remember Ellen Ripley in that Power Loader in “Alien”? Or the crazy mobile platform George McFly wore in 2015 in “Back to the Future, Part II” because he threw his back out?
Apple’s MM1 AI Model Shows a Sleeping Giant Is Waking Up
A research paper quietly released by Apple describes an AI model called MM1 that can answer questions and analyze images. It’s the biggest sign yet that Apple is developing generative AI capabilities.
Researchers reveal roadmap for AI innovation in brain and language learning
One of the hallmarks of humanity is language, but now, powerful new artificial intelligence tools also compose poetry, write songs, and have extensive conversations with human users. Tools like ChatGPT and Gemini are widely available at the tap of a button—but just how smart are these AIs?
Stability AI brings a new dimension to video with Stable Video 3D

Fisker Suspends Its EV Production
After the difficult launch of its Ocean SUV, Fisker says it’s pausing production for six weeks.
Two artificial intelligences talk to each other
Performing a new task based solely on verbal or written instructions, and then describing it to others so that they can reproduce it, is a cornerstone of human communication that still resists artificial intelligence (AI). A team has succeeded in modelling an artificial neural network capable of this cognitive prowess. After learning and performing a …
Pixel perfect: Engineers’ new approach brings images into focus
Johns Hopkins researchers have developed an efficient new method to turn blurry images into clear, sharp ones. Called Progressively Deblurring Radiance Field (PDRF), this approach deblurs images 15 times faster than previous methods while also achieving better results on both synthetic and real scenes.
Musk’s Grok AI goes open source
The open sourcing of Grok is also clearly a helpful ideological stance for Musk in his lawsuit and general criticisms of OpenAI.Read More
