New AI tool predicts death and complications after heart surgery
“We combined the predictive model with patient feedback from the PCI Patient Advisory Council to transform machine learning into this patient-centered, individualized risk prediction tool,” said senior author Hitinder Gurm, MBBS, interim chief medical officer at U-M Health.
The tool can help you and your doctor make informed decisions about your treatment. It can also educate you about the potential risks and benefits of PCI. By using the tool, you can have more confidence and control over your health.
The researchers hope that the tool will improve the quality and safety of PCI, and ultimately, save lives.
Motile Living Biobots Self‐Construct from Adult Human Somatic Progenitor Seed Cells
Anthrobots: These remarkable spheroid-shaped multicellular biological robots, or biobots, are not the products of advanced robotics laboratories but are instead born from the inherent potential of adult human somatic progenitor seed cells.
Advanced Science is a high-impact, interdisciplinary science journal covering materials science, physics, chemistry, medical and life sciences, and engineering.
After AI’s summer: What’s next for artificial intelligence?
For example, the New York Times states: “The AI industry this year is set to be defined by one main characteristic: A remarkably rapid improvement of the technology as advancements build upon one another, enabling AI to generate new kinds of media, mimic human reasoning in new ways and seep into the physical world through a new breed of robot.”
Ethan Mollick, writing in his One Useful Thing blog, takes a similar view: “Most likely, AI development is actually going to accelerate for a while yet before it eventually slows down due to technical or economic or legal limits.”
The year ahead in AI will undoubtedly bring dramatic changes. Hopefully, these will include advances that improve our quality of life, such as the discovery of life saving new drugs. Likely, the most optimistic promises will not be realized in 2024, leading to some amount of pullback in market expectations. This is the nature of hype cycles. Hopefully, any such disappointments will not bring about another AI winter.
AI can copy HANDWRITING — can you tell it apart from the real thing?
AI tools like ChatGPT can draft letters, tell jokes and even give legal advice – but only in the form of computerized text.
Now, scientists have created an AI that can imitate human handwriting, which could herald fresh issues regarding fraud and fake documents.
Amazingly, the results are almost indistinguishable from the real thing drafted by human hands.
DeepMind’s Latest AI System, AlphaGeometry, Aces High-School Math
(Bloomberg) — Google DeepMind, Alphabet Inc.’s research division, said it has taken a “crucial step” towards making artificial intelligence as capable as humans. It involves solving high-school math problems.

BrainChip demonstrates its neuromorphic processor on Microchip’s 32-bit MPU at CES 2024
BrainChip, a neuromorphic computing device provider, will present a demonstration featuring its Akida neuromorphic processor operating on Microchips’ embedded platform at CES 2024. This will utilize two evaluation boards, namely Microchip’s SAMv71 Ultra board and SAMA7G54-EK board, with a particular focus on showcasing the efficiency of the Akida neuromorphic processor when integrated with a 32-bit microprocessor unit. BrainChip aims to highlight its capabilities in always-on machine learning tasks, including keyword spotting and visual wake words.
“We look forward to demonstrating the potential and ease of integrating Akida for always-on machine learning applications on embedded devices at CES,” says Rob Telson, vice president of Ecosystem and Partnerships at BrainChip.
Neuromorphic computing systems are designed to execute parallel and distributed processing, mimicking the neural structure and functioning of the human brain. BrainChip Akida is an example of such a neuromorphic computing processor, which is designed for edge applications. It operates on an event-based principle, remaining dormant until activated, thereby reducing power consumption.
Google Scientists Discovered 380,000 New Materials Using Artificial Intelligence
New advancements in technology frequently necessitate the development of novel materials – and thanks to supercomputers and advanced simulations, researchers can bypass the time-consuming and often inefficient process of trial-and-error.
The Materials Project, an open-access database founded at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) in 2011, computes the properties of both known and predicted materials. Researchers can focus on promising materials for future technologies – think lighter alloys that improve fuel economy in cars, more efficient solar cells to boost renewable energy, or faster transistors for the next generation of computers.
