New AI tool predicts death and complications after heart surgery

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, health, robotics/AI

“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.

Re-frame of mind: Do our brains have a built-in sense of ‘grammar’?

Posted by in category: neuroscience

In a new paper published in Nature Neuroscience, Yale Department of Psychiatry’s George Dragoi, MD, PhD, describes how the brain forms a mcellular framework early in development which helps to define who we are and how we process experiences.


Based on years of research, Yale’s George Dragoi argues that our brains develop a cellular template soon after birth that defines how we perceive the world.

After AI’s summer: What’s next for artificial intelligence?

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, economics, law, robotics/AI

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.
