A.I. can kill your business in an instant. Just ask the CEO of Chegg

Posted by in categories: business, robotics/AI

“The reason I was invited on is I’m the poster child for getting your ass kicked in the public markets by A.I. since I lost 40% of value in five minutes,” Rosensweig said. “So for those of you who didn’t want to take that, I took it for you,” Rosensweig said with apparent sarcasm. “My pleasure.”

Chegg’s new A.I. tool, called CheggMate, will be a personal learning assistant for students that creates bespoke lesson plans. Trained on a set of 100 million correct answers to 17 million new questions posed by students each year over the past decade, the A.I. will create a tailored learning experience for students, taking into account their learning style, the date of their exam or deadline, and even how they’re feeling that day, among other factors. It will also connect students to remote study groups and help them find job opportunities.

“Just imagine the following scenario,” Rosensweig said, “you start to have a conversation with somebody that knows you, knows how you’re feeling that day, knows what you’re studying, knows when your midterm is, knows what you’re good at, what you’re bad at, builds you a personalized plan, advocates for you.”

Alzheimer’s diagnosis revamp embraces rating scale similar to cancer

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience

July 16 (Reuters) — Alzheimer’s disease experts are revamping the way doctors diagnose patients with the progressive brain disorder — the most common type of dementia — by devising a seven-point rating scale based on cognitive and biological changes in the patient.

The proposed guidelines, unveiled by experts on Sunday in a report issued at an Alzheimer’s Association conference in Amsterdam, embrace a numerical staging system assessing disease progression similar to the one used in cancer diagnoses. They also eliminate the use of terms like mild, moderate and severe.

The revamp — replacing guidelines issued in 2018 — was prompted by the increased availability of tests detecting key Alzheimer’s-related proteins such as beta amyloid in the blood and new treatments that require confirmation of disease pathology prior to use.

WEBB telescope finds 13 billion year-old active black hole

Posted by in category: cosmology

The James Webb Space Telescope has delivered yet another astounding discovery, spying an active supermassive black hole deeper into the universe than has ever been recorded.

The black hole lies within CEERS 1,019 — an extremely old galaxy likely formed 570 million years after the big bang — making it more than 13 billion years old. And scientists were perplexed to find just how small the celestial object’s central black hole measures.

“This black hole clocks in at about 9 million solar masses,” according to a NASA news release. A solar mass is a unit equivalent to the mass of the sun in our home solar system — which is about 333,000 times larger than the Earth.
