Study Finds That ChatGPT Outperforms Doctors at Medical Diagnosis

New research has determined that AI chatbots may be better at diagnoses than actual doctors. The research objective was to find out whether doctors could improve their diagnoses using ChatGPT. The research involved 50 doctors, 24 of whom were residents while the rest were attending physicians. Each physician was asked to diagnose six case histories, with the researchers grading their ability to come up with diagnoses and give reasons why they excluded them or chose them. Everyone was allowed to make three possible diagnoses while offering evidence to support their decision. They were also required to list the steps they…

AI is Helping to Ease the Job Application Process

Several companies are touting novel artificial intelligence technologies that promise to revolutionize the job-search process. This development has emerged at a time when the rate at which people are looking for new jobs has reached very high levels. For example, data reveals that at least 28% of U.S. residents were recently job-hunting. Jeff, a well-followed TikTok user, emphasized that as hiring managers incorporated more AI functions in the hiring process, applicants also need to go the extra mile in order to stand a chance of being hired. In his videos, Jeff walks viewers through the AI-backed processes. He adds that…

New AI Model Uses Graphs to Predict How Innovation Will Happen in Future

A new technique developed by mechanical and environmental engineering professor Markus J. Buehler will allow us to use artificial intelligence to predict how innovation will occur in the future. Prof. Buehler of MIT explains that by combining graph-based computational tools with generative artificial intelligence, one can generate entirely new designs, concepts, and ideas. This, he notes, can be used to speed up scientific discovery by teaching generative artificial intelligence how to make new forecasts about unimaginable designs, concepts and ideas. For his research, Buehler used graphs developed using techniques inspired by category theory to teach his model to understand associations…

The Safe-Haven Asset Crypto Investors Are Missing

In recent years, cryptocurrency has captured the imagination of investors, who have embraced it as a revolutionary asset class offering high-growth potential. With Bitcoin and other digital currencies reaching new heights, many investors have turned to the crypto market as their hedge against inflation, government intervention and traditional assets. But there’s a time-tested asset that deserves more attention and has also been reaching all-time highs this year: gold. Much like Bitcoin, gold’s scarcity is one of the key factors driving its value. The finite nature of both assets appeals to investors who are drawn to the idea of owning something…

Particle Launches AI App to Support Publishers

The adoption of artificial intelligence is viewed as a positive by many industries, except some, like the media industry. This tech has seen reporters get replaced with copy generated by AI, with other AI firms using work from actual journalists to meet the data demands of their chatbots without compensating the publishers. Despite this, one start-up believes that artificial intelligence may be used to help consumers delve deeper into stories while finding ways to support journalists. Particle, the start-up in question, was founded in 2023 by Sara Beykpour. Beykpour is a former senior director of Product Management at Twitter (now…
