AI Pioneer Says Regulatory Brakes Need to Be Placed on AI Development

Speaking during the Digital World Conference focused on AI’s role in social development, leading experts and policymakers warned that the technology’s rapid evolution demands stronger oversight to ensure it benefits society rather than harms it. Professor Geoffrey Hinton cautioned that innovation without proper direction could lead to serious consequences. To illustrate his concern, Hinton compared unchecked AI progress to driving a vehicle without essential controls. He told attendees that lacking brakes is dangerous, but lacking the ability to steer is even worse. The conference, co-hosted by the UN Research Institute for Social Development, took place during a week filled with…

AI Helps San Francisco Regain Top Place in the Tech World

Just a few years ago, San Francisco was widely portrayed as a city in decline. Attention in the American tech scene appeared to be shifting toward Austin, New York, and Miami. That perception has changed sharply with the rise of artificial intelligence, which has pulled the city back into the center of global innovation. OpenAI’s release of ChatGPT marked a turning point. It ignited global interest in AI and triggered a surge of new business creation in the region. Out of roughly 17,000 startups operating in the city, close to 2,000 now focus entirely on AI, reflecting rapid expansion in a short period. In 2023, the city saw the creation of 342 AI…

Study Finds AI Medical Diagnosis Errors Exceed 80%

A new study suggests that generative AI has yet to develop the level of reasoning required for safe use in clinical settings. While recent systems show stronger performance when given detailed patient information, researchers found they still struggle with one of the most critical aspects of medical decision-making. The analysis, conducted by Mass General Brigham researchers, examined how large language models handle diagnostic tasks. Their findings, published in JAMA Network Open, indicate that these systems fall short when it comes to the complex thinking processes doctors rely on in real-world practice. According to co-author Marc Succi, current models are not suitable for independent clinical use. He pointed out that despite steady progress,…
