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.

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.

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,…
