Why Nvidia’s Share Price Could Keep Climbing Beyond This Year

2024 has been a great year for artificial intelligence and particularly for big firms in the space like Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA), whose stocks have gained significantly since January. Despite a recent drop in some shares, analysts are still optimistic when it comes to Nvidia’s stock, expecting that it’ll gain more as demand for the firm’s chips continues to surpass their supply. Jensen Huang, the firm’s CEO, told investors in November that the era of artificial intelligence was here and that the firm was poised to gain as computing scale continued to grow. Of 21 analysts, 20 hold a buy…

Central Banks Are Hoarding Gold—Should You Follow Their Lead?

Central banks around the world have been ramping up their accumulation of gold, creating one of the most significant market shifts in years. Over the last two years, governments added over 2,000 tonnes of gold to their reserves (https://ibn.fm/U1IaY)—a pace not seen in the last 20 years. While economic headlines often focus on inflation or interest rate cycles, this relentless accumulation of gold reveals something deeper: a global move to hedge against uncertainty and challenge the dominance of traditional reserve currencies like the U.S. dollar. For investors, it raises an obvious question—if the biggest financial institutions on the planet are…

AI Model Scores Highly in Detecting Skin Cancer

Melanoma is a dangerous type of skin cancer that develops from the cells that produce melanin, known as melanocytes. This cancer can develop anywhere on the skin, although it’s most common on the backs of men and legs of women. It can manifest as a new spot or a change in an existing freckle or mole. Symptoms of melanoma include: Changes in color An unusual border Uneven edges or shape Changes in symptoms, like bleeding or new itchiness Changes in size New research published last month discussed a revolutionary artificial intelligence model that could transform how melanoma is detected. The…

AI is Being Trained to Spot Anomalies During Tests in the Medical Sector

Audra Moran, the head of a global charity (“OCRA”) focused on researching ovarian cancer, says her area of expertise is underfunded and very deadly. Most cases of this disease originate within the fallopian tubes and spread to the ovaries. The problem is, by the time the malignancy spreads to the ovaries, there is a high likelihood that it has also spread to other parts of the body. This is why early detection is critical as life-saving interventions can be carried out. The life-changing window of detection is approximately 5 years before the onset of ovary cancer symptoms, but it is…

AI Could Help in Preventing Diabetes-Linked Blindness

Diabetic retinopathy is a severe eye condition that can cause blindness in individuals with diabetes. It develops when high levels of blood sugar damage blood vessels found in the retina. American guidelines encourage individuals with type II diabetes to be screened at diagnosis, then once every year if no issue comes up. On the other hand, the NHS encourages diabetics to go for eye screening every 1 or 2 years. To screen for the condition, health professionals take pictures of the eye’s rear interior wall. While screening can help prevent vision loss, not every patient can access these services, primarily…

Unpacking What AI Agents Are, What They Do

Artificial intelligence agents are best defined as software powered by AI that completes different tasks that an individual asks them to do. Last month, Perplexity rolled out an artificial intelligence agent that assists individuals with their shopping for the holidays. Soon after, Project Mariner was released by Google to complete tasks like finding recipes, shopping for home items, and finding hotels and flights, among others. While this seems easy enough to understand, inadequate clarity on how to classify these agents makes it complicated. For Google, the agents are task-based assistants while for Asana, AI agents may play the role of…

Lawsuit Filed as AI Chatbot Goes Rogue, Advises Kid to Kill His Parents

A court in Texas has received a lawsuit that claims that an AI chatbot told a teenager that murdering his parents was a ‘reasonable response’ to them restricting his screen time. The lawsuit was filed by the boy’s family against Character.ai, with Google, whose parent company is Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG), being named as another defendant. In the suit, the family accused those technology platforms of promoting violence which negatively impacts the parent-child relationship while exacerbating health issues like anxiety and depression among teenagers. The conversation between the AI chatbot and the boy, aged seventeen, took a turn…

US Defense Department Unveils Initiatives to Expedite Adoption of AI Technologies

The Chief Digital and AI office at the Pentagon has launched a rapid fielding effort to pave the way for different initiatives geared at expediting the DoD’s adoption of AI capabilities. Different units within the Pentagon will work together on an initial four AI pilot projects looking into how generative AI can be integrated into DoD enterprise management and warfighting use cases. These four pilot projects form part of the Pentagon’s wider plan to leverage emerging technologies, so that major enablers in the Department of Defense and those who fight wars can benefit from the advantages that these technologies are…

Study Says Readers Distrust AI News

A new study has determined that readers have less trust in news credibility when they find out that artificial intelligence has been used in some way to generate an article. Researchers from the University of Kansas posit that understanding how and what technology contributed to news as well as how this could be revealed to readers in a way they understood needed to be resolved. The study was led by Associate professor Alyssa Appelman and Assistant Professor Steve Bien-Aimé who conducted an experiment where they showed readers a news story about aspartame and how safe it was for human consumption.…
