Alphabet subsidiary Google may have been slower than OpenAI to make its AI capabilities publicly available in the past, but CEO Sundar Pichai is ensuring that the company advances quickly. The chatbot Gemini was introduced by Google's AI lab DeepMind in February. On May 14, at the company's annual developer conference, Pichai demonstrated how Google has started incorporating its state-of-the-art AI systems into its products, including the provision of AI-powered photo searching and summaries of emails and internet search results. On May 8, Google DeepMind unveiled AlphaFold 3, a technology that might completely change drug discovery. The company is still...

New research from Bryter, which involved over 200 doctors from the US and the UK, including neurologists, hematologists, and oncologists, offers unique insights into how pharmaceutical companies are perceived when it comes to the use of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) in the research and development of new medications. These technologies are being used in clinical trials, post-market surveillance, and drug discovery, among other aspects of the drug development process. AI/ML, for example, can help find new drug targets, improve dosage schedules, and even forecast how well a patient will respond to a treatment. The majority of doctors...

The advent of artificial intelligence has significantly changed the landscape of entrepreneurship. The figures say it all. Global AI startups garnered a staggering $50 billion in funding in 2023.

AI is clearly a soft spot for investors, which helps to explain why it's continuing to draw sizable funding throughout the venture capital winter. It makes sense that, at the 2024 Y Combinator demo days, AI accounted for 172 out of 247 projects. The rise of AI: from specialized to essentialAI has advanced significantly since its...

The very famous Royal Society in the UK has warned that using AI in science is likely to make it more difficult to reproduce significant achievements. In its report titled "Science in the age of AI," the 350-year-old organization makes the case that the incorporation of AI into scientific research has obstructed reproducibility—the notion that a specific outcome can be repeated by a different research team in a different location—by limiting access to necessary computing infrastructures and resources, making it difficult to comprehend how AI tools arrive at their conclusions, and by lacking adequate documentation. The IT sector has actively...
