Even while the AI headlines seem to be all about chatbots, image creators, and similar, the giant innovation steps are non-tech:
a. A "double neural bypass" with AI restoring movement in a quadriplegic individual. https://bit.ly/3rTPiSk
b. An AI Lawyerbot resolving certain types of legal cases https://bit.ly/43RumIP
c. A Genie that can create proteins with applications that may help treat diseases like Alzheimer's - https://bit.ly/3OmZgmK. Separately, already extinct Neanderthal proteins are recreated for drug development - https://lnkd.in/g83X_7H8
d. Google's new vision-language-action model that is transforming robotic intelligence - https://bit.ly/3OFiNQI
e. Apart from advances in Robotics, Google's downstream research projects continue to impress. A good, detailed piece on Med-PALM at https://bit.ly/44OTnpq and a promising research article on longer-range weather forecasting system GraphCast at https://bit.ly/44Q0aPz
And these are all from the last few days.
