The interplay between politeness and AI performance reveals something fundamental about how modern AI processes information. These models don't simply retrieve facts from a database — they engage in contextual reasoning where a query's social and emotional framing shapes the quality and depth of their responses. When customers interact politely with AI assistants, they unknowingly ...Full article
Liver disease affects 4.5 million people in the U.S. according to CDC estimates, and it can often be asymptomatic. Researchers at Cedars-Sinai are working to make diagnosis of liver disease easier and faster using an artificial intelligence algorithm. Cedars-Sinai investigators have developed a machine learning model that can identify chronic liver disease from videos taken ...Full article
In September of last year, Intel launched its Xeon 6900P Granite Ridge processors and got themselves back in the game against AMD. This week, Intel continued to expand its processor line with the launch of the Xeon 6500P and Xeon 6700P server processors. The new processors are available in up to 86 cores per socket and can scale ...Full article
OpenAI announced it has expanded access to its Deep Research, its new AI agent designed to conduct complex research. Deep Research debuted earlier this month to users of ChatGPT Pro, the company’s $200/month subscription tier, but is now available to all paid users. “Deep Research is now rolling out to all ChatGPT Plus, Team, Edu, ...Full article
The launch of ChatGPT in November 2022 was a watershed moment in natural language processing (NLP), as it showcased the startling effectiveness of the transformer architecture for understanding and generating textual data. Now we’re seeing something similar happening in the field of computer vision with the rise of pre-trained large vision models. But when will ...Full article
Barely two years since GenAI burst onto the scene, it has brought about numerous innovations across industries, including scientific breakthroughs and unprecedented efficiency in automation and data processing. Large language models (LLMs) have often been compared to human intelligence. Some AI systems have even outperformed humans in certain tasks. As these models become more advanced, ...Full article
Artificial intelligence (AI) has had a big impact on scientific research and development. From revolutionizing drug discovery to early detection of Alzheimer’s disease, AI has been at the forefront of driving innovation across various scientific disciplines. This is not surprising as unlike some of the traditional research tools, AI can work with vast datasets, recognize ...Full article
Earlier this week, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced a collaboration with global cancer center Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK). Driven by artificial intelligence, high performance computing, and cloud computing, the project aims to address the projected 15 million annual cancer deaths by 2040 by accelerating breakthroughs in cancer research. MSK’s mission is ending cancer ...Full article
AI’s insatiable demand for data has exposed a growing problem: storage infrastructure isn’t keeping up. From training foundation models to running real-time inference, AI workloads require high-throughput, low-latency access to vast amounts of data spread across cloud, edge, and on-prem environments. Traditional storage systems have often struggled under the weight of these demands, creating bottlenecks ...Full article
Most pharmaceuticals are naturally occurring, either directly or indirectly. Yet when it comes to cataloging all of the proteins and enzymes that have evolved on Earth over the past 4 billion years, human knowledge barely scratches the surface. That’s why a company called Basecamp Research is bringing together graph and AI technologies to expand the ...Full article
