In healthcare establishments, the procedure rooms, like operating rooms (ORs), interventional radiology rooms, and cath lab rooms are among the most challenging spaces to support, largely due to the high volume of intricate and costly equipment they contain. Maintaining such complex equipment requires special attention, not only to ensure positive patient health outcomes but also…
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming various sectors, with the healthcare industry being one of the major benefactors. The benefits of AI in healthcare range from improving patient outcomes, enhancing care team coordination, to reducing staff burnout.
AI boosts patient results by increasing the efficiency of patient workflows and decreasing hospital stay lengths for conditions such as…
Google’s DeepMind has developed a new benchmarking system called Gecko that evaluates artificial intelligence (AI) text to image (T2I) models. In the past, other AI models like DALL-E and Midjourney have improved with every release, yet determining which one performs best has often been a subjective process, since different models may excel in different areas.…
Boston Dynamics, a pioneer in robotics innovation for several decades, has introduced its latest product – the fully electric Atlas robot. Marking the retirement of its hydraulic Atlas, the new electric version ushers in a fresh phase of transformative, realistic applications across different sectors.
Boston Dynamics had begun Atlas's development over ten years ago, at a…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is significantly transforming the healthcare industry, addressing challenges in areas such as diagnostics and treatment planning. Large Language Models (LLMs) are emerging as a revolutionary tool in this sector, capable of deciphering and understanding complex health data. However, the intricate nature of medical data and the need for accuracy and efficiency in…
Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO), initially designed for continuous control tasks, is widely used in reinforcement learning (RL) applications, like fine-tuning generative models. However, PPO's effectiveness is based on a series of heuristics for stable convergence, like value networks and clipping, adding complexities in its implementation.
Adapting PPO to optimize complex modern generative models with billions of…
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs), which combine text and visual data processing, enhance the ability of artificial intelligence to understand and interact with the world. However, most open-source MLLMs are limited in their ability to process complex visual inputs and support multiple languages which can hinder their practical application.
A research collaboration from several Chinese institutions…
Amazon announced the General Availability of Amazon Q, a powerful generative AI-powered assistant designed to accelerate software development and leverage companies’ internal data. Expressing confidence in the tool's capabilities, Dr. Swami Sivasubramanian, vice president of Artificial Intelligence and Data at AWS, said Amazon Q has shown potential to make employees over 80% more productive.

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is capable of transforming customer experiences across industries. It provides a set of comprehensive capabilities across three key layers: the infrastructure for training models and producing predictions, tools for building robust AI applications, and innovative applications that are game-changing. The emphasis in this discussion will be on the top application layer.…
Amazon has introduced a generative AI call summarization feature to its Transcribe Call Analytics product. The new feature means customer service representatives no longer need to manually chronicle their interactions with customers, which can often account for up to a third of total call time.
The additional capability will reduce customer waiting times and improve efficiencies…
