Microsoft Announces New AI Tools To Help Doctors Deliver Better Care
|
Microsoft announced new data and artificial intelligence products that aim to help health-care organizations easily access and learn from the mountains of information collected by doctors and hospitals. The health care and life sciences industry is responsible for generating more than 30% of all data produced globally. But it can be challenging to leverage all that information since it is stored across a variety of different systems and formats. Around 97% of all the data generated by hospitals remains unused. To help address this issue, Microsoft said it developed new health-care-specific tools in Fabric, a data and analytics platform the company announced in May. It can combine data from sources such as electronic health records, images, lab systems, medical devices and claims systems so organizations can standardize it and access it in the same place.

Meta Is Paying The Celebrity Faces Behind Its AI Chatbots As Much As $5 Million
|
Meta is paying one top creator as much as $5 million over two years for six hours of work in a studio to use their likeness as an AI assistant. While the company has its own AI chatbot similar to ChatGPT, it also introduced 28 new ones with different personalities that use celebrities' images. For example, Kendall Jenner's likeness is used for Billie, who is portrayed as a big sister to give users advice. And Tom Brady plays Bru, a chatbot for debating sports. Meta has also brought onboard creators like MrBeast, the most-subscribed individual on YouTube, and the TikTok star Charli D'Amelio. Right now, the AI assistants are only text-based but Meta's announcement video featured clips of the celebrities speaking as their AI counterparts.

Character.AI Introduces Group Chats Where People And Multiple AIs Can Talk To Each Other
|
Character.AI, the a16z-backed AI chatbot startup from ex-Google AI researchers, is out with a new feature for its subscribers. The chatbot platform, which offers customizable AI companions with distinct personalities and tools to make your own, is offering a group chat experience where users and their friends can chat with multiple AI characters at once. The Character Group Chat feature, as it’s called, allows users to create a group chat with their favorite AI characters only or it can feature a mix of both humans and AI companions. The idea is that users will be able to create social connections with friends, or share ideas and collaborate in real time, as in any other group chat experience, but with their AI companions now in the mix.
