Megan Sauer You might think OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, head of the company that makes ChatGPT, uses artificial intelligence chatbots in highly complex ways. Not necessarily, according to Altman himself. “I use [AI] in the boring ways,” he told Wharton organizational psychologist Adam Grant’s “ReThinking” podcast, in an episode that published last month. “I use it for like, ‘Help me process all of this email’ or ’Help me summarize this document.” Altman is in good company: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, whose company makes many of the high-powered computer chips that power AI large language models, primarily uses chatbots to help…
Renee Onque Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, there has been a steady increase in the number of healthcare workers quitting their jobs. And though the industry is focused on hiring, the burden on the remaining doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals is still a heavy one. “We have fewer and fewer people in healthcare. We saw a huge attrition of doctors and nurses post-Covid, and our patients and our community’s getting older,” says Nishit Patel, the vice president and chief medical informatics officer at Tampa General Hospital. “The math doesn’t work unless you have something that…
Jeney Kleeman Noland Arbaugh’s life changed in a fraction of a second in June 2016. He was a 22-year-old student, working at a kids’ summer camp in upstate New York, when he went swimming in a lake. He can’t tell me exactly what happened, but thinks one of his friends must have accidentally struck him very hard in the side of his head as they ran into the water and plunged beneath the surface. When he woke up face down in the water, unable to move or breathe, Noland immediately knew he was paralysed. But he didn’t panic. He felt…
Leading generative artificial intelligence company OpenAI unveiled a new AI tool on Sunday named "Deep Research," designed to perform multi-step online research for complex tasks. The tool leverages a specialized version of OpenAI's upcoming o3 model, tailored for web browsing and data analysis. Users can input a prompt, and OpenAI's ChatGPT will search, analyze, and synthesize various online sources—including text, images, and PDFs—to generate a detailed report comparable to the work of a research analyst. OpenAI highlighted the tool's efficiency, stating, "It accomplishes in tens of minutes what would take a human many hours." However, the company also noted that…
Suri Nuthalapati Key Takeaways Reliable data is the cornerstone of successful AI-driven decision-making and innovation. Data governance, modern architectures and automation ensure data quality and reliability for AI. AI-powered insights depend on breaking silos, mitigating bias and prioritizing data ethics. As AI transforms various industries, its effectiveness hinges on a single, vital factor: reliable data. Without a solid data foundation, even the most sophisticated AI systems can struggle to deliver results. Data is the lifeblood of AI. Machine learning models, predictive analytics and other AI-driven tools rely on accurate, timely and relevant data to function effectively. Poor-quality data can lead…
An Alabama woman passed a major milestone Saturday to become the longest living recipient of a pig organ transplant – healthy and full of energy with her new kidney for 61 days and counting. “I’m superwoman,” Towana Looney told The Associated Press, laughing about outpacing family members on long walks around New York City as she continues her recovery. “It’s a new take on life.” Looney’s vibrant recovery is a morale boost in the quest to make animal-to-human transplants a reality. Only four other Americans have received hugely experimental transplants of gene-edited pig organs – two heartsand two kidneys –…
Renowned visionary English physician William Harvey wrote in 1651 about how our blood contains all the secrets of life. "And so I conclude that blood lives and is nourished of itself and in no way depends on any other part of the body as being prior to it or more excellent," he wrote. "So that from this we may perceive the causes not only of life in general … but also of longer or shorter life, of sleeping and waking, of skill, of strength and so forth." Kevin Watt, team leader of the Heart Regeneration and Disease Laboratory at the…
OpenAI has introduced a novel way to interact with its popular ChatGPT artificial intelligence system through traditional phone calls and messaging platforms. The company announced Wednesday that users can now access ChatGPT by dialing 1-800-CHATGPT (1-800-242-8478) or through WhatsApp messaging. The service offers U.S. callers 15 minutes of free access per month, while WhatsApp messaging capabilities are available to users worldwide. According to OpenAI, this initiative aims to make their AI technology more accessible through familiar communication channels. This launch is part of OpenAI's recent series of major announcements during their 12-day release event, which included the official debut of…
OpenAI has expanded its artificial intelligence capabilities by releasing Sora, its text-to-video generative AI model, to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users. First introduced in February and previously limited to safety testers, Sora Turbo is now available at no additional cost to premium subscribers. The Microsoft-backed company aims to compete with similar text-to-video technologies from Meta, Google, and Stability AI. Users can generate videos up to 20 seconds long in 1080p resolution, with options for widescreen, vertical, and square formats. OpenAI has implemented several safeguards with the launch, including blocking the creation of harmful content such as child sexual abuse materials…
