A new AI model by Caristo Diagnostics, an Oxford University spinout, is being hailed as revolutionary for identifying people at risk of heart attacks within the next decade. The AI detects heart inflammation invisible on CT scans. Supported by NHS England, a pilot project is running in hospitals in Oxford, Milton Keynes, Leicester, Liverpool, and Wolverhampton, with a decision on NHS adoption expected soon.

The AI, called CaRi-Heart, analyzes routine CT scans to detect coronary inflammation and plaque, verified by trained operators. Increased inflammation links to higher cardiovascular disease and heart attack risk. The Orfan study found those with coronary inflammation had a significantly higher risk of fatal cardiac events within 10 years, and AI use led to preventive treatments for 45% of at-risk patients.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence is assessing the AI for NHS rollout, with reviews also underway in the US and approvals in Europe and Australia.

CROWDSTRIKE WINDOWS OUTAGE

A widespread IT outage has impacted numerous global institutions, including hospitals, major banks, media outlets, and airlines. International airports in India, Hong Kong, the UK, and the US have experienced issues, leading to grounded flights and delays. Hospitals have canceled surgeries, and emergency services, like Alaska's 911 system, have been affected. The cause has been identified as a defective software update by cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike for its Microsoft Windows hosts, not a cyberattack. Microsoft has addressed related issues with its services. The outage has caused disruptions in broadcast networks, supermarkets, and GP services globally, affecting travel plans and requiring manual processing at airports.

Major tech companies like Apple, Salesforce, and Anthropic have been found to have trained their AI models using tens of thousands of YouTube videos, including those from prominent creators like MrBeast and Marques Brownlee. This was done using a dataset called "The Pile" created by EleutherAI, which includes scraped YouTube captions among other sources. The creators whose content was used were largely unaware and have expressed frustration at the unauthorized use of their work. While some argue this scraping is fair use, others, including creators and legal experts, question whether it violates YouTube's terms of service. This issue highlights ongoing concerns about the control and consent over intellectual property in the era of AI and big data.

Time is precious; let's not squander it.

K-pop group Seventeen is experimenting with AI for their latest album Maestro, using the technology for creating music videos and potentially writing lyrics. Member Woozi sees AI as a tool for innovation rather than a threat, aiming to evolve with technology. Fans are divided: some worry that AI might dilute the personal connection between artists and their music, while others are open to its benefits for overcoming creative blocks. The future impact of AI on K-pop will depend on how well these technologies balance innovation with maintaining artistic authenticity.

A driverless ride-hailing car hit a pedestrian in Wuhan, China. Social media sides with Baidu, the carmaker, as the pedestrian reportedly crossed against the light. Baidu claims the car started moving with a green light and made minor contact. The pedestrian was hospitalized, but no serious injuries were found. This incident highlights the challenges autonomous vehicles face in complex traffic situations. Baidu’s Apollo Go, with 300 cars, leads China's autonomous driving efforts.

Japanese scientists have achieved a breakthrough in robotics by attaching living skin to robot faces, enhancing their realism and functionality. Inspired by human tissue structures, the team from Tokyo University developed a method using lab-grown cells to create soft, self-healing artificial skin. They overcame previous challenges of skin detachment by using V-shaped perforations and a collagen gel to securely bind the skin to complex, moving surfaces.
