Two AIs just matched or beat doctors on diagnosis. The catch: none of the patients were real.

Two AI systems have matched, and in places beaten, doctors at diagnosing patients and planning their treatment. Then again, none of the patients were real. The results, published in Nature this week, are some of the strongest evidence yet that specialist medical AI is closing in on human clinicians. They are also a textbook case […]

MIT built a memory system that lets robots remember where you left your keys

Robots are still surprisingly bad at remembering where things are. You might recall that your keys were on the kitchen counter last night. A robot working beside you would struggle to connect that object and location in a useful way. MIT researchers built a system called DAAAM to fix that. DAAAM stands for Describe Anything, […]

PsiQuantum breaks ground in Australia on what it says will be the world’s first utility-scale quantum computer

PsiQuantum has broken ground on a facility in Moreton Bay, Queensland, where it plans to build and deploy what it calls the world’s first utility-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer. The site will eventually hold tens of thousands of photonic quantum chips cooled by one of the largest cryogenic systems ever constructed for quantum computing. Victor Peng, PsiQuantum’s […]
