What is vibe coding, should you be doing it, and does it matter?

New Scientist

Getting an AI to write software for you? Want to write software, but haven't got the first clue where to start? Enter "vibe coding", a term that has swept the internet to describe the use of AI tools, including large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, to generate computer code even if you can't program. "Vibe coding basically refers to using generative AI not just to assist with coding, but to generate the entire code for an app," says Noah Giansiracusa at Bentley University in Waltham, Massachusetts. Users ask, or prompt, LLM-based models such as ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot to produce the code for an app or service, and the AI system does all the work.

Farmers Insurance Introduces Mobile Robot for Catastrophe Claims, Property Inspections

#artificialintelligence

Farmers Insurance (Woodland Hills, Calif.) has announced plans to use a digitally controlled mobile robot to assist with in-field catastrophe claims handling and non-catastrophe property inspections, with the aim of helping to improve the safety and efficiency of both while becoming one of the first national property/casualty insurers to deploy a robotic quadruped. Created by Boston Dynamics (Waltham, Mass.) and customized for Farmers, the robot--named "Spot"--will be used by Farmers claims personnel as early as fall 2021 to help assess damage from catastrophes such as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and wildfires. Farmers reports that Spot will be equipped with a variety of sensors and cameras, including a 360-degree camera and site documentation software to help reduce the time required to capture data and augment the in-field claims review process. The robot may also help Farmers claims adjusters collect critical data and assist with claims handling optimization to serve impacted customers more efficiently, according to a statement from the insurer. In addition to utilizing Spot for in-field claims use, Farmers says it will explore applications that could help first-responder organizations during scenarios such as post-event search and rescue operations, accessing areas to assess danger for first responders or others, and/or pre-inspections to assess safety for anyone in the general vicinity.


It's Harder Than Ever to Find Truly New Customer Insights

#artificialintelligence

Regardless of the industry that you're in, it is harder than ever to find truly new customer insights. Research budgets are smaller, the low-hanging fruit has already been picked so you need to dig deeper to find new insights, and traditional research can be expensive and time-consuming. But artificial intelligence, or machine learning, is changing the game, according to John Mitchell, president and managing principal at Applied Marketing Science, a Waltham, MA-based research and marketing firm that helps its clients better understand and incorporate the voice of the customer into product development. Between social media, online customer reviews, and customer service calls, companies already have billions of user-generated content (UGC). "Consumers are freely volunteering insights about products and services at the moment of truth," Mitchell told BIOMEDevice Boston attendees on Tuesday.


NeuroMetrix CEO reflects on the art of AI in the art of healing

ZDNet

Identifying cat pictures is a no-brainer for AI, but applying machine learning to healthcare is a delicate matter of making choices about what will help a person versus what is merely interesting research. That fact is expressed in the approach to artificial intelligence taken by a Waltham, Mass-based company called NeuroMetrix, which sells a novel gadget to ease chronic pain. CEO Shai Gozani, an M.D., PhD, is enthusiastic about AI, but not religious; in fact, he has a sense of humor about the recent resurgence in popularity of neural networks. "I was doing computer science in the mid 80s at Berkeley, and AI was big," Gozani recalled during an interview last week with ZDNet. "And then I went to medical school, and two or three years ago, AI was suddenly big again, and I said to myself, Hey, this is the same thing that I heard about at that course I went to back then, between those Bruce Springsteen concerts!"


Brainshark launches AI-powered analysis of sales reps' self-assessment videos - Marketing Land

#artificialintelligence

Brainshark's platform focuses on the training of sales reps, who often upload videos of themselves trying out elevator pitches or answering specific client questions. The problem, Senior Product Manager Mark Yacovone told me, was that Brainshark's client companies said reps weren't getting feedback fast enough because of the volume of videos or their supervisors' schedules. This week, the Waltham, Massachusetts-based company is adding AI to its platform for the first time, in the form of a Machine Analysis engine that automatically screens the videos to provide an initial layer of feedback. The company says no one else offers this kind of automated machine analysis and feedback of self-assessment videos.


Black Mirror-style robots can now chase you and find its way around

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Incredible footage has revealed the terrifying capabilities of Black Mirror-style robots, branded'future death machines'. Boston Dynamics has posted two videos showing off the new skills of two of its advanced automatons. In one, Atlas, a humanoid robot, can be seen jogging around a grassy field, before leaping over a log that's obstructing its path. The canine automatons look eerily similar to those featured in an episode of the sci-fi series, where mechanised creatures hunt humans in a post-apocalyptic future. Boston Dynamics, based in Waltham, Massachusetts, manually steered SpotMini around its test course to prepare for the demonstration.
