General Motors Co is exploring uses for ChatGPT as part of its broader collaboration with Microsoft Corp, a company executive told Reuters. General Motors Co is exploring uses for ChatGPT as part of its broader collaboration with Microsoft Corp, a company executive told Reuters. "ChatGPT is going to be in everything," GM Vice President Scott Miller said in an interview last week. The chatbot could be used to access information on how to use vehicle features normally found in an owners manual, program functions such as a garage door code or integrate schedules from a calendar, Miller said. "This shift is not just about one single capability like the evolution of voice commands, but instead means that customers can expect their future vehicles to be far more capable and fresh overall when it comes to emerging technologies," a GM spokesperson said on Friday.

To help make real-time diagnoses during surgery, an artificial intelligence tool has been developed, improving the quality of images to increase the accuracy of rapid diagnostics, a new study has shown. According to the study published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, the method leverages artificial intelligence to translate between frozen sections and the gold-standard approach. "We are using the power of artificial intelligence to address an age-old problem at the intersection of surgery and pathology," said the corresponding author of the study Faisal Mahmood, PhD, of the Division of Computational Pathology at US-based Brigham and Women's Hospital. "Making a rapid diagnosis from frozen tissuae samples is challenging and requires specialised training, but this kind of diagnosis is a critical step in caring for patients during surgery," he added. Pathologists use formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples to make final diagnoses – this method preserves tissue in a way that produces high-quality images but is labour-intensive and can take several days, according to the study. Mahmood and co-authors developed a deep-learning model that can be used to translate between frozen sections and more commonly used FFPE tissue.

Matrimony platform Betterhalf.AI announced that it recorded a growth of $2 million in annualised revenue in FY22 with 50% quarterly growth, fuelled by its key matchmaking service. While the matchmaking service drives 70% of the company's revenue, non-matchmaking services like wedding decorations, photography, loans, verification, and astrology drive 30% of its revenue, as per Betterhalf.ai. "The continued momentum of our company speaks the market opportunity we are encashing. Our impressive growth concurs with the trust of our users who have invested in us and we look forward to continuing delivering rich CX and driving ongoing revenue momentum," Pawan Gupta, Co-founder of Betterhalf.ai. Apart from the revenue growth, the app also recorded a 250% growth in its team size by adding 75 full-time employees in six months, the firm said, adding that it is working aggressively to touch $3 million in annualised revenue by the end of FY23.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is on the cusp of driving an agricultural revolution, and helping confront the challenge of feeding our growing global population in a sustainable way. But researchers warn that using new artificial intelligence technologies at scale holds huge risks that are not being considered. Imagine a field of wheat that extends to the horizon, being grown for flour that will be made into bread to feed cities' worth of people. Imagine that all authority for tilling, planting, fertilizing, monitoring, and harvesting this field has been delegated to artificial intelligence: algorithms that control drip-irrigation systems, self-driving tractors, and combine harvesters, clever enough to respond to the weather and the exact needs of the crop. Then imagine a hacker messes things up. A new risk analysis, published recently in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence, warns that the future use of artificial intelligence in agriculture comes with substantial potential risks for farms, farmers, and food security that are poorly understood and under-appreciated.

India, February 15, 2022: Insuremile, India's first rural India focused financial protection marketplace, has raised Pre-Seed funding of $350k with an aim to take insurance services to the hinterland while empowering over 200 million gig-workforce in the country to be part of this success story. The funding round was led by Seeders, an early-stage angel group. Parthiv Neotia, Director, Ambuja Neotia Group and Abhishek Rungta, CEO, Indus Net Technologies from Seeders led this funding round. Mallesh Reddy, Co-Founder, Insuremile said, ''India's gig economy comprising more than 200 million workforces generates significant traction across various industries. At Insuremile, our vision is to provide these gig workers with targeted insurance products aiming at financial security.
