Well, I've got good news for you - ChatGPT is here to revolutionize the way we conduct user research. Recently, my team and I have been working on a new patient record interface for a big hospital in Israel (no pressure, right?), and we knew that creating use cases for different types of users was going to be a crucial step in the process. So, Instead of spending hours and hours writing them out by hand, we decided to put AI to the test! We did our brainstorming like usual, we identified the personas, their roles, jobs to be done, and only then we used ChatGPT to generate the use cases, and it was like having a wizard at our disposal! Chat responded with a variety of scenarios that we were able to use in the next brainstorming session.

In 2023, there are cameras and microphones that match and surpass the capabilities of human sight and sound. But for all of our technological advancements, humans haven't quite managed to build a better nose. After all, evolution has had millions of years to perfect the receptors humans, animals and inspects use to identify odors. But, with the help of nature, scientists may have made a breakthrough on that front. In a study published Monday in the journal Biosensor and Bioelectronics, a group of researchers from Tel Aviv University (via Neuroscience News) said they recently created a robot that can identify a handful of smells with 10,000 times more sensitivity than some specialized electronics.

While artificial intelligence (AI) models are becoming increasingly advanced, training and running these models on conventional computer hardware is very energy consuming. Engineers worldwide have thus been trying to create alternative, brain-inspired hardware that could better support the high computational load of AI systems. Researchers at Technion–Israel Institute of Technology and the Peng Cheng Laboratory have recently created a new neuromorphic computing system supporting deep belief neural networks (DBNs), a generative and graphical class of deep learning models. This system, outlined in Nature Electronics, is based on silicon-based memristors, energy-efficient devices that can both store and process information. Memristors are electrical components that can switch or regulate the flow of electrical current in a circuit, while also remembering the charge that passed through it.

A chatbot symptom checker developed in Israel performs better than seven rival products, according to an independent study. Symptom checkers use AI to simulate a conversation with a doctor, and provide a more accurate diagnosis than Googling a series of symptoms. However, physicians are skeptical to trust them, as they were designed to be used by patients rather than by doctors making diagnoses. A new study published in the International Journal of Medical Informatics (IJMI) found that Israeli-based Kahun gathered the best and most relevant insights. The researchers assessed the data-gathering capabilities of eight chatbot symptom checkers – K Health, Babylon, ADA, Buoy, Kahun, Mediktor, Symptomae, and Your.MD.

Netanyahu spoke to Fox News Digital following the release of his new memoir, "Bibi: My Story." Officials in Israel say Iran is responsible for a drone strike that hit an Israel-associated, Liberian-flagged oil tanker off the coast of Oman on Tuesday. The tanker, the Pacific Zircon, sustained minor damage to its hull with no injuries or spillage of the gas oil cargo, Israeli-controlled Eastern Pacific Shipping said Wednesday, and an Israeli official said Iran was responsible. Three maritime sources told Reuters that a drone was suspected to have attacked the tanker. An Israeli official said Iran was responsible for the attack by using a Shahed-136 drone, the type it has been supplying to Russia for use in its war against Ukraine.

'Megathreats' Author and New York University Stern School of Business Professor Nouriel Roubini joins Yahoo Finance's All Markets Summit to discuss the growth of artificial intelligence and its implications for the labor market and global economy. But you're saying that this could be caused by supply constraints. NOURIEL ROUBINI: Well, in the 1970s, we had two negative supply shocks. One was the Yom Kippur War between Israel and the Arab states that led to a spike in oil prices in '73. The second one was the Iranian revolution that led again a spike in oil prices.

Anduril Industries has announced the launch of Mobile Sentry, a ruggedized, mobile platform that uses Artificial Intelligence for highly accurate, persistent autonomous ground or air awareness. Mobile Sentry leverages AI-enabled edge processing, continuous 360 monitoring and a variety of radars and sensors to autonomously identify, detect and track objects of interest in a given environment. Multi-mission capable, the system can be customized with a variety of sensors, payloads or communications equipment for autonomous force protection and counter UAS at forward-deployed military bases, borders, oil and gas fields or other critical infrastructure. According to Anduril, Mobile Sentry can be positioned, set up, calibrated and operational in under 20 minutes by one operator with no specialized MOS, training or Anduril support required. It is infrastructure independent, with integrated power generation and uninterrupted power supply battery solutions.

Will countries need soldiers and fighter pilots in future conflicts, or will drones do the job? Private companies and governments already own huge databases of our DNA and other biometrics, making it easy for drones equipped with facial recognition to target individuals anywhere. In 2018, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said he survived a drone assassination attempt. And in 2020, Israel assassinated Iran's nuclear programme chief, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, with an autonomous satellite-operated machine gun. Futurist and security consultant Marc Goodman tells host Steve Clemons about the scientific advances that are benefitting humanity – and those that are making the world a darker place.

Moments after US President Joe Biden touches down in Tel Aviv on Wednesday, the Israeli military will show him new hardware it says is essential to confronting Iran: anti-drone lasers. While Israel has long been known for its efforts to thwart Tehran's nuclear ambitions, Israeli officials have increasingly been sounding the alarm over Iran's fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This month, the Israeli military said it had intercepted a total of four unarmed drones headed for an offshore gas rig. It said the drones were Iranian-made and launched by the Lebanese group Hezbollah, which is backed by Tehran. This image grab from a video released by the Israeli army spokesperson's unit on July 2, 2022, reportedly shows a drone launched by Lebanon's Hezbollah movement that was headed towards an offshore gas field in the Mediterranean Photo: AFP As concerns mount over drone warfare, Israel hopes the new "Iron Beam" system will secure its skies. While not yet operational, the military hardware was described as a "game-changer" in April by then-prime minister Naftali Bennett.
