Fox News senior medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel predicts that artificial intelligence will help cure cancer within five to 10 years through early detection and personalized treatments.

Google's quantum computing breakthrough on Monday has left the physicist who heads the project a believer in'the idea that we live in a multiverse.' 'Willow,' the tech giant's new quantum chip, succeeded in solving a computational problem so complex it would have taken today's best super-computers an estimated 10 septillion years to solve it -- vastly more than the age of our entire universe. But Google said its new quantum computer solved the puzzle'in under five minutes.' Calling Willow's performance'astonishing,' the leader and founder of Google Quantum AI team, physicist Hartmut Neven, said its high-speed result'lends credence to the notion that quantum computation occurs in many parallel universes.' Neven credited Oxford University physicist David Deutsch for proposing the theory that the successful development of quantum computing would, in effect, affirm the'many worlds interpretation' of quantum mechanics and the existence of a multiverse. Starting in the 1970s, Deutsch, in fact, had walked backwards into becoming a pioneer in the field of quantum computing, less out of interest in the technology itself, than his desire to test the multiverse theory.

'The Five' co-hosts discus Elon Musk's prediction that jobs will become like a'hobby' as AI progresses. Elon Musk is urging people to submit their medical scans to Grok for analysis, but doctors advise using caution when relying on artificial intelligence for health care insights. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO posted on X on Tuesday, encouraging his followers to submit X-rays, PET scans, MRIs or other medical images to the AI chatbot. "This is still early stage, but it is already quite accurate and will become extremely good," Musk wrote. WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)?

Doctors believe Artificial Intelligence is now saving lives, after a major advancement in breast cancer screenings. A.I. is detecting early signs of the disease, in some cases years before doctors would find the cancer on a traditional scan. A chemotherapy alternative called immunotherapy is showing promise in treating cancer -- and a new artificial intelligence tool could help ensure that patients have the best possible experience. Immunotherapy, first approved in 2011, uses the cancer patient's own immune system to target and fight cancer. While it doesn't work for everyone, for the 15% to 20% who do see results, it can be life-saving.

As highly automated vehicles reach higher deployment rates, they find themselves in increasingly dangerous situations. Knowing that the consequence of a crash is significant for the health of occupants, bystanders, and properties, as well as to the viability of autonomy and adjacent businesses, we must search for more efficacious ways to comprehensively and reliably train autonomous vehicles to better navigate the complex scenarios with which they struggle. We therefore introduce a taxonomy of potentially adversarial elements that may contribute to poor performance or system failures as a means of identifying and elucidating lesser-seen risks. This taxonomy may be used to characterize failures of automation, as well as to support simulation and real-world training efforts by providing a more comprehensive classification system for events resulting in disengagement, collision, or other negative consequences. This taxonomy is created from and tested against real collision events to ensure comprehensive coverage with minimal class overlap and few omissions. It is intended to be used both for the identification of harm-contributing adversarial events and in the generation thereof (to create extreme edge- and corner-case scenarios) in training procedures.

Kara Frederick, tech director at the Heritage Foundation, discusses the need for regulations on artificial intelligence as lawmakers and tech titans discuss the potential risks. The way people search for information online could soon be changing as artificial intelligence continues to advance, and with it a new company could dethrone what has long been the king of online searching. "It's certainly conceivable that AI could ultimately replace search, especially if AI can learn what its user wants and deliver more relevant responses," Jon Schweppe, the Policy Director of the American Principles Project, told Fox News Digital while cautioning that there are still a lot of unknowns with the technology. "We are in the nascent stages of the AI revolution and it's still not clear that these companies know how to monetize it." The comments come as new search product called Perplexity has quickly become one of the most talked about platforms in technology, with an AI-driven search function that rivals or even bests traditional search platforms such as Google and Bing, according to a report from the New York Times.

The rapid advance of artificial intelligence technology has raised concerns about eliminating jobs held by humans. Professional photography is now coming into focus as one such potential casualty. "The rapid advancements in AI and image processing are transforming photography from a skill-based art to one that is increasingly technology-driven. This evolution is making high-quality photography accessible to a broader audience, challenging the traditional notion of professional photography as a skill," according to a report published Tuesday by Medium. "As we move further into this AI-driven era, it becomes evident that the role and relevance of professional photography skills, as we have known them, are becoming obsolete."

The rapid development of artificial intelligence has led some to fear dangerous scenarios where the technology is smarter than the humans who created it, but some experts believe AI has already reached that point in certain ways. "If you define it as performing intellectual but repetitive and bounded problems, they already are smarter. The best chess players and GO players are machines. And soon we can train them to do all tasks like that. Examples include legal analysis, simple writing and creating pictures on demand," Phil Siegel, the founder of the Center for Advanced Preparedness and Threat Response Simulation, told Fox News Digital.

Last year saw new artificial intelligence products released at the most rapid pace yet, though predictions of an AI boom on the scale of last decade's tech explosion have yet to come to fruition. "I think 2023 was the year that AI astonished people and 2024 will be the year of retrenchment as people learn the limitations of AI and where various AI systems have the greatest utility," Christopher Alexander, chief analytics officer for Pioneer Development Group, told Fox News Digital. "I think that the race for AI utility has just begun and AI will become a permanent fixture in people's lives. I think that the grand predictions for AI in this past year confused the current state of AI and the future state, which has led to some confusion in the market." Alexander's comments come after what was in many ways a landmark year for AI technology in 2023, with new platforms and developments making headlines throughout the year.

A California family endured a terrifying ordeal when scammers using artificial intelligence fooled them into believing their son had been in a serious accident. Amy Trapp was working a normal day at Mill Valley school near San Francisco when she received a call from an unknown number and picked up the phone to the sound of a voice that she believed to be her son, according to a report from the San Francisco Chronicle. "It was my son's voice on the phone crying, telling me, 'Mom, mom, I've been in a car accident,'" Trapp told the outlet. The mother said she instantly felt a panic and had visions of her son, who was away at college near California's central coast, lying underneath a car or on the side of the road in a pool of his own blood. Instead, another voice came on the phone and told Trapp he was a police officer and that her son, Will, had injured a pregnant woman in the crash and was taken to jail.
