Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT show excellent capabilities in various natural language processing tasks, especially for text generation. The effectiveness of LLMs in summarizing radiology report impressions remains unclear. In this study, we explore the capability of eight LLMs on the radiology report impression summarization. Three types of radiology reports, i.e., CT, PET-CT, and Ultrasound reports, are collected from Peking University Cancer Hospital and Institute. We use the report findings to construct the zero-shot, one-shot, and three-shot prompts with complete example reports to generate the impressions. Besides the automatic quantitative evaluation metrics, we define five human evaluation metrics, i.e., completeness, correctness, conciseness, verisimilitude, and replaceability, to evaluate the semantics of the generated impressions. Two thoracic surgeons (ZSY and LB) and one radiologist (LQ) compare the generated impressions with the reference impressions and score each impression under the five human evaluation metrics. Experimental results show that there is a gap between the generated impressions and reference impressions. Although the LLMs achieve comparable performance in completeness and correctness, the conciseness and verisimilitude scores are not very high. Using few-shot prompts can improve the LLMs' performance in conciseness and verisimilitude, but the clinicians still think the LLMs can not replace the radiologists in summarizing the radiology impressions.

Teddy bears that read your children stories sounds like a premise for a horror film – but one expert says it will become a reality in just five years. Allan Wong, co-founder of toymaker VTech, thinks teddies will be fitted with AI that will offer an alternative to parents reading to their kids. Like a cross between ChatGPT and Furby, the toy would listen to everything the child says and use the data to create personalised bedtime tales just for them. AI-enabled teddies will likely be available in 2028, Wong said, although he admitted the possibilities of smart tech are'a little scary'. Smart toys by created Wong's firm have already been the subject of a Which?

With ChatGPT unveiled in November, the tech industry has been working tirelessly to come up with their own version of "generative" artificial intelligence (AI). Google, Elon Musk, Meta, everyone is working on the Open AI tool killer. Now Alibaba, one of the largest e-commerce and cloud computing companies in the world, has recently unveiled its own generative artificial intelligence (AI) model, named Tongyi Qianwen. The model is similar to ChatGPT, the popular AI platform developed by OpenAI that can generate natural language texts based on user inputs. Alibaba plans to integrate Tongyi Qianwen into all its business applications soon, starting with its smart speaker Tmall Genie and its workplace messaging platform DingTalk.

Alibaba's announcement of its new AI-powered service, Tongyi Qianwen, is a significant development in the increasingly competitive large language model space. The Chinese multinational conglomerate, which specializes in e-commerce, retail, internet, and technology, plans to eventually roll out the new software across all its platforms. Tongyi Qianwen is a large language model that generates compelling responses to user prompts. The technology was trained on vast troves of data and is designed to be integrated into Alibaba's Tmall Genie smart speakers and workplace messaging platform DingTalk initially. However, the company has plans to add the technology to all its applications, including e-commerce and mapping services.

China's technology giant Alibaba has unveiled a generative artificial intelligence model – its version of the technology that powers chatbot sensation ChatGPT – and said it would be integrated into all of the company's apps in the near future. The unveiling on Tuesday was swiftly followed by the Chinese government's publication of draft rules outlining how generative artificial intelligence services should be managed. In a demonstration, the AI language model named Tongyi Qianwen – which means "truth from a thousand questions" – drafted invitation letters, planned trip itineraries, and advised shoppers on types of makeup to buy. Tongyi Qianwen will initially be integrated into DingTalk, Alibaba's workplace messaging app and can be used to summarise meeting notes, write emails, and draft business proposals. It will also be added to Tmall Genie, Alibaba's voice assistant. The technology "will bring about big changes to the way we produce, the way we work, and the way we live our lives", CEO Daniel Zhang told the livestreamed event.
