Don’t Stifle AI With Regulation

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, economics, education, government, robotics/AI

Since the public release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, artificial intelligence (AI) has quickly become a driving force in innovation and everyday life, sparking both excitement and concern. AI promises breakthroughs in fields like medicine, education, and energy, with the potential to solve some of society’s toughest challenges. But at the same time, fears around job displacement, privacy, and the spread of misinformation have led many to call for tighter government control.

Many are now seeking swift government intervention to regulate AI’s development in the waning “lame duck” session before the inauguration of the next Congress. These efforts have been led by tech giants, including OpenAI, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, under the guise of securing “responsible development of advanced AI systems” from risks like misinformation and bias. Building on the Biden administration’s executive order to create the U.S. Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute (AISI) and mandate that AI “safety tests,” among other things, be reported to the government, the bipartisan negotiations would permanently authorize the AISI to act as the nation’s primary AI regulatory agency.

The problem is, the measures pushed by these lobbying campaigns favor large, entrenched corporations, sidelining smaller competitors and stifling innovation. If Congress moves forward with establishing a federal AI safety agency, even with the best of intentions, it risks cementing Big Tech’s dominance at the expense of startups. Rather than fostering competition, such regulation would likely serve the interests of the industry’s largest corporations, stifling entrepreneurship and limiting AI’s potential to transform America—and the world—for the better. The unintended consequences are serious: slower product improvement, fewer technological breakthroughs, and severe costs to the economy and consumers.

Tennr Raises $37 Million In Series B Round To Hack Healthcare

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, cybercrime/malcode, robotics/AI

Healthcare start-up Tennr reports a $37 million Series B fundraising round – nine months after raising an $18 million Series A funding round. The young company plans to use machine learning in order to improve patient record keeping, prevent medical error and reduce waiting times for patients. The Series B round was led by Lightspeed Ventures, together with existing investors Andreessen Horowitz and Foundation Capital, and raises the total amount of money raised by the company to $61 million.

Several US healthcare providers have already begun working with the firm, both private doctors’ practices and major clinics and hospitals. These providers receive referrals from primary care providers in different formats to register patients and document their case history. Since providers often compete with each other for patients, there is no standard format used in the industry nationwide, with many companies relying on handwritten documents, messages from private email accounts, and some even using such outdated technology as fax machines. This causes significant delays in the provision of treatment, and increases the likelihood that patients will be misdiagnosed, referred to the wrong clinic or denied access to a specialist whose expertise they require.

Tennr has made it its mission to solve these problems by automating this process: it extracts the relevant information from referrals, no matter what form they’re received in or what technology was used to generate the documents, which not only enables more rapid response times but also creates an unprecedented level of standardization in the medical field, nationally and in the future perhaps globally as well. The company has already processed tens of millions of referrals for patients in the USA, ensuring an appointment with a specialist in a few hours, instead of having to wait several weeks and at times months.

A prosthesis driven by the nervous system helps people with amputation walk naturally

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, cyborgs, information science, robotics/AI

State-of-the-art prosthetic limbs can help people with amputations achieve a natural walking gait, but they don’t give the user full neural control over the limb. Instead, they rely on robotic sensors and controllers that move the limb using predefined gait algorithms.

Using a new type of surgical intervention and neuroprosthetic interface, MIT researchers, in collaboration with colleagues from Brigham and Women’s Hospital, have shown that a natural walking gait is achievable using a prosthetic leg fully driven by the body’s own nervous system. The surgical amputation procedure reconnects muscles in the residual limb, which allows patients to receive “proprioceptive” feedback about where their prosthetic limb is in space.

In a study of seven patients who had this surgery, the MIT team found that they were able to walk faster, avoid obstacles, and climb stairs much more naturally than people with a traditional amputation.
