It would be an understatement to say that things can get pretty hectic in a hospital emergency room … enough so that staff occasionally administer the wrong medication. Soon, however, AI-enabled wearable cameras could help keep that from happening.

Google DeepMind's groundbreaking new AI predicts not only the structure of proteins, ligands, DNA, RNA and "all of life's molecules," but how they'll interact. It promises a radical, revolutionary acceleration in many fields of science.

An AI model accurately tracks emotions like fear and worry in the voices of crisis line callers, according to new research. The model’s developer hopes it can provide real-time assistance to phone operators as they work to prevent suicides.

Trained on simple heart rate data, an AI model can predict an episode of atrial fibrillation 30 minutes in advance. With plans to incorporate it into a smartphone so it can analyze data from a smartwatch, the model would act as an early warning system.

Researchers developed an AI algorithm that automatically analyzes chest X-rays to rapidly detect COVID-19 infection with more than 98% accuracy, distinguishing between normal X-rays and X-rays from people with viral pneumonia.

Researchers have used AI to screen photographs of children’s retinas to diagnose autism with 100% accuracy. The findings suggest AI is a viable screening tool for early diagnosis, especially when access to a specialist child psychiatrist is limited.

Prepare for a radical acceleration in technological development. A Google Deepmind AI has achieved "an order-of-magnitude expansion in stable materials known to humanity," finding about 800 years' worth of new materials with revolutionary potential.

In what will soon be commonplace in drug research, scientists have used an artificial-intelligence algorithmic program to identify a compound, currently used in antimalarial treatment, that can effectively reverse the bone deterioration of osteoporosis.

Using a deep-learning AI model, researchers have turned the humble chest X-ray into a more powerful tool for diagnosing heart problems. They say their novel approach could be used as a quick and accurate way of assessing heart function.

Zipline has developed and patented an AI-driven safety system it says allows autonomous drones to detect and avoid other aircraft and drones up to 2 km away in all directions, using a light, cheap and robust microphone array. Will it satisfy the FAA?

Early last year, MyHeritage made use of deepfake tech to bring old photos of deceased loved ones to life, and more than 100 million animations have since been created. Now the company is back with LiveStory, which adds vocal storytelling to the mix.

Genealogy company MyHeritage is putting deepfake technology to a creatively unsettling use with a new feature called Deep Nostalgia. The system animates old photographs of loved ones, turning still portraits into uncanny blinking and smiling videos.
