Yes, Artificial Intelligence Has A Creative Side, Sort Of

Despite perceptions, artificial intelligence doesn’t have a shred of creativity within it. It’s all statistical algorithms, slurping data from sources created by humans somewhere along the line. It will never be a source of innovation, but will serve to augment human innovation. “AI will not develop fundamentally new ideas on its own; however, there are ways in which AI can support humans in doing so,” according to a recent study out of the Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute. In this context, AI serves as a liberating force. “Foremost among AI’s many capabilities for augmenting human creativity is its ability to relieve us of monotonous tasks, such as searching for information and allowing more time for stimulating activities that can lead to new ideas,” the study’s author, Jan Bieser, p...

A Conversation With Jack Stoddard, CEO, Patina

In July 2022, Amazon acquired One Medical in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $3.9 billion. According to an Amazon press release, One Medical is a human-centered, technology-powered national primary care organization on a mission to make quality care more affordable, accessible, and enjoyable through a seamless combination of in-person, digital, and virtual care services that are convenient to where people work, shop, and live. The premise is to reinvent the healthcare experience. Even prior to this acquisition, One Medical strived to leverage technology and AI to drive a strong patient and provider experience and to optimally manage population health. Before One Medical made the news, Patina launched with $57 million in funding from Andreesen Horowitz and GV (Google Ven...

‘Digital Narration Technology’ To Deliver Audio For Millions Of Books

[+] reaction to the seed phrase "photo of books and apples in a green field of grass under a starry sky hyperrealistic"John Koetsier Apple quietly launched digital narration technology today that uses artificial intelligence to generate human-sounding narration for books. While it sounds like a dangerously bad idea at first — how will AI know what to emphasize, where to get excited, and where to slow down — the small samples Apple has shared sound surprisingly human. The initial target: long-tail books that will never be worth paying a human narrator for. “More and more book lovers are listening to audiobooks, yet only a fraction of books are converted to audio — leaving millions o...

AI predicts the shape of nearly every protein known to science

In 2020, an artificial intelligence lab called DeepMind unveiled technology that could predict the shape of proteins — the microscopic mechanisms that drive the behavior of the human body and all other living things. A year later, the lab shared the tool, called AlphaFold, with scientists and released predicted shapes for more than 350,000 proteins, including all proteins expressed by the human genome. It immediately shifted the course of biological research. If scientists can identify the shapes of proteins, they can accelerate the ability to understand diseases, create new medicines and otherwise probe the mysteries of life on Earth. Now, DeepMind has released predictions for nearly every protein known to science. On Thursday, the London-based lab, owned by the same parent company as...
