The path to artificial superintelligence
Imagine a healthcare system made up of multiple AI agents: one that manages symptom assessment, another scheduling, a third insurance, and a fourth pharmacy. Each is an expert in its domain. But they all have their own distinct knowledge and objectives. Today they can exchange data, but they are not yet able to actually coordinate...
Closing the data loop in AI-driven drug discovery
Drug discovery is a high-cost, high-risk endeavor that is under growing pressure from a market increasingly defined by first-mover advantage. Since the 1950s, the cost of developing new pharmaceuticals has roughly doubled every nine years-a phenomenon known as Eroom's Law. Today, bringing a new drug to market takes an average of 10-15 years and costs...
Optical Tech Would Update a Robot's AI on the Fly
Atop a lab bench, Cornell Tech postdoctoral researcher Yifan He positions the lens of an optical receiver almost a meter away from an LED emitting a beam of red light. The computer monitor attached to the receiver takes a beat to refresh, then displays an array of squares that resemble a QR code. When you hold your phone camera up to a QR code, light strikes the image sensor as only a first step to revealing the data hidden behind the black-and-white matrix. The receiver here is doing something different: directly altering its own memory using the photocurrents produced by the beamed array of
Detecting silent agent failures with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore optimization
Amazon Bedrock AgentCore optimization surfaces silent behavioral failures in production AI agents: the ones that pass every health check but still deliver wrong outcomes. Learn how insights discovers, explains, and ranks failure patterns across sessions so you can fix the highest-impact issues first.
How AI helps scientists design the next generation of medicines
Designing and developing a new medicine is an expensive, failure-prone scientific challenge. A new drug can take many years to develop, at the cost of a significant investment. And even then, most possible candidates never reach the patient. For biologic medicines, therapies made from engineered proteins rather than synthetic chemistry (which are often used to...
Bristol Myers Squibb Building Life Science Industry's Most Advanced AI Factory on NVIDIA Vera Rubin
Erin Davis calls it the "SuperDuperPOD." That's two things in one name: pharmaceutical giant Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) already runs one of the largest AI clusters in life sciences, with serious results to show for it. And they're doubling down. BMS announced today it is deploying its second NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD, this one built on [...]
Your SaaS Metrics Are A Result, Not A Strategy
SaaS metrics like LTV/CAC, NRR, GRR, ARR growth, and the Rule of 40 are valuable indicators of business performance, writes guest author Itay Sagie, but leaders and boards should look beyond the numbers to understand the underlying drivers to assess the company's long-term health and competitive strength.

When the sovereign AI diagnosis goes prime time
Palantir Technologies Inc. Chief Executive Alex Karp went on CNBC this week and delivered what one outlet generously called a "televised nervous breakdown." He called the artificial intelligence industry "effing insane." Karp (pictured) also accused OpenAI Group PBC and Anthropic PBC of running a "wealth tax on American business." When host Becky Quick noted he [...] The post When the sovereign AI diagnosis goes prime time appeared first on SiliconANGLE.
Small AI Models Gain Traction Around the World
One morning in 2019, Adebayo Alonge was in a Cape Town hotel room, preparing to demonstrate his startup's AI answer to a serious problem in African health care: counterfeit medication, which kills thousands of people across the continent every year. The RxScanner is a handheld spectrometer that scans a pill with infrared light, then sends the item's molecular profile to an AI model equipped with a pharmaceutical database. In seconds, the AI identifies the medication from its molecular profile-or reports that it's phony. Pharmacies were using the system in more than a dozen countries, including
Build an agentic AI healthcare claims pipeline with Amazon Bedrock and AWS HealthLake
In this post, we show you how to build an automated claims processing pipeline using two key Amazon Bedrock capabilities: Amazon Bedrock Data Automation for intelligent document extraction from healthcare claim forms, and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore for hosting an AI agent that validates and transforms the extracted data into FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperable Resources) resources in AWS HealthLake. You will learn how to combine these services to create an end-to-end workflow that reduces manual processing while maintaining accuracy through automated validation checks.
Build a healthcare appointment agent with Amazon Nova 2 Sonic
In this post, you will learn how to build a voice agent that handles appointment reminder conversations using Amazon Nova 2 Sonic and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. The agent authenticates patients by voice, manages appointments (confirm, cancel, or reschedule), collects pre-visit health information, and escalates to human staff when needed. You handle routine calls at scale, which can help reduce no-show rates. This sample focuses on the agentic side of the problem: voice conversation and tool orchestration. A browser-based interface is included for testing. To connect the agent to actual phone li

The Future of Physical AI Isn't Smarter Robots, It's Smarter Interfaces
This sponsored article from Wetour Robotics argues that the next step in Physical AI is not smarter robots but smarter interfaces between humans and machines. The company proposes Spatial Intent Fusion, which combines a person's spatial position, visual context, and gestural intent into a single real-time command for any connected device. Its platform, Orchestra, runs this on an edge device with no cloud dependency on the critical path.
Graphene "Tattoos" for Plants Could Form Neural Networks
Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin developed a graphene 'tattoo' that sticks directly onto a plant leaf to provide real-time moisture readings. Beyond sensing hydration, the team believes the patches could one day act as artificial synapses and be linked into a neural network that computes on the plants themselves. The work, led by associate professor Jean Anne Incorvia and colleagues, was published in Nano Letters in February.
Can AI Chatbots Reason Like Doctors?
A large language model from OpenAI outperformed physicians on several clinical reasoning tasks using real emergency room records, according to a study published 30 April in Science. The findings arrive amid mixed evidence about chatbot medical advice, with some studies showing strong diagnostic performance and others documenting fabricated citations and flawed advice. The study authors expressed optimism but stressed that the results should not be read as AI replacing doctors.
