[Image from Pixabay]The MIT Health and Life Sciences Collaborative recently announced the establishment of the Hood Pediatric Innovation Hub to drive children’s healthcare innovation. Launched in collaboration with the Boston-based Charles H. Hood Foundation — which has committed $15 million toward the effort over the next five years — the hub will focus on developing technologies and treatments tailored specifically for children, meeting unmet needs in pediatric medicine. Leveraging MIT’s life science strengths, the hub will provide seed funding and strategic support for bold, high-impact research projects with the potential to transform children’s healthcare. In addition to supporting researchers with…

But the topline figures obscure a fragmented regulatory approach The government wants the UK to provide an agile, adaptive environment for AI developers. Is the existing regulatory framework up to it? Following on from yesterday’s coverage in Computing of Labour Party proposals to manage and regulate AI technology development, the government yesterday set out it’s approach in response to the consultation it published last March. Last years’ white paper focused on an agile, pro-innovation approach to AI regulation. The government made clear that it wanted to regulate with a light touch. A crucial aspect of this light touch regulation was…

Adobe on Thursday launched the latest iteration of its Firefly family of image generation AI models, a model for generating vectors, and a redesigned web app that houses all its AI models, plus some from its competitors. There’s also a mobile app for Firefly in the works. The new Firefly Image Model 4, Adobe says, improves on its predecessors in terms of quality, speed and the amount of control over the structure and style of outputs, camera angles, and zoom. It can generate images in resolutions up to 2K. There’s also a tweaked, more capable version of this model called…

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by X owner Elon Musk, has canceled 15 federal contracts with IBM, marking a significant shift in the company’s longstanding relationship with the US government. To bolster investor confidence, IBM broke from its long-standing practice of not issuing quarterly forecasts. It also reported better-than-expected first-quarter earnings and maintained its target of achieving at least 5% revenue growth on a constant currency basis in 2025. The cancellations, part of DOGE’s broader cost-cutting measures, amount to approximately $100 million in future payments and have raised questions about the impact on IBM’s consulting business.”We’ve chosen now,…
