Here’s some of the top news stories AL didn’t cover last week because….well, because New York, and talking to people, and wandering around seeking inspiration via happenstance on the island of Manhattan. – ‘I’m Sorry, Dave’ – LexisNexis Launches Voice AI Assistant LexisNexis has launched its voice AI assistant, which operates as part of Protégé. It will ‘interact naturally…using spoken language instead of manually entering prompts to conduct legal work’. The ‘multi-modal experience provides customers with greater workflow flexibility’ – (and more on voice soon). Sean Fitzpatrick, CEO of LexisNexis North America, UK, and Ireland, commented: ‘We want to make…

Microsoft used its AI-powered Security Copilot to discover 20 previously unknown vulnerabilities in the GRUB2, U-Boot, and Barebox open-source bootloaders. GRUB2 (GRand Unified Bootloader) is the default boot loader for most Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, while U-Boot and Barebox are commonly used in embedded and IoT devices. Microsoft discovered eleven vulnerabilities in GRUB2, including integer and buffer overflows in filesystem parsers, command flaws, and a side-channel in cryptographic comparison. Additionally, 9 buffer overflows in parsing SquashFS, EXT4, CramFS, JFFS2, and symlinks were discovered in U-Boot and Barebox, which require physical access to exploit. The newly discovered flaws impact devices relying on UEFI…

Developing reliable AI systems to assist human clinicians in multi-modal medical diagnosis has long been a key objective for researchers. Recently, Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have gained significant attention and achieved success across various domains. With strong reasoning capabilities and the ability to perform diverse tasks based on user instructions, they hold great potential for enhancing medical diagnosis. However, directly applying MLLMs to the medical domain still presents challenges. They lack detailed perception of visual inputs, limiting their ability to perform quantitative image analysis, which is crucial for medical diagnostics. Additionally, MLLMs often exhibit hallucinations and inconsistencies in reasoning,…
