Never before has an hour of Presidential rhetoric cost so many people so much. Markets continue to move …. The best estimate of the loss from tariff policy is now is closer to $30 trillion or $300,000 per family of four.– Lawrence Summers, former US Treasury SecretaryThe near-universal consensus is that President Trump’s new tariff policy (quite possibly partly written by LLMs) is likely to be among the worst economic policies in history. The Dow is 1500 points down, and many big American companies like Apple and Tesla (allegedly the beneficiaries of this policy?) are sharply down. Larry Summers estimated…

Good news for call center operators who are worn down by hostile customers with unreasonable demands—artificial intelligence technology can alter angry voices into calm ones. This should alleviate the tremendous stress of customer interaction on call operators—if AI has not completely replaced their jobs by then. SoftBank Corp. announced that it has developed voice-altering technology to protect employees from customer harassment. The goal is to reduce the psychological burden on call center operators by changing the voices of complaining customers to calmer tones. The company launched a study on “emotion canceling” three years ago, which uses AI voice-processing technology to change the voice of…

Recent decades have seen massive amounts of biological and medical data becoming available in digital form. The computerization of lab equipment, digitization of medical records, and advent of cheap DNA sequencing all generate data, which is increasingly collected in large data sets available to researchers.This bounty of data is driving rapid progress in AI. In combination with increasingly cheap and powerful DNA synthesis and laboratory automation, AI promises to deliver revolutionary advances in medicine via rapid design-build-test cycles. However, the same capabilities that are driving everything from drug discovery to diagnostic techniques could also revolutionize bioterrorism, with plausible scenarios ranging…

The news: Synchron, an Australian-founded competitor to Elon Musk’s Neuralink, is building a foundational AI model trained on brain signals.The AI, called Chiral, was showcased at Nvidia’s GTC conference in San Jose. It’s built to work with Apple’s Vision Pro headset and Nvidia’s Holoscan medical AI platform.The context: Synchron is a leader in the nascent brain-computer-interface (BCI) industry. It creates devices that read brain activity and translate that into commands for a nearby computer.Its “stentrode” BCI has already been implanted in over 10 patients who, suffering from afflictions like motor neurone disease, are unable to use their hands. A video…

Hello and welcome to Eye on AI. In today’s edition…How a new prediction model could improve wildfire management and response; Trump tariffs are “worse than the worst case scenario” for tech investors; AI executive shakeups hit Google and Meta; and AI therapy chatbots might actually work. Record-setting wildfires have become the norm over the last few years, with climate change playing a pivotal role in increasing both the frequency and intensity of fires. Today’s forest fires burn nearly six million more hectares of trees compared to two decades ago, and the issue is only expected to worsen with forested regions…
