AI’s Illusion of Rapid Progress – Walter Bradley Center for Natural and Artificial Intelligence
The media loves to report on everything Elon Musk says, particularly when it is one of his very optimistic forecasts. Two weeks ago he said: If you define AGI (artificial general intelligence) as smarter than the smartest human, I think it’s probably next year, within two years.” In 2019, he predicted there would be a million robo-taxis by 2020 and in 2016, he said about Mars, “If things go according to plan, we should be able to launch people probably in 2024 with arrival in 2025.” On the other hand, the media places less emphasis on negative news such as announcements that Amazon would abandon its cashier-less technology called “Just Walk Out, because it wasnt working properly. Introduced three years ago, the tech purportedly enabled shoppers to pick up meat, dairy, fruit and vegetables and walk straight out without queueing, as if by magic.

Machine learning approach predicts heart failure outcome risk – HealthITAnalytics.com
April 22, 2024 -Researchers from the University of Virginia (UVA) have developed a machine learning tool designed to assess and predict adverse outcome risks for patients with advanced heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), according to a recent study published in the American Heart Journal. The research team indicated that risk models for HFrEF exist, but few are capable of addressing the challenge of missing data or incorporating invasive hemodynamic data, limiting their ability to provide personalized risk assessments for heart failure patients. Heart failure is a progressive condition that affects not only quality of life but quantity as well, explained Sula Mazimba, MD, an associate professor of medicine at UVA and cardiologist at UVA Health, in the news release.
