“I will be the first AI president in American history!”

- BREAKING NEWS RECAP -

Mark Zuckerberg revealed META’s entering the race to make artificial general intelligence system (AGI) aka robots with common sense. Meanwhile, at Davos, OpenAI's Sam Altman declared that AI needs to go "nuclear" to keep up with its growing energy footprint (Nuclear AI, what could possibly go wrong? 😬). In the political arena, Biden challenger Dean Phillips vows to be the 'first AI president' (someone did his keyword research…), while China is issuing draft guidelines to standardize the AI industry (ahead of the US).

Samsung's making waves with its Galaxy S24 smartphone lineup debut, with new AI features including the innovative "Circle to Search" in collaboration with Google, Live Translate, and Transcript Assist. Google's also beefing up Android Auto with new AI features like suggested replies and actions, while bringing AI insights to multisearch. Meanwhile, Amazon brings its AI image generator to Fire TV, Anthropic's Claude chatbot is set to gain image analysis capabilities, and Microsoft makes its AI-powered reading tutor a free standalone app.

AI's not just playing dress-up with your gadgets. It's literally saving lives. The FDA just approved Dermasensor, an AI handheld device that can detect skin cancer by analyzing moles. And new studies show the effectiveness of AI tools in predicting dementia using brain scans and suggesting personalized cancer drugs based on genetics. Even Boston ORs are getting an AI surveillance upgrade to prevent surgical errors (PS. the models blur faces & "cartoonify" bodies). The future's looking robotic, sassy, and maybe a little radioactive, but hey, at least your phone understands your scribbles now.
