Whenever a patient gets a CT scan at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), the resulting images are automatically sent off to the cardiology department, analyzed by AI and assigned a cardiac risk score.
In just a few months, thanks to a simple algorithm, AI has flagged several patients at high cardiovascular risk. The CT scan doesn’t have to be related to the heart; the patient…
The ‘era of experience’ will unleash self-learning AI agents across the web—here’s how to prepare
May 1, 2025
David Silver and Richard Sutton, two renowned AI scientists, argue in a new paper that artificial intelligence is about to enter a new phase, the “Era of Experience.” This is where AI systems rely increasingly less on human-provided data and improve themselves by…
By now, many enterprises have begun exploring AI agents and determining whether deploying them is a viable option for their business. But many still equate agents with something most companies have had for years: automation.
Automation pioneer UiPath sees agents and…

No more window switching: Mastercard’s Agent Pay transforms how enterprises use AI search
April 30, 2025
One criticism of computer use platforms and other search agents is that you cannot complete any transactions within the same window if you use them to find a product or a hotel.
Mastercard aims to change that by integrating AI companies and platforms into its payments…
Researchers from UCLA and Meta AI have introduced d1, a novel framework using reinforcement learning (RL) to significantly enhance the reasoning capabilities of diffusion-based large language models (dLLMs). While most attention has focused on autoregressive models like GPT, dLLMs offer unique advantages. Giving them strong reasoning skills could unlock new efficiencies and applications for…
An AI assistant that unequivocally agrees with everything you say and supports you — even your most outlandish and obviously false, misguided or straight-up bad ideas — sounds like something out of a cautionary sci-fi short story from Philip K. Dick. But it appears to be…
Chinese e-commerce and web giant Alibaba’s Qwen team has officially launched a new series of open source AI large language multimodal models known as Qwen3 that appear to be among the state-of-the-art for open models, and approach performance of proprietary models from the…
January 2025 shook the AI landscape. The seemingly unstoppable OpenAI and the powerful American tech giants were shocked by what we can certainly call an underdog in the area of large language models (LLMs). DeepSeek, a Chinese firm not on anyone’s radar, suddenly challenged OpenAI. It is not that DeepSeek-R1 was better than the top models from American giants; it was slightly behind in terms of…
