Three charts from the world of research, selected by Nature editors. Accelerating artificial intelligence Commercial firms are rolling out ever-larger artificial-intelligence models — each costing millions of dollars to train and run. They hope to develop systems with capabilities greater than the large language models (LLMs) underlying chatbots such as ChatGPT. LLMs are giant networks of computing units (also...

Can you spot the bots? New research says not
COPENHAGEN BUSINESS SCHOOL Until recently it has been a challenge to make convincing fake social media profiles at scale because images could be traced back to their source, and the text often didn’t sound human-like. Today with rapid advances in artificial intelligence it is increasingly becoming difficult to tell the difference. Researchers from Copenhagen Business...
1 big thing: Google shows off health care AI
Illustration: Annelise Capossela/Axios Google showed off an array of new artificial intelligence (AI)-driven health care tools on Tuesday, Jennifer A. Kingson reports, from a souped-up chatbot that can shed light on your medical symptoms to enhanced search features that tell you if a doctor takes Medicaid.Why it matters: There’s an arms race among big tech companies to infuse their...
Eric Schmidt: “The most powerful foundational technology ever”
Screenshot: The Age of AI/YouTubeFormer Google CEO Eric Schmidt and his Schmidt Ventures are out with an animated video — made with the help of AI, including a cartoon rendition of Dr. Henry Kissinger — showing how artificial intelligence is “the most powerful foundational technology ever to have existed.”Why it matters: AI will alter war, global relations — even our...
ChatGPT gets more ‘human’ as AI wave continues
OpenAI is backed by Microsoft, which earlier this year said it would finance the research company with billions of dollars of financing. The company behind the ChatGPT app that churns out essays, poems or computing code on command released Tuesday a long-awaited update of its artificial intelligence (AI) technology that it said would be safer...

Moreover, out of the six major cancers, it is the only one that has shown an increasing trend over the past 20 years. The chance of survival would be higher if breast...
AI accurately identifies normal and abnormal chest x-rays
RADIOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF NORTH AMERICA IMAGE: IMAGES IN A 44-YEAR-OLD MAN WHO PRESENTED WITH CHEST PAIN AND DYSPNEA. (A) CHEST X-RAY SHOWS VERY SUBTLE NODULAR OPACITIES, PRIMARILY IN LOWER LOBES, REPRESENTATIVE OF PNEUMONIA AND A DISCRETE SILHOUETTE SIGN OF THE RIGHT CARDIAC BORDER (ARROW). THE AI SYSTEM INTERPRETED THIS CHEST X-RAY AS NORMAL. IT WAS...
Artifical intelligence approach may help detect Alzheimer’s disease from routine brain imaging tests
by Brandon Chase, Massachusetts General Hospital Credit: Pixabay/Pete Linforth. Although investigators have made strides in detecting signs of Alzheimer’s disease using high-quality brain imaging tests collected as part of research studies, a team at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) recently developed an accurate method for detection that relies on routinely collected clinical brain images. The advance could lead...
