AUGMENTED INTELLIGENCE: In Medicine Today

Posted on April 6, 2024 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

THE AMA A.U.I. REPORT

***

By Staff Reporters

Doctors are excited—yet cautious—about the role augmented intelligence (AUI) could play in the future of healthcare. That’s the takeaway from an American Medical Association (AMA) survey released last month.

About two-thirds (65%) of 1,000+ physicians that the AMA surveyed in August 2023 agreed that there was at least some advantage to using AUI-powered tools, particularly when it comes to diagnostic ability (72%), work efficiency (69%), and clinical outcomes (61%). More than half (56%) of doctors said AUI tools could best help address administrative burdens.

Intel revealed that its semiconductor-making unit lost $7 billion last year. The news sent the company’s stock down.

And, Amazon is laying off hundreds of employees from its cloud computing division, including the team overseeing its cashierless tech (and not just the Just Walk Out feature it’s pulling from stores), as well as people sales and marketing roles.

Finally, Microsoft and Quantinuum said they’ve had a major quantum computing breakthrough.

NVIDIA: Almost All About the Company?

Posted on February 23, 2024 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

By Staff Reporters

***

You can’t stop Nvidia and AI? The tech stock continued its post-earnings explosion yesterday, skyrocketing 16% and taking the entire stock market along with it. All three major indexes increased, with the S&P 500 notching another record high, as investors rode the surging waves.

***

***

Nvidia’s Q4 and full-year 2023 earnings smashed records, all but ensuring AI hype will continue for the foreseeable future. The chipmaker reported Q4 revenue of $22.1 billion, up 265% from Q4 2022, and a diluted EPS of $4.93, up 33% from last quarter and a whopping 765% from this time last year. (And, no, Lyft, those aren’t typos.)

“Accelerated computing and generative AI have hit the tipping point,” Nvidia’s founder and CEO Jensen Huang crowed in a press release. “Demand is surging worldwide across companies, industries, and nations.”

Nvidia’s made itself inescapable merely by virtue of being so big. Last week, it became the nation’s third-largest company, reaching a market cap of $1.83 trillion. It’s driven about a third of the NASDAQ 100’s gains this past year, according to Fast Company. That being the case, Nvidia’s performance can serve as a litmus test for the stock market itself.

DAILY UPDATE: Nvidia, and Pharmacy Cyber Security Attack as Stock Markets Roar Back!

Posted on February 23, 2024 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

By Staff Reporters

***

***

Big tech companies are continuing to pour cash into artificial intelligence at a breakneck pace. And based Bion the earnings update Wednesday from Nvidia, much of it is going to that chip maker. “This last year, we’ve seen generative AI really becoming a whole new application space, a whole new way of doing computing,” Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s co-founder and chief executive, said Wednesday. “A whole new industry is being formed, and that’s driving our growth.”

CITE: https://www.r2library.com/Resource

Pharmacies across the country are reporting delays to prescription orders due to a cyberattack against one of the nation’s largest health-care technology companies. Change Healthcare, a company handling orders and patient payments throughout the U.S., first noticed the “cyber security issue” affecting its networks Wednesday morning on the East Coast.

Here’s where the major benchmarks ended:

The S&P 500 index rose 105.23 points (2.1%) to 5,087.03; the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 456.87 points (1.2%) to 39,069.11; the NASDAQ Composite rallied 460.75 points (3%) to 16,041.62.
The 10-year Treasury note yield (TNX) was little changed at 4.323%.
The CBOE Volatility Index^® (VIX) fell 0.84 to 14.50.

Nvidia sparked a 5% rally in the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) and a 3% gain in the NASDQ-100^® (NDX), both of which ended at all-time highs. Consumer discretionary shares were also among the strongest sectors Thursday. The small-cap Russell 2000^® Index (RUT) rose 1% and halted a three-day slide.

According to Joe Mazzola, director of trading and education at Schwab, Nvidia had a “profound effect” at both the sector and index level, partly reflecting its market value, which is nearing $2 trillion. Nvidia is now the third largest company behind Microsoft (MSFT) and Apple (AAPL).

Investors are a day away from an inflation report that may offer some direction in a young year that has seen markets meander, with a brief sell-off and a partial rally back. More action may come as Wall Street banks kick off earnings season on Friday.

Here is where the major benchmarks ended:

The S&P 500 index rose 26.95 points (0.6%) to 4,783.45, a two-year closing high; the Dow Jones Industrial Average^® (DJI) increased 170.57 points (0.5%) to 37,695.73; the NASDAQ Composite gained 111.94 points (0.8%) to 14,969.65.
The 10-year Treasury note yield (TNX) added about 2 basis points to 4.04%.
The CBOE^® Volatility Index (VIX) fell 0.06 to 12.70.

Among market sectors, the S&P 500 Communication Services Index (SP500#50), which includes “mega-cap” tech companies like Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL) and Facebook parent Meta Platforms (META), gained 1.2% and ended near a two-year high. Consumer discretionary shares were also firm. Energy stocks were one of the weakest performers behind a 1.3% drop in crude oil futures.

Peterson noted strength in tech shares may in part reflect news from this week’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, with escalating bullishness surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) driving further gains in Nvidia (NVDA) and other chip companies capable of serving the most advanced forms of AI. Nvidia has jumped more than 10% so far this week and posted a record high for the third straight day.

GEMINI: Google’s Large Language Model Released

Posted on December 7, 2023 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

LLM

By Staff Reporters

***

Gemini: Google's Latest AI Challenging GPT-4 - YouTube

About a year after OpenAI’s launch of ChatGPT brought the simmering artificial intelligence race to a boil, Google’s highly anticipated AI model, Gemini, has finally joined the competition. Released yesterday, Gemini is a large language model (LLM) that Google CEO Sundar Pichai and executives at the company’s DeepMind AI division say will revolutionize generative technology for business and daily life.

The tech is a family of three models that Google is slowly looping into its suite of services:

Gemini Nano is mainly for mobile devices. As of yesterday, Google Pixel 8 Pro owners could enlist Gemini Nano to summarize audio recordings or draft automatic message replies.
Gemini Pro is a midsize offering designed for more complex tasks. Pro now powers Google’s chatbot, Bard, but the AI tech isn’t available to Google Cloud customers until Dec. 13.
Gemini Ultra, the powerhouse version geared toward data centers and large companies, will launch next year and underpin “Bard Advanced,” a new chatbot that will be able to simultaneously process text, images, audio, and video, according to Google’s prerecorded demonstrations.

If Gemini can do what Google promises, it could chip away at OpenAI’s lead in the LLM space.

The good times keep rolling for the chip maker. Q3 revenue increased 206% year over year to $18.1 million, topping Wall Street’s estimates of about $16.2 billion. The company’s stock has more than tripled amid the AI boom this year, accounting for a big part of the S&P 500’s tech-fueled rise.

And yet, shares ticked down from record highs in after-hours trading on Tuesday after Nvidia tempered expectations for Q4 due to new restrictions on chip exports to China.

DAILY UPDATE: ChatGPT Anniversary

Posted on November 12, 2023 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

By Staff Reporters

SPONSOR: http://www.MARCINKOASSOCIATES.com

***

ChatGPT was launched nearly a year ago, in November 2022. Powered by a large language model trained on 570 gigabytes of internet data (300 billion words), the chatbot can generate text that eerily mimics human speech—but with far more information at its disposal than an actual person. Amazon is not the only company using AI to create theoretically better ads.

Meta announced its version of an ad generator last month, promising advertisers “a new era of creativity that maximizes the productivity, personalization, and performance” of campaigns.
Google says its product will allow the future of advertising to evolve.
TikTok has Creative Assistant, which “draws information from a wealth of TikTok-focused creative knowledge, providing you with the most relevant responses for when you’re creating ads.”

***

But, ChatGPT is not the same for mental health. Experts are warning that while chatbots can offer basic mental health support, they’re not equipped to provide clinical support and can raise thorny issues.

Ethics: Therapists are trained and licensed and must maintain a certain standard of care; a chatbot isn’t and doesn’t.
Privacy: When you ask a chatbot a question, you could be putting sensitive information on the internet.
Safety: A chatbot can give false information (more on that below) or provide harmful instructions.

***

ChatGPT in Education:

The bar exam: GPT-4 was in the 90th percentile with a score of 298 out of 400. GPT-3.5 came in the 10th percentile.
The SAT: GPT-4 scored 1400 out of 1600, ranking in the 89th percentile of test-takers. GPT-3.5 scored 1260.
AP exams: GPT-4 received a 5 on Art History, Biology, Environmental Science, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Psychology, Statistics, US Government, and US History, according to OpenAI. GPT-3.5 received a 5 only on Art History and Psychology.
Sommelier exams: GPT-4 has also passed the Introductory Sommelier, Certified Sommelier, and Advanced Sommelier exams with scores of 92%, 86%, and 77%, respectively. GPT-3.5 had a less discerning palate, earning marks of 80%, 58%, and 46%.

President Bidens Executive Order on Artificial Intelligence

Posted on October 30, 2023 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

***

Biden will issue sweeping executive order on A.I. Today

The Biden administration just released an executive order today to regulate AI technology. The directive aims to leverage the government’s role as a leading technology customer by requiring advanced AI models to undergo assessments before they can be used by federal employees. It would also ease barriers to immigration for highly skilled workers in an attempt to boost the US’ technological edge.

***

MORE Fierce Healthcare NEWS

The Biden administration has proposed a new rule refining several aspects of the healthcare services billing process in response to criticisms levied from all sides of the industry.

The federal government is rolling back a pandemic-era waiver that lowered the bar for 340B hospitals to dispense discounted drugs across some outpatient clinics. Hospitals argue the decision will “stifle” future efforts to expand access to under served communities.

And … Amazon Pharmacy is focused on making it faster and more convenient for patients to get prescription medications. The company’s moves come as brick-and-mortar drugstores are limiting pharmacy hours and even closing locations.

He recently told investors interested in artificial intelligence that the road to AI profits will likely be rockier than expected for the likes of Nvidia (NVDA) – Get Free Report, Microsoft (MSFT) – Get Free Report, Alphabet (GOOGL) – Get Free Report, and C3.ai (AI) – Get Free Report.

The 10-year Treasury yield was little changed at 3.81%.
CBOE’s Volatility Index was down 1.22 at 17.93.

Tech remains the runaway upside leader among sectors, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor index soaring over 6% to a 14-month high Friday. The NASDAQ-100 also ended near a 14-month high. Communications services and real estate were also strong.

Oilfield services and other energy companies were among the weakest sectors, despite a jump of more than 1% in crude oil futures.

Artificial Intelligence Passes U.S. Medical Licensing Exam

Posted on January 29, 2023 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

ChatGPT

By Staff Reporters

***

***

Two papers show that large language models, including ChatGPT, can pass the USMLE. The papers highlighted different approaches to using large language models to take the USMLE, which is comprised of three exams: Step 1, Step 2 CK, and Step 3. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence (AI) search tool that mimics long-form writing based on prompts from human users. It was developed by OpenAI, and became popular after several social media posts showed potential uses for the tool in clinical practice, often with mixed results.

According to Victor Tseng, MD, of Ansible Health in Mountain View, California, and colleagues, the results showed “new and surprising evidence” that this AI tool was up to the challenge. Tseng and team noted that ChatGPT was able to perform at >50% accuracy across all of the exams, and even achieved 60% in most of their analyses. While the USMLE passing threshold does vary between years, the authors said that passing is approximately 60% most years.

ChatGPT: A Microsoft Start-Up Venture!

Posted on January 17, 2023 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

By Staff Reporters

***

***

Microsoft is reportedly preparing for its largest startup investment in history: a $10 billion stake in OpenAI that could value the research lab at $29 billion. OpenAI is the creator of potentially groundbreaking AI tools like ChatGPT, the multitalented chatbot that can code in Python and help high schoolers cheat on English essays.

MSFT has already invested $1 billion in OpenAI, but thinks an even tighter relationship would help it better compete with Big Tech rivals like Google (which reportedly declared a “code red” over ChatGPT’s threat to its search dominance).

But Microsoft’s AI ambitions go beyond just integrating ChatGPT know-how into its own search engine, Bing. The company wants to use OpenAI’s tools in its Office suite—and it’s already experimenting with algorithms to help users craft emails in Outlook.

OpenAI was founded in 2015 as a mission-based AI research organization by a roster from Silicon Valley’s A-list, including Elon Musk. Its stated goal is to develop safe AI for the benefit of humanity. But OpenAI has plenty of critics who have called it out for ethical concerns, a lack of transparency, and abandoning its mission for profits.

According to MorningBrew, a slew of buzzy AI product releases in 2022 has startup investors forgetting they ever heard the word “metaverse.” Languishing in the prolonged crypto winter and facing an uncertain economic environment, many venture capitalists see the field as the next big thing to shovel money into their coffers.

UPDATE: Bill Gates just hinted that he may be working on Open AI’s large language chatbot ChatGPT in collaboration with Microsoft if the reported $10 billion investment in the start-up goes through. Gates also admitted that he’s still involved with the company’s research and product plans, and said he’s watching the developments in ChatGPT “very closely.”

UPDATE: Sentient GOOGLE, Corporate Earnings, the Markets and Cryptocurrency

Posted on June 13, 2022 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

By Staff Reporters

Blake Lemoine, an engineer for Google’s responsible AI organization, described an AI system that he has been working on since last fall as sentient, with a perception of, and ability to express thoughts and feelings that was equivalent to a human child. He was promptly suspended.

Earnings Are Under Threat. Companies from Target to Microsoft have warned their results will be lower than expected, while analysts have trimmed earnings forecasts across industries. Investors will get further clarity next month when companies begin reporting results for the second quarter.

The S&P is in a historic slump having fallen in nine out of the past 10 weeks for just the third time since 1980. And cryptocurrencies, which trade 24/7, tumbled following another red-hot inflation report.

PODCAST: Artificial Intelligence in Health Care Today

Posted on June 1, 2021 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

Transforming Health care ETHICALLY

By Stanford Online

[Drs. Serena Yeung and Matthew Lungreen]

Artificial intelligence has the potential to transform healthcare, driving innovations, efficiencies, and improvements in patient care.

WHITE-PAPER LINK: https://www.healthit.gov/sites/default/files/jsr-17-task-002_aiforhealthandhealthcare12122017.pdf

But, this powerful technology also comes with a unique set of ethical and safety challenges.

LINK: https://www.amazon.com/Dictionary-Health-Information-Technology-Security/dp/0826149952/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1254413315&sr=1-5

So, how can AI be integrated into healthcare in a way that maximizes its potential while also protecting patient safety and privacy?

In this session faculty from the Stanford AI in Healthcare specialization discuss the challenges and opportunities involved in bringing AI into the clinic, safely and ethically, as well as its impact on the doctor-patient relationship.

They also outline a framework for analyzing the utility of machine learning models in healthcare and will describe how the US healthcare system impacts strategies for acquiring data to power machine learning algorithms.

ASSESSMENT: Your thoughts are appreciated.

THANK YOU

Could ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Help Make Health Care More Fair?

Posted on May 4, 2021 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

Helping us believe what patients say

A new study shows how training deep-learning models on patient outcomes could help reveal gaps in existing medical knowledge.

By Karen Hao

In the last few years, research has shown that deep learning can match expert-level performance in medical imaging tasks like early cancer detection and eye disease diagnosis. But there’s also cause for caution.

Other research has shown that deep learning has a tendency to perpetuate discrimination. With a health-care system already riddled with disparities, sloppy applications of deep learning could make that worse.

The “Chinee Room” Argument of A.I.

Posted on February 16, 2020 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

On John Searle and his Paper

By Dr David E. Marcinko MBA

The Chinese room argument holds that a digital computer executing a program cannot be shown to have a “mind”, “understanding” or “consciousness”, regardless of how intelligently or human-like the program may make the computer behave.

***

The argument was first presented by philosopher John Searle in his paper, “Minds, Brains, and Programs“, published in Behavioral and Brain Sciences in 1980. It has been widely discussed in the years since. The centerpiece of the argument is a thought experiment known as the Chinese room.

Q&A with Futurist Martine Rothblatt

Posted on February 27, 2017 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

[By MIT Technology Review]

Whether machines and artificial intelligence will ever become conscious is an eternally debated topic, but Martine Rothblatt thinks it shouldn’t be.

We talked with Rothblatt about why she thinks denying that machines will become conscious is similar to denying evolution, and why society must prepare to grant rights to the virtual beings of the future.

The Future of Health Insurance?

Posted on June 24, 2016 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

Preparing for Dr. Big Brother

[By Bert Mesko MD PhD]

While futuristic technologies are becoming available in healthcare, patients often can’t access them and the cost of providing care continues to skyrocket.

However, innovations such as artificial intelligence (AI) and health sensors are set to reshape how healthcare insurance works and by doing so bring much needed reforms to healthcare as a whole.
