MIT's new AI dramatically speeds up medical image annotation
Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Harvard Medical School have developed a new artificial intelligence. It has been named ScribblePrompt.
The researchers claim that the new AI reduces annotation time by 28%. The purpose of the development is to help medical professionals analyze images. ScribblePrompt is an interactive environment that highlights anatomical structures in various medical images such as MRIs, X-rays. During the AI training, the research team modeled the process of annotating more than 50,000 scans, including ultrasounds and photos of cells and tissues.
The ScribblePrompt interface allows users to simply swipe or click on the area they want to segment. The tool will highlight the entire structure or background as requested. ScribblePrompt also provides the ability to make corrections based on user feedback and to finalize areas, making it a preferred tool among neuroimaging researchers at MGH.
Using algorithms, they were able to mimic user actions, allowing ScribblePrompt to efficiently process new types of images without the need for additional data collection. According to the authors of the project, with the launch of AI, medical professionals will have a powerful tool that can significantly improve the diagnosis and treatment of patients.

South Korea creates neural network to predict crimes before they happen
The system connects to surveillance cameras and analyzes a host of parameters, including identifying suspicious activity and risk assessment, as well as looking for patterns and similarities to past crimes.
It is said to have already achieved 82.8% accuracy in prediction, and the technology could be commercialized as early as next year.

Microsoft will have its own nuclear power plant to power its data centers
The technology giant has entered into an agreement with the owner of the decommissioned Three Mile Island nuclear power plant, under which it will be restored and turned on by 2028. This will be the first time a nuclear power plant has been restarted in the U.S. and the first time that all power will be sent to just one customer.
Interestingly, one of the power units of this plant was mothballed
