This Week in AI News
🕯️ When the Past Speaks for Itself
Here’s a first for the courtroom. Three years after Chris Pelkey lost his life to road rage, he “returned” to address his killer at sentencing with help from artificial intelligence. Using Chris’s own words, his family delivered a statement that was equal parts moving and controversial. Some say it’s the future of victim representation. Others fear it opens a dicey new chapter in legal tech. Where do you land on AI blurring the lines between absence and presence?
👶 Transforming Pediatric Care, One Data Point at a Time
Imperial College London is teaming up with the Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) to give doctors an AI-powered assist in pediatric intensive care. With over 56,000 anonymized records feeding their model, this partnership is poised to make sense of mountains of data and help doctors make faster, smarter choices for critically ill kids. The hope? Earlier detection, better outcomes, and personalized care for every child. If you’re in healthcare, watch this space.
🛍️ Fashion Moves at the Speed of Social
Ever spot a trend on TikTok and see it on Zalando a few days later? Turns out, you’re not imagining things. The European retailer is saving weeks (and 90% of content costs!) by using generative AI to churn out campaign imagery at lightning speed—even creating digital “twins” of models for product launches. For anyone in marketing or e-commerce, this is your sign to experiment with creative tools that keep you one step ahead of the crowd.
🧪 Google’s New “Co-Scientist” & Beyond
Google isn’t waiting for the next wave; they’re riding it. Their new Co-Scientist tool, built on Gemini 2.0, supercharges medical research by helping scientists develop better hypotheses and research plans. Meanwhile, AI-driven breakthroughs are cropping up in brain mapping, wildfire detection, personalized medicine, and language learning. If you’re dabbling in any of these fields, now’s a good moment to tune in. Google is making their models and datasets open to help everyone push the limits a little further.
🧠 AI Face-Off: Which Bot Does Deep Research Best?
Lance Whitney put four top AIs—ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Perplexity—to the test with one question: “How is time travel portrayed in film and TV?”
Here’s what he found:
- 🏆 ChatGPT (Full version) gave the most thorough and well-written report, though it took the longest (17 minutes).
- 📚 Gemini impressed with in-depth analysis and a scholarly tone, finishing in around 10 minutes.
- ⚡ Perplexity was the fastest (5 mins) but felt like a rushed homework assignment—short and lacking depth.
Bottom Line: ChatGPT wins for depth, and Gemini is always worth comparing too.
