Another Crazy Day in AI: How Technology Helps Doctors See More

Another Crazy Day in AI: An Almost Daily Newsletter

Hello, AI Enthusiasts.


As we gather around the table to express our gratitude, let’s also acknowledge the remarkable advancements in AI that are shaping our world. ✨


A recent development involves scientists creating an AI tool that integrates various imaging techniques, helping doctors to better diagnose complex medical conditions.


Meanwhile, Amazon is ramping up its genAI capabilities with a new large language model that can analyze text, images, and videos. And to ensure cranberries continue to grace our Thanksgiving tables, scientists are harnessing AI to tackle the challenges faced by cranberry farming due to rising global temperatures. 🍂🍽️


Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍁


Here's another crazy day in AI:

  • A new approach to systemic disease detection

  • Amazon advances AI with new video model

  • Scientists utilize AI to ensure cranberries remain on Thanksgiving tables

  • Some AI tools to try out

Have you ever wondered how technology might catch what the human eye misses in complex medical diagnostics?


Medical diagnostics, especially for complex systemic diseases like lupus or diabetes, can be a daunting challenge. These illnesses often affect multiple systems in the body, requiring doctors to rely on diverse imaging tools—MRIs, CT scans, X-rays—to piece together a complete picture. But even with cutting-edge technology, vital details can sometimes go unnoticed. What if there was a way to connect these different pieces seamlessly, helping doctors see what might otherwise remain hidden?


This is where BiomedParse steps in. Sheng Wang and his team have developed an AI tool designed to integrate multiple imaging modalities, providing doctors with a more comprehensive view to assist in diagnosing intricate medical conditions.

How does BiomedParse reshape medical imaging?

  • Unified imaging analysis: Combines data from nine different imaging types to give doctors a comprehensive perspective.

  • Intuitive interface: Allows physicians to ask simple, natural language questions without technical hurdles.

  • Detail-oriented processing: Breaks massive imaging datasets into manageable parts for accurate segmentation and analysis.

  • Support for complex conditions: Provides a holistic view crucial for diagnosing diseases with multi-system involvement.


BiomedParse performs segmentation for organs, abnormalities and cells, accurately following user's prompts.

What are the challenges? As with any AI technology, BiomedParse faces hurdles. Developers are working to address concerns about hallucination (when AI produces incorrect or misleading results) and ensure stringent data privacy protections. These safeguards will be critical as the tool moves from research to real-world applications.


BiomedParse is a promising step toward making diagnostic tools smarter and more accessible, but it doesn’t replace doctors—it enhances their abilities. The tool’s value lies in amplifying human expertise, freeing up time to focus on what matters most: patient care.


Looking ahead, tools like BiomedParse could redefine how we think about diagnostics. Imagine uncovering hidden connections between diseases or identifying new applications for existing treatments—all by leveraging AI’s analytical power. Yet the human element will remain indispensable. Technology may provide the map, but it’s the doctors who navigate it.

Amazon is expanding its generative AI capabilities with a new large language model (LLM) codenamed Olympus, designed to process images and videos in addition to text. This advancement could allow users to search for specific video scenes using simple text prompts, such as finding a winning basketball shot. Set to be unveiled at the upcoming AWS re:Invent conference, Olympus represents a shift towards reducing Amazon's reliance on Anthropic's Claude chatbot while positioning the e-commerce giant as a strong competitor to AI leaders like Google and Microsoft.
