ASTRAZENECA

New AI Technology 'Can Detect Over 1,000 Diseases Before Diagnosis'

A new AI tool, developed by AstraZeneca, can identify early signs of over 1,000 diseases before symptoms appear. This advancement could lead to better treatments and preventive measures.

Details:

• The AI tool, dubbed MILTON, analyzes routine medical data to predict diseases years before symptoms appear.

• Its predictive performance was deemed "exceptional" for 121 diseases and "highly predictive" for an additional 1,091.

• AstraZeneca used data from 500,000 individuals in the UK Biobank, a large collection of health information.

• The tool opens up the possibility of intervening much earlier in the disease process, potentially leading to more effective treatments.

AstraZeneca emphasizes that MILTON is still a research tool and further work is needed before it can be used by doctors in clinical settings.

OpenAI in Talks to Raise Funds at $150B Valuation

OpenAI is reportedly in discussions to secure $6.5 billion in funding, aiming for a staggering $150 billion valuation. This move could strengthen OpenAI's position as the most valuable AI startup globally, with a significant margin over others.

Details:

• OpenAI's new valuation target of $150 billion marks a substantial leap from its earlier $86 billion valuation

• Thrive Capital is expected to lead the funding round, with participation from key partners like Microsoft, Apple, and Nvidia.

• In addition, OpenAI is also exploring raising $5 billion in debt from several banks

As talks progress, this could further solidify OpenAI's position as a leader in the AI sector.
