Google DeepMind has announced Veo 2, its next-gen video-generating AI, designed to surpass OpenAI’s Sora. Capable of creating over two-minute 4K videos—4x the resolution and 6x the duration of Sora—Veo 2 is currently limited to 720p and eight-second clips in Google’s experimental VideoFX tool, available by waitlist. DeepMind plans to roll out Veo 2 on Vertex AI for broader use, citing improvements in motion, light dynamics, and camera controls. While sample videos show impressive quality, Veo 2 still struggles with realistic human expressions, hinting at ongoing challenges in video AI. #AI #OpenAI #Veo2 #Google #Deepmind #SoraAI #DealonAI

Optum, a subsidiary of UnitedHealth, restricted access to an internal AI chatbot after a security researcher discovered it was publicly accessible online without password protection. The chatbot, known as "SOP Chatbot," was designed to help employees handle health insurance claims based on standard operating procedures (SOPs). While it didn’t contain sensitive or protected health information, its exposure raises concerns as UnitedHealth faces scrutiny over AI tools allegedly used to override medical decisions. Optum stated the chatbot was a proof-of-concept demo, not in production, and access has since been removed. #AI #Healthcare #Chatbot #Robotics #ChatGPT #DealonAI

A U.S. breast-screening program using AI in mammography found a 21% increase in cancer detection rates for women opting for AI-enhanced scans. DeepHealth, owned by RadNet, analyzed data from 747,604 women and reported 43% higher overall detection rates among program participants. The AI acted as a “second set of eyes” for radiologists, improving recall rates for additional imaging. Researchers attribute 22% of the increase to higher-risk patients enrolling, but credit the remaining 21% to AI's impact. Further studies are planned to confirm these findings, as reported by techcrunch. #AI #Healthcare #Innovation #Breascareawareness #tech #DealonAI
