University of California, San Francisco Chancellor, Sam Hawgood, in an interview with Matthew Lungren MD MPH at #ConvergeSummit has outlined the use of #AI scribes to create clinical notes as well as other #AI-driven technologies. Key to their success: a group of practicing physicians with knowledge of AI ensuring that the technology fits into the physicians’ existing workflow, which improves physician adoption of the technology. Another key: measure success through reduction in physician burnout and improvement in patient satisfaction, not increases in physician productivity. Final key: have a real-time, frequent review of implemented technologies to ensure that they still support and are relevant to changing clinical care standards - and shut the technologies down if they are not supporting their purpose.

Dealmakers think a lot about how AI = (growth or industry disruption) = M&A. But what about their own ways of working? I look forward to a robust discussion next week on how generative AI impacts the business of M&A. #wheredealsaremade

Having worked at Cruise and Waymo on self-driving taught me many things. I hope to bring some of these learnings to healthcare so it too can soon have the magical, "no-driver-at-the-wheel" moment. Here's a short conversation I had with Louie Cai, MD on this topic!

Polaris 2.0 from Hippocratic AI is here. Safer than ever. 3T+ parameter constellation architecture with voice latency equal to Polaris 1.0 at 1T+ parameters.

California Governor Newsom vetoes the controversial AI Safety Bill! And the reasons behind it are worth noting. Stifling innovation is a major concern but so is the lack of nuance in the assessment of risk He states that the bill would 'give the public a false sense of security about controlling this fast-moving technology' Which honestly- is spot on! The Bill tries but both goes too far & not far enough. We covered the topic in great detail in our inaugural episode of TheOutpost.ai podcast Do check out our short of it here & let us know how you think the world will react to the veto! https://lnkd.in/gfs3vVN4

I’m constantly inspired by our Executive Leadership team at Trustwell, and our Chief Customer Officer Maria Burch is no exception. In the latest podcast episode of She's So Suite, Maria shares her incredible career journey, highlighting how stepping outside her comfort zone and embracing challenges have been pivotal in her career growth. Maria's story is a testament to the power of: ✔️ Saying yes to opportunities, even when they feel daunting ✔️ Getting comfortable with feeling uncomfortable ✔️ Digging in to figure things out, one step at a time Her insights offer a valuable lesson for all of us: growth often lies just beyond the boundaries of what feels comfortable. If you’re looking for inspiration on how to push your career forward, this episode is a must-listen. 🎧 Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/eufSUc8M #Leadership #CareerGrowth #Inspiration #Trustwell #Teamwork #DiggingIn #YesMindsethttps

Grateful to William Sun and MIT Club of Northern California for organizing an insightful Gene Therapy Conference. Being new to this field, here are some things I learned: 🔬 Delivery of gene therapy treatments is a big challenge – ensuring that they reach the right cells, at the right dose, without causing harm, remains a big hurdle. 💡 The up-front cost of gene therapy can be high (e.g., $3M+), however when weighed against a lifetime of treatments using other expensive drugs it can actually be more economical. ⏳ After receiving a gene therapy treatment, it’s difficult to undergo another. Patients face the tough choice of opting for a moderately effective treatment now or holding off for a potentially better one in the future. 🔍 Advances in DNA testing and treatments could lead to removing and repairing stem cells before a disease even presents itself. 🎯 The sweet spot for gene therapy products lies in targeting niche diseases that also offer broader health benefits to larger populations. 🤝 More transparency around FDA submissions, protocols, and research would streamline progress across the entire ecosystem and be a win for all players + humanity. Special thanks to the panelists for their stories and insights, specifically: Trevor Martin (CEO, Mammoth Biosciences), Amy Pooler (VP and Head of Research, Sangamo Therapeutics, Inc.), and Agnieszka Czechowicz, MD, PhD (Physician Scientist, Stanford University School of Medicine). 🙏🙌

Excited to share the reason why I dropped out from MIT. We raised a $9M seed round led by the best in the business at Patron, First Spark Ventures, and A16Z GAMES SPEEDRUN to build digital human beings -- starting with friends who can play any game with you and are always online. Digital human beings -- specifically agents with fundamental human qualities -- are inevitable and will be of world-changing consequence. We believe if built with a strongly pro-human framework, they can be the source of unlimited empathy, fun and friendship at scale. Starting in games allows us to train, iterate, and ship faster. We also have a clear use case for differentiated social-emotional intelligence, episodic memory, and grounded actions. Improving these human qualities opens new doors into broader simulations, productivity agents, and finally embodied digital intelligence. I can't thank the incredible team at MIT Sloan School of Management enough and even more importantly the incredible friends I made during my two years in Cambridge. Most importantly, thank you to my super-hero wife and love of my life Melanie Mueller who makes all of this possible in the first place. https://lnkd.in/dAmJkTza

Had a great time with Grant El-Deir on the @venturalabs podcast yesterday. We covered Bittensor, Opentensor Foundation, DCG, MicroStrategy and more. Check it out and let me know if I'm smart (comments) or dumb (DM only pls). #crypto #bittensor #bitcoin #laboreconomy #artificialintelligence #machinelearning https://lnkd.in/gu6aFziu

To be able to harness dynamics at the quantum level is already a game-changer. To be able to harness it leveraging principles of #complexadaptivesystems - whole-systems quantum computation - is going to result in systematization of #quantumsupremacy. In the times to come we should therefore expect to see more displays of this where D-Wave’s annealing quantum computing is used.

I wrote a short piece about how we're using the capital from our series D financing to stay lean and accelerate robotics/AI development. Would love to hear what you think. Thanks to NVIDIA and Equinix for the terrific partnership!

Satya Nadella and Brad Smith in conversation on the latest episode of Tools and Weapons. In this episode, Brad and Satya unpack what this means, how it connects to the company’s mission, the responsibility that companies have to create inclusive growth, and how software is one of the biggest deflationary forces during inflationary times. https://lnkd.in/gWcQdhF3 #Microsoft #ToolsAndWeapons

Nice post on nature talking a bit about what we are doing here at Osmo. I am excited to share more soon about what we have done since the early research. https://lnkd.in/d5W-d98y
