Google unveils MedLM, AI models for health care

Google has unveiled MedLM, a new suite of AI models tailored for healthcare. This development reflects Google's effort to capitalize on the healthcare AI market, competing with Amazon and Microsoft. MedLM,

Built on the Med-PaLM 2 model, it includes both large and medium-sized models designed for different healthcare tasks.

  • The larger model is intended for complex tasks requiring in-depth knowledge and computational power

  • The medium-sized model optimized for more agile, real-time functions like summarizing doctor-patient interactions.

This suite reflects Google's approach to offering a range of AI tools rather than a single "one-size-fits-all" solution, catering to various needs within the healthcare sector.

Companies like HCA Healthcare have already started implementing MedLM to enhance their operations. HCA utilizes MedLM to assist emergency medicine physicians in documenting patient interactions and converting transcriptions into structured ER provider notes. This application has shown promise in reducing the time doctors spend on paperwork, potentially improving efficiency in healthcare delivery.

The World Health Organization has expressed concerns about the rapid adoption of AI in healthcare, citing the potential for harm due to incorrect information, disinformation, and data privacy issues. Despite these challenges, Google maintains a commitment to cautious and responsible deployment of these technologies, aiming to support healthcare professionals while ensuring broad access to the benefits of AI in healthcare.

Google launches “AI Studio” For Developers & “Imagen 2” for text and logo generation

  1. AI Studio Launch: Google has introduced AI Studio, a web-based tool for developers, evolving from its previous incarnation as MakerSuite. This platform is built on the Gemini model and offers robust prompt and chatbot development features. AI Studio stands out with its free tier, scalable to paid options, and is part of Google's extensive AI ecosystem. It supports Gemini Pro and Gemini Pro Vision models, boasting flexible settings for model output, safety, and diverse workflows for prompt creation. This tool is designed to be accessible to developers of all skill levels and integrates seamlessly with other Google AI offerings like Vertex AI.

  2. Imagen 2 Release: Enhancing its AI-driven image generation capabilities, Google has released Imagen 2 to select Google Cloud customers. Developed in collaboration with Google DeepMind, Imagen 2 introduces superior image quality and new functionalities, including multilingual text and logo rendering. It also has advanced training techniques for comprehending extended prompts and incorporates invisible watermarks for added security.

Quality 3D Object Generation from Single Images

Stability AI has introduced Stable Zero123, a model designed for 3D object generation from single images. This model enhances the quality of 3D understanding and view generation, surpassing its predecessor, Zero123-XL. Key innovations include an improved training dataset, elevation conditioning for better predictions, and a new data loader for increased training efficiency. Stable Zero123 is based on Stable Diffusion 1.5 and is available for non-commercial and research use. It offers a significant speed-up in training compared to Zero123-XL and supports the creation of textured 3D meshes.
