Jack Teixeira, a member of the American air guard, is suspected of having disseminated hundreds of documents classified as defense secrets in the United States. If he is found guilty, he will have to account for the role played by Discord, a messaging system popular with gamers. Discord also serves as a gateway to the Midjourney image editing software, which is increasingly used to mock the news and our leaders … with the exception of Chinese President Xi Jinping.

intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is penetrating all “real” life environments. You can already see uses of it in thecompanies, banking, the video game industry, education and now in medicine.
(Read: The jobs affected by chatbots with artificial intelligence).
The first thing to say is that the AI is “the combination of algorithms and data for the purpose of creating machines that have the same or very similar capabilities to those possessed by humans”, as defined by the Claro company.
In that sense, that combination of algorithms It is applied in medicine in studies to have more complete diagnoses.
With the use of AI, certain pathologies can be detected that cannot be seen with normal studies and that are achieved with small margins of error.
The benefit, according to experts, goes two ways: for patients, who will have better diagnoses and, as a consequence, better treatments. But, also for health professionals, because according to GE HealthCare, a company that provides technologies and data analysis, “it contributes to reducing the workload of health workers and generating more efficiency and reliability in treatments.”
On the other hand, according to the company, betting on the application of AI contributes to the reduction of medical personnel in the world.
(Also: Thefts to technological infrastructure: how does it affect the service?).
We already said that they are algorithms that are created and allow conclusions to be reached, but in a more direct way, as GE HealthCare mentions, they can be “interpret x-rays, MRIs, CT scans and other medical imaging data more quickly and accurately, using next-generation AI algorithms”.
Additionally, sIt is used in the field of predictive maintenance solutions, here they “examine equipment performance data and detect potential problems at an early stage, using machine learning algorithms.”
Another of the mechanisms for the implementation of artificial intelligence is in the evaluation of patient data in real time during surgery or medical procedure and with the analysis of this data and its conversion into practical information, a “quick analysis of the situation” can be made.
In accordance with those benefits that the company highlights, GE HealthCare bought Caption Health Inc., a leading private AI company that creates applications to detect diseases.
“This alliance will allow more patients to enjoy new ultrasound exam technology in doctors’ offices, homes, and in alternative care settings, potentially avoiding hospitalizations and also improving clinical outcomes.”, they mention.

Not everyone welcomes the use of AI in “real life”, because as Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, stated, “AI is a risk to the existence of civilization”, it is not known if to such a magnitude, but risks might be seen in the leak of patient data.
Colombia is one of the countries in the region that has a public policy on Artificial Intelligence (AI).
In that sense, as described in the Ethical Framework, “Artificial intelligence can also generate negative effects in terms of misinformation, bias, discrimination, security, and privacy. Therefore, a need arises to ensure an ethical and trustworthy implementation of artificial intelligence in Colombia.”. In addition, it is mentioned that “the data should not be used to cause harm”.

written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
The security services said Russian On Thursday, the American Wall Street Journal reporter, Ivan Gershkovitch, was arrested on charges of “espionage.”
A statement from the Federal Security Service, carried by Russian agencies, included that it had “thwarted the illegal activity of the accredited correspondent (…) of the Moscow bureau of the American Wall Street Journal, American citizen Ivan Gershkovitch.”
The security apparatus stated that it is suspected of “spying” the journalist “on behalf of Washington” and collecting information regarding a “company affiliated with the Russian military-industrial complex”.
Before starting his work in the American daily newspaper in 2022, Gershkovitch was a correspondent for the French News Agency in Moscow, and before that a journalist for the English-language newspaper “Moscow Times”.
The journalist is of Russian origin and is fluent in the Russian language, at the age of 31, and his parents reside in the United States.

an artificial intelligence sows chaos at McDonald’s (videos)
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
If artificial intelligences can sometimes be very impressive, they also have flaws. American McDonald’s restaurants witnessed this recently, during a test phase in several cities.
According to information from Geeko magazine, restaurants have tested the integration of artificial intelligence that receives orders in McDrive. The objective: to dispense with staff or put them on other tasks to increase performance. But as has been observed on social networks, it has not always been a success. A customer ended up with an order of… 200 nuggets!
