• In California, a groundbreaking dining experience has emerged with the world’s first fully automated restaurant. This futuristic eatery, known as BurgerChef and Flipply, is staffed entirely by robots equipped with advanced artificial intelligence (AI). These robotic culinary masters serve up a classic American fast food menu, including juicy burgers, crispy fries, succulent chicken wings, and golden onion rings. Despite the absence of human touch, the creators claim that the flavors of their dishes remain indistinguishable from those prepared by traditional chefs, facilitated by facial recognition software for payment.

• Researchers from MIT and other institutions have developed a machine-learning framework called Tyche that captures uncertainty in medical images. Unlike traditional models that provide a single answer, Tyche generates multiple plausible segmentations for a given image. These segmentations highlight different areas, allowing clinicians to consider various possibilities. Importantly, Tyche doesn’t require retraining for new tasks, making it user-friendly for biomedical researchers and clinicians.

• Adobe Premiere Pro is set to receive a boost with generative AI video tools. These tools aim to enhance video editing capabilities by allowing users to add or remove objects from videos. The collaboration involves integrating models from Runway, Pika Labs, and OpenAI’s Sora. While the release date remains unspecified, Adobe has already demonstrated preliminary functionality of the self-developed AI model

• The Biden administration is set to award South Korea’s Samsung up to $6.4 billion in grants to expand its chip production in central Texas. This move is part of a broader effort to enhance U.S. chipmaking. The funding, sourced from the 2022 Chips and Science Act, aims to boost chip production for the aerospace, defense, and auto industries, while also strengthening national security.
