  • The partnership explores over 20 gen AI use cases to simplify digital transformation, including ERP automation, HR use cases, and business recommendation optimization. 

  • NVIDIA’s accelerated computing platforms and AI Enterprise data science software are leveraged by SAP to facilitate data access and enhance ML workload performance in Datasphere. 

  • NVIDIA AI foundry services assist developers in creating domain-specific language code and fine-tuning LLMs for writing code in SAP’s ABAP programming language. 

🌐 From the Web 

Inflection AI founders join Microsoft, pivoting from failed Pi chatbot for consumers. AI chatbots struggle for scale and revenue, with OpenAI shifting focus to enterprise solutions with Microsoft. 

Nvidia's recent market surge, fueled by strong earnings, solidifies its position as a pioneering force poised to lead the AI revolution, potentially reshaping global business productivity and profitability. 

HBR discusses integrating AI into business growth strategy, emphasizing defining AI's role, assessing current technology capabilities, accessing necessary resources, determining commitment level, and evaluating execution capabilities.

🤖 AI for Good 

Firm backed by Mayo Clinic tests tools for healthcare 

Mayo Clinic showcased its commitment to artificial intelligence at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, where it announced a new partnership with AI startup Cerebras Systems. 

  • The goal of this partnership is to develop a foundation AI model by leveraging Mayo Clinic's vast array of structured and unstructured data, including clinical notes, imaging reports, and lab values. 

  • One major focus will be on building a language model around genomics data to tailor treatments for individual patients. 

  • Additionally, Mayo Clinic is conducting AI-driven projects aimed at early detection of diseases such as pancreatic cancer and atrial fibrillation. 

  • For instance, a clinical trial is underway to assess AI's effectiveness in improving pancreatic cancer detection by reducing imaging noise. 

  • Another project involves training a model on pre-diagnosis electrocardiograms (ECGs) to predict atrial fibrillation months in advance. 

  • The organization emphasizes the responsible use of AI in healthcare and is a co-founder of the Coalition for Health AI, advocating for trustworthy AI practices. 

Mayo Clinic assured that AI will augment rather than replace healthcare workers, enhancing their capabilities and efficiency in delivering care.
