🔍  What Forbes Got Right and Wrong in their 2024 AI Predictions, New Deepfake Detection Tech, and How AI is Changing Surgery

Forbes: “What We Got Right And Wrong In Our 2024 AI Predictions”  - This week, in addition to the usual research papers, we want to showcase one of Forbes’ latest articles—a review of their own predictions of what will happen in the world of AI in 2024. Spoiler alert: they got predictions 2 and 9 wrong.

(To see their initial predictions published at the end of 2023, check out this link.)

Multiclass AI-Generated Deepfake Face Detection Using Patch-Wise Deep Learning Model - This paper investigates the potential of Vision Transformers (ViTs) for effective deepfake image detection, leveraging their capacity to extract global features.

Artificial Intelligence in Surgery: The Future Is Now - For surgery in particular, the application of machine learning algorithms in fields such as computer vision and operative robotics is poised to radically change how medical professionals screen, diagnose, risk-stratify, treat, and follow up with patients. This paper summarises the current landscape of existing and emerging integrations within complex surgical care pathways.

⚡ What an AI Scribe Exactly is and How to Build a Voice AI Agent

What is an AI Scribe? - The process of creating up-to-par documentation remains extremely tedious for healthcare professionals around the world. The introduction of AI medical scribes is helping to lighten this load considerably. Here’s how.

How to Build a Voice AI Agent Using Deepgram and OpenAI: A Step-by-Step Guide- In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to build a fully functional AI voice agent powered by Deepgram and OpenAI. Whether you're creating an AI concierge, virtual assistant, or customer support bot, this guide provides everything you need.

🤖 Bonus Bits and Bytes!

• 🎞️ “Google Veo 2 Demo - AI Influencers” - Warning: The people in this video are not real. Each of these influencers giving product reviews are entirely generated by AI. One tell is the color-changing image of the mouse on one of the packages.

• 💬 The Best AI Productivity Tools of 2025 - The title says it all! Check out this Zapier list for any tools that could benefit your life in the new year

• 🎹 How AI Changed the Music Industry in under a year - Music AI systems are great at short segments but struggle with longer structures. Consequently, music needs to be encoded correctly to be created with AI. Symbolic and audio representations are used to capture different details in music.

• 📚Approximate Dynamic Programming (ADP) - This technique stands as a sophisticated variant of traditional dynamic programming. It comes to the rescue when the exact solutions to problems are computationally out of reach, particularly due to the curse of dimensionality.
