Deceased Man “Returns to Life” and Appears in Court
A thought-provoking incident occurred in an Arizona courtroom: the image of Christopher Pelkey, who was murdered in a road rage incident in 2021, suddenly appeared on a giant screen. This wasn’t old footage, but a digital version created with artificial intelligence.
His family members created a video where Christopher, in his own image and voice, addressed the court, the murderer, and everyone present, speaking about forgiveness and hope.
The judge, those present, and even the murderer were left speechless.
This case sparked a heated public debate: Will this be what testimony looks like in the future?
Can artificial intelligence give a “voice” back to those who are gone, and how will this impact the justice system?
AI-Created Fluorescent Protein
Researchers at EvolutionaryScale have developed a new fluorescent protein named esmGFP, which does not exist in nature. The unique protein, ESM3, was created using AI by predicting protein sequences and simulating evolutionary processes. It shows potential for diverse applications in medicine and biotechnology.
Hospital with AI Doctors
China is breaking records by introducing the world’s first hospital entirely run by 42 artificial intelligence doctors. At the innovative Agent Hospital, smart AI agents operate in 21 medical departments, performing all stages of treatment: patient admission, diagnosis, rehabilitation, and follow-up, all without human intervention. In just a few days, the digital doctors treated over 10,000 simulated patients (through medical case simulations), a task that would take human doctors about two years. An impressive accuracy rate of 93.06% was recorded in diagnosing major respiratory diseases. This development is cautiously advancing under strict regulation to ensure the safe and effective integration of artificial intelligence into the healthcare system.
