AI Innovations and Controversies: From Healthcare to Regulation

In this episode, we explore groundbreaking advancements in AI, including Google's CTG-net for fetal health monitoring and Purdue University's RAPTOR for counterfeit chip detection. We also discuss Midjourney's controversial decision to block political images of Biden and Trump, and the implications of California Governor Gavin Newsom's veto on AI safety regulations. Join us as we navigate the intersection of technology, ethics, and public policy in the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence.
