Mount Sinai’s ‘AEquity’ AI Tool Aims to Eliminate Healthcare Algorithm Bias Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have introduced AEquity, a novel AI tool designed to detect and mitigate biases in healthcare machine learning algorithms. As detailed in the Journal of Medical Internet Research, this tool confronts the critical challenge of algorithmic bias, which can compromise the accuracy of medical diagnoses and treatment strategies. AEquity was validated on diverse health datasets, including medical imagery and patient records, successfully identifying both known and previously undiscovered biases. The primary objective of AEquity is to ensure AI-driven healthcare solutions are both effective and equitable for all patient demographics, particularly those underrepresented in training data. The framework is built for adaptability, supporting a wide array of machine learning models. ...

Stellantis Halts Level 3 Autonomous Driving Program, Citing High Costs and Low Demand Stellantis has officially suspended the development and launch of its Level 3 autonomous driving system, known as AutoDrive. The decision to halt the self-driving technology program is attributed to significant development costs, technical complexity, and a perceived lack of consumer demand for the advanced feature. While the company stated the AV technology is ready for deployment, it has been put on hold with no immediate plans for a market launch. This move is seen as a strategic reset for the automaker, which will now increase its reliance on external suppliers and technology partners like aiMotive for future autonomous systems. The work already completed on the Level 3 system will be integrated into future platform developments, reflecting the broader challenges legacy automakers face in the competitive autonomous vehicle sector. ...

MIT Report: 95% of Enterprise GenAI Projects Fail to Deliver ROI A new report from MIT’s NANDA initiative reveals that a staggering 95% of enterprise generative AI pilot programs are failing to produce a significant return on investment. Despite investments totaling between $35 and $40 billion in the US, only 5% of organizations have successfully deployed AI tools into production at scale. The report, titled “The GenAI Divide: State of AI in Business 2025,” is based on interviews with enterprise leaders, analysis of public AI initiatives, and a survey of business professionals. The primary reasons for failure are not a lack of infrastructure or talent, but rather the inability of AI systems to retain data, adapt, and learn over time. The study also found that purchasing AI tools from vendors and forming partnerships has a significantly higher success rate than in-house development. ...
