The Rundown: Researchers from Cambridge University just developed a new AI tool that can predict whether patients showing mild cognitive impairment will progress to Alzheimerโs disease with over 80% accuracy. |
The details: |
The AI model analyzes data from cognitive assessments and MRI scans โ eliminating the need for costly, invasive procedures like PET scans and spinal taps. The tool categorizes patients into three groups: those likely to remain stable, those who may progress slowly, and those at risk of rapid decline. The AI accurately identified 82% of cases that would progress to Alzheimerโs and 81% of cases that would remain stable, significantly reducing misdiagnosis rates. The AIโs predictions were validated using 6 years of follow-up data and were tested on memory clinics in several countries to prove global application. |
Why it matters: With a rapidly aging global population, the number of dementia cases is expected to triple over the next 50 years โ and early detection is a key factor in how effective treatment can be. With AIโs prediction power, a new era of proactive treatment may soon be here for those struggling with cognitive decline. |

The Rundown: YouTube Music is rolling out a series of new AI-powered features, including the ability to search with sound and the testing of an AI-generated 'conversational radioโ. |
The details: |
โSound Searchโ will allow users to search YouTubeโs catalog of over 100M songs by singing, humming, or playing a tune. The feature launches a new fullscreen UI for audio input, with the results displaying song information and quick actions like โPlayโ or โSave to Libraryโ. An โAI-generated conversational radioโ is being tested with U.S. premium users, enabling creation of custom stations through natural language prompts. Users can describe their desired listening experience via a chat-based AI interface, with the feature generating a tailored playlist based on the prompt. |
Why it matters: If youโre the type of person who gets a song stuck in your head but canโt figure out the title, this feature is for you. With Spotify, Amazon Music, and now YouTube experimenting with AI, the musical tech arms race is a boon for users โ leading to more personalized listening experiences across the board. |

The Rundown: Microsoft researchers just published new research introducing SpreadsheetLLM and SheetCompressor, new frameworks designed to help LLMs better understand and process information within spreadsheets. |
The details: |
SpreadsheetLLM can comprehend both structured and unstructured data within spreadsheets, including multiple tables and varied data formats. SheetCompressor is a framework that compresses spreadsheets to achieve up to a 25x reduction in tokens while preserving critical information. By using spreadsheets as a "source of truth," SpreadsheetLLM may significantly reduce AI hallucinations, improving the reliability of AI outputs. |
Why it matters: Spreadsheets have long been the backbone of business analytics, but their complexity and format have often been an issue for AI systems. This increase in capabilities could supercharge AIโs use in areas like financial analysis and data science โ as well as eventually see more powerful integration of LLMs right into Excel. |
