VideoMind: A Role-Based Agent for Temporal-Grounded Video Understanding

LLMs have shown impressive capabilities in reasoning tasks like Chain-of-Thought (CoT), enhancing accuracy and interpretability in complex problem-solving. While researchers are extending these capabilities to multi-modal domains, videos present unique challenges due to their temporal dimension. Unlike static images, videos require understanding dynamic interactions over time. Current visual CoT methods excel with static inputs but struggle with video content because they cannot explicitly localize or revisit specific moments in sequences. Humans overcome these challenges by breaking down complex problems, identifying and revisiting key moments, and synthesizing observations into coherent answers. This approach highlights the need for AI systems to manage

‘Ridiculous’ cuts to AI cancer tech funding in England could cost lives, experts warn | Health policy

Ministers have cut millions of pounds of funding for potentially life saving AI cancer technology in England, which cancer experts warn will increase waiting times and could cause more patients to die. Contouring is used in radiotherapy to ensure treatment is as effective and safe as possible. The tumour and normal tissue is “mapped” or contoured on to medical scans, to ensure the radiation targets the cancer while minimising damage to healthy tissues and organs. Normally, this is a slow, manual process that can take doctors between 20 and 150 minutes to complete. AI auto-contouring takes less than five minutes

Apple is Building an AI Agent-Powered Health App: Reports

Apple, the Cupertino giant, is reportedly developing a revamped version of its Health app powered by an AI agent, Bloomberg reported. It is called ‘Project Mulberry’ and features a health coach.  The report further indicated that development is progressing at full steam and the new version may launch with iOS 19.4, which could arrive soon or be delayed until next year.  The Health app will continue fetching data from connected Apple devices and third-party apps, and the AI coach is designed to use this data to offer recommendations and suggestions for improving the user’s health. Moreover, Apple is training AI

Designers say plans for UK copyright law risk ‘running roughshod’ over sector | Design

A proposed overhaul of copyright law risks “running roughshod” over a British design industry that has created such memorable products as the red phone box, the London underground map and the iPhone, according to a group of leading UK designers. In a letter to the technology secretary, Peter Kyle, 35 UK-based designers have urged the government to change cours on its plans to let artificial intelligence (AI) companies train their models on copyrighted work without permission. The proposal has already prompted fierce criticism from the worlds of publishing, music, film, TV and the performing arts, with leading creative figures including

India Integrates AI into TB Diagnosis to Push Early Detection & Treatment

Despite decades of effort to eliminate it, tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the most pressing health challenges in India. However, with the integration of AI into TB diagnosis and treatment, the country is witnessing a shift in its fight against the disease. The role of AI-assisted treatment and diagnosis in achieving a TB-free India was discussed at the recent World TB Day 2025 Summit held in Delhi. India’s intensified TB elimination strategy is deploying AI-powered handheld X-ray machines. These devices, combined with AI-based interpretation, have significantly improved the detection of asymptomatic TB cases. During the 100-day TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyan,

Bridget Phillipson eyes AI’s potential to free up teachers’ time | Artificial intelligence (AI)

AI tools will soon be in use in classrooms across England, but the education secretary, Bridget Phillipson, has one big question she wants answered: will they save time? Attending a Department for Education-sponsored hackathon in central London last week, Phillipson listened as developers explained how their tools could compile pupil reports, improve writing samples and even assess the quality of soldering done by trainee electrical engineers. After listening to one developer extol their AI writing analysis tool as “superhuman”, able to aggregate all the writing a pupil had ever done, Phillipson asked bluntly: “Do you know how much time it

Reactionless Propulsion Blueprint Released for Open Global Testing — The Aether Ignition Protocol

Hey r/Futurology, I’ve just released a document outlining a new propulsion architecture — not an ion thruster or plasma drive, but something far more radical: Reactionless Electromagnetic Propulsion — using gyroscopic stabilization, Tesla coil resonance, and structured field asymmetry to generate thrust without expelling mass. It’s called the Electromagnetic Gyroscopic Propulsion Engine (EGPE) — and this isn’t hype. It’s a serious, simulation-backed framework built for lab-scale validation and open-source replication. What’s inside the Aether Ignition Protocol: Lab-scale engineering diagrams Force asymmetry simulations Tesla coil–based containment theory Civil guidelines for deployment A roadmap for global verification — The Aether World Summit

How will they remember the ’20s???

What a time to be alive damn!!!! How many things are happening is incredible. Let's be aware of this period, it is not normal! The old generation will understand. This is the same as with the national team, suddenly title after title… But don't think it was always like this young people. You have to value and be aware to be part of the revolution. submitted by /u/Ok-Paramedic-5347 [comments] Source link

Will Trump’s Tariffs Derail India’s GCC Expansion? 

As US President Donald Trump renews his push for protectionist trade policies, his proposed reciprocal tariffs are causing concern among Indian exporters. Announced earlier this month, these tariffs—set to mirror the duties that other countries impose on American goods—are scheduled to take effect on April 2. While Trump’s decision to delay similar tariffs on cars and auto parts from Mexico and Canada gives US automakers some breathing space, there is little indication that India will receive the same consideration. Sanjay Varnmal, co-founder and CEO of Spyne.ai, stated that the real impact of these tariffs will depend on how India chooses
