The price and positioning of the Apple Watch range makes it aspirational and perhaps a bit too expensive for many of us, but what it has done is make smartwatches more desirable on the whole. The result of this is a flourishing budget smartwatch segment, supported by various brands leveraging their expertise in smartphones and Bluetooth connectivity to offer capable wearable technology at reasonable prices. This includes Xiaomi, which recently launched the Redmi Watch 3 Active, a health-focused smartwatch priced at Rs. 2,999. My previous experience with budget smartwatches hasn't been too great when it comes to fitness tracking; affordable devices tend to be best used for core functionality, such as notification mirroring and watch face customisability. It will be worth seeing if the Redmi Watch 3 Active can live up to its name and work well as a fitness and health tracker, apart from ticking the boxes for a budget smartwatch. Find out if the Redmi Watch 3 Active is worth the pric...

An artificial intelligence ( AI ) based approach demonstrated diagnostic performance comparable to experienced radiologists in detecting gall bladder cancer at a hospital in Chandigarh, according to a study published in The Lancet Regional Health – Southeast Asia journal. Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with a poor detection and a high mortality rate. Early diagnosis is challenging because benign gallbladder lesions can have similar imaging features, the researchers said. The team at Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) in Chandigarh and Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), New Delhi, aimed to develop and validate a deep learning (DL) model for GBC detection using abdominal ultrasound and compare its performance with radiologists. Deep learning is a method in AI that teaches computers to process data in a way that is inspired by the human brain. The study used abdominal ultrasound data from patients with gallbladder lesions a...

Meta Platforms is working on a new artificial-intelligence system intended to be as powerful as the most advanced model offered by OpenAI , the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday, citing people familiar with the matter. The Facebook parent is aiming for its new AI model to be ready next year, the Journal said, adding it will be several times more powerful than its commercial version dubbed Llama 2. Llama 2 is Meta's open source AI language model launched in July, and distributed by Microsoft's cloud Azure services to compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard . The planned system, details of which could still change, would help other companies build services that produce sophisticated text, analysis and other output, the newspaper reported. Meta expects to start training the new AI system, known as a large language model, in early 2024, the report added. Meta did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
