Aliyun Open Source Database AI Algorithm PilotScope

Data to be translated: Alibaba Cloud has launched PilotScope, a free open-source database AI algorithm, which enables the one-click deployment of AI algorithms within databases through abstract and generalized modules and interface definitions at the database and AI system levels. Experimental data shows that embedding AI algorithms into databases using PilotScope, compared to traditional hard-coded methods, enhances the speed of tasks such as query optimization by 1 to 2 times. Currently, PilotScope is being piloted within Alibaba Cloud and has been made freely available to the public through open-source platforms like GitHub and the Modelscope community.

Brazilian Regulators Ban Meta from Using Citizen Data for AI Model Training

The Brazilian National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) issued a "precautionary measure" prohibiting Meta, Inc. from using its citizens' data to train AI algorithms. This decision immediately suspended the changes made to Meta's privacy policy last month, which added the company's AI training to its data handling disclosures.The ANPD stated: "Following an initial analysis, considering the serious and irreparable risks to users, the agency has temporarily ordered the suspension of the privacy pol

U.S. Largest Health Insurance Company Accused of Using AI Algorithm with 90% Error Rate to Deny Claims, Facing Lawsuit Allegations

UnitedHealthcare, the largest health insurance company in the U.S., has been accused of using an AI algorithm with a 90% error rate to bypass doctors' judgment and deny critical medical coverage to elderly patients. The AI algorithm developed by NaviHealth, a subsidiary of UnitedHealth, has led to patients prematurely exiting rehabilitation programs and care facilities, forcing them to deplete their savings. Two family members of denied insurance claim patients have filed a lawsuit in Minnesota District Court, seeking to turn it into a class action that could impact tens of thousands nationwide.
