Posted Jun 30, 2025 at 6:55 PM UTC We totally used gen-AI, but you weren't supposed to notice.
11 Bit Studios has taken to social media to explain how gen-AI wound up in its survival base-builder The Alters. According to the company's explanation, gen-AI was used for placeholder text for a single graphical asset and to translate in-game movies into languages other than English. Fans found out because in some places, bits of the AI-prompt remained in the final text. 11 Bit says it's working on updating the assets in question.

Microsoft says its new health AI beat doctors in accurate diagnoses by a mile
Microsoft said its medical AI system diagnosed cases more accurately than human doctors by a wide margin. In a blog post published on Monday, the tech giant said its AI system, the Microsoft AI Diagnostic Orchestrator, diagnosed cases four times as accurately as a group of experienced physicians in a test. Microsoft's study comes as AI tools rapidly make their way into hospitals and clinics, raising questions about how much of medicine can or should be automated and what role doctors will play as diagnostic AI systems get more capable. The experiment involved 304 case studies sourced from the New England Journal of Medicine. Both the AI and physicians had to solve these cases step by step, just like they would in a real clinic: ordering tests, asking questions, and narrowing down possibilities. The AI system was paired with large language models from tech companies like OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic, and Google. When coupled with OpenAI's o3, the AI diagnostic system correctly solved 85.5% of the cases, Microsoft said. By contrast, 21 practicing physicians from the US and UK — each with five to 20 years of experience — averaged 20% accuracy across the completed cases, the companyadded. In the study, the doctors did not have access to resources they might typically tap for diagnostics, including coworkers, books, and AI. The AI system also solved cases "more cost-effectively" than its human counterparts, Microsoft said. "Our findings also suggest that AI reduce unnecessary healthcare costs. US health spending is nearing 20% of US GDP, with up to 25% of that estimated to be wasted," it added. "We're taking a big step towards medical superintelligence," said Mustafa Suleyman, the CEO of Microsoft's AI division, in a post on X. He added that the cases used in the study are "some of the toughest and most diagnostically complex" a physician can face. Suleyman previously led AI efforts at Google. Microsoft did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider. Will AI replace doctors? Microsoft said in the blog post that AI "represents a complement to doctors and other health professionals." "While this technology is advancing rapidly, their clinical roles are much broader than simply making a diagnosis. They need to navigate ambiguity and build trust with patients and their families in a way that AI isn't set up to do," Microsoft said. "Clinical roles will, we believe, evolve with AI," it added. Tech leaders like Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates have said that AI could help solve the long-standing shortage of doctors. "AI will come in and provide medical IQ, and there won't be a shortage," he said on an episode of the "People by WTF" podcast published in April. But doctors have told BI that AI can't and shouldn't replace clinicians just yet. AI can't replicate physicians' presence, empathy, and nuanced judgment in uncertain or complex conditions, said Dr. Shravan Verma, the CEO of a Singapore-based health tech startup. Chatbots and AI tools can handle the first mile of care, but they must escalate to qualified professionals when needed, he told BI last month.

China's AI Chipmaker Raises Stakes Before IPO
Biren Technology has just banked 1.5 billion ($209 million) in a fresh funding round as it gears up for a Hong Kong IPOan important bet on homegrown AI chips now that U.S. processors are off-limits. According to people familiar with the deal, Biren's latest fundraising values the company at 15.5 billion ($2.15 billion) post-money, up from 14 billion before the round. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with NVDA. State-backed investors joined private backers to support development of the company's next-generation GPUs, which aim to rival Nvidia's (NASDAQ:NVDA) and AMD's (NASDAQ:AMD) hardware now barred from export to China. Biren sold about 400 million ($56 million) of chips last year and plans to file for an IPO in Hong Kong as soon as August. With U.S. export controls banning advanced AI processorsincluding Nvidia's H100 and H20 series and AMD's top-end acceleratorsChinese cloud providers and tech giants have little choice but to lean on domestic suppliers. Biren's 2022 BR100 launch claimed parity with Nvidia's H100, positioning it as the poster child for China's semiconductor self-sufficiency push. Its successor failurecould set the tone for a broader local chip industry forced to innovate without TSMC's foundry access. Biren's founders, former SenseTime president Zhang Wen and ex-Qualcomm/Huawei engineer Jiao Guofang, are wagering that enough capital and state support can overcome manufacturing hurdles.

Over half of sports fans are turning to AI or gen AI for more personalized content
Press contact:Elsa Estager BergerouTel: +33 6 59 62 55 13Email: Over half of sports fans are turning to AI or gen AI for more personalized content AI has overtaken traditional search engines as the main source for sports information, with 67% of fans wanting all sports data aggregated in one place. Digital insights are filling gaps in the live sports experience, with nearly 70% of fans seeking stats related to team, players and playing conditions primarily pre-match and during breaks. Spectators want balance between tech innovation and authenticity, with almost three out of five fans worrying that too much technology could impact the thrill of live sport. Paris, July 1, 2025 – The Capgemini Research Institute today released its latest report, 'Beyond the game: The new era of AI-powered sports engagement', revealing how AI and generative AI (gen AI) are reshaping the global fan experience. As AI-powered tools become the primary gateway for sports content and data, fans still seek the thrill of authentic, in-person moments, therefore highlighting the need to strike a balance between the digital and physical worlds of sport. AI and gen AI power the next era of fan engagementAI is redefining how fans interact with sports. Over half (54%) of them now use AI or gen AI tools as their main source of information with 59% trusting content generated by these technologies. From personalized match summaries to real-time highlights reels, fans increasingly expect AI and gen AI to aggregate all sports-related content – 67% want a single, streamlined platform where they can discover information aggregated from websites, search engines and social media. However, personalization and interactivity are key to ensuring a genuine and authentic fan experience. While the report finds fans are returning to stadiums since the pandemic, with 37% already having attended live matches this year, AI is transforming how fans engage with sports overall. The technology is delivering tailored updates that enhance their experience of the game, with stats and facts about their favorite teams, fixtures, and players. Indeed, 64% of fans want AI to provide updates customized to their preferences, a similar number want to compete against well-known players in a virtual space during live games, and 58% would like to replay matches using 'what-if' scenarios. Just over a quarter (27%) are even willing to pay a premium for these AI-driven, interactive experiences. For instance, Tour de France fans can now play and follow their Fantasy team in real time, vote and elect the most combative rider of the day or even experience the race from inside an official fans car. 'The true power of AI in sports, and especially gen AI, lies in its ability to transform how fans connect with the game, with athletes, and with each other,' explained Pascal Brier, Chief Innovation Officer at Capgemini and Member of the Group Executive Committee. 'As technology evolves, unlocking new ways for fans to curate their own unique experience, will be a blend of real-time data with immersive, interactive opportunities. The challenge is to ensure that these innovations deepen the emotional connections that make sport so powerful for passionate supporters, while preserving the authenticity and integrity that defines the spirit of the game.' Balancing innovation with responsibility and the thrill of live sportsSports fans today are hungry for data but the report shows their digital engagement peaks before matches and during breaks, rather than during the live play itself. Nearly 70% of fans want access to player metrics and live match data, using these insights to enrich their understanding when the action pauses. By meeting fans' appetite for insights at these key moments, data enriches the overall viewing experience while keeping the thrill of live sports intact. While digital innovation is widely embraced, nearly 60% of sports fans are concerned that too much technology could dampen the excitement of attending events, and over half fear it could diminish their overall enjoyment of the game or match. This highlights the importance of finding the right balance – leveraging technology to elevate the fan experience while preserving what makes live sports so uniquely compelling. The report finds that there is a lack of awareness about data privacy aspects of AI-powered sports viewing example, whereas about half of Gen Y and Gen Z fans are aware of the various kinds of data collected and explicitly consent to its storage, this is true for only 38% and 36% of baby boomers, respectively. There are also concerns about misinformation, as two-thirds of fans admit being worried that the spread of unverified content on AI or gen AI platforms could increase the risk of athletes being targeted or harassed by disgruntled supporters. What's more, 57% of fans are concerned about the generation of false content resulting in the spread of misinformation about players or sports teams. Stadiums invest in tech to meet rising fan expectationsThe report finds that stadium operators are investing in apps and smart technologies to create smoother, more immersive experiences for digital-native audiences. Over half of attendees say ticketing, scheduling, and real-time apps enhance their stadium experience, while facial recognition entry and digital navigation are also valued.
