Instnt Named Newsweek AI Impact Award Winner

Business Wire18-06-2025
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Instnt, the first AI-powered platform offering insurance coverage for identity and first-party fraud losses, announced today its recognition as an AI Finance: Best Outcomes, Mitigating Fraud winner in Newsweek's inaugural AI Impact Awards.
Fraud remains a global crisis, with businesses losing $485.6 billion in 2023. Despite the availability of advanced fraud detection tools, financial institutions continue to suffer substantial financial losses from fraud, resulting in operational inefficiencies, restricted customer approvals, and significant compliance challenges.
Instnt is the first and only AI-powered identity fraud loss insurance solution, integrating machine learning-driven risk assessment with access to insurance-backed financial protection. With it, businesses can now offload fraud loss liability while approving more legitimate customers with confidence. Unlike traditional fraud detection tools that merely flag suspicious activity, Instnt absorbs the financial impact of fraud, allowing businesses to focus on growth, customer acquisition, and financial resilience.
'Fraud loss is not going away,' said Sunil Madhu, Founder and CEO of Instnt. 'As we continue to weather current economic uncertainty and the results of industry deregulation, banks need to be increasingly strategic in their fraud risk mitigation and how they leverage their tier 1 capital reserves. At Instnt, we're proud to finally offer them a viable solution - removing the cost of fraud loss from their balance sheets and opening up new avenues for growth and innovation without added risk.'
The Newsweek AI Impact Awards identify and recognize practitioners' unique use of AI to solve everyday business challenges, celebrating not the big ideas, but instead the impact and outcomes of practical use. Winning entries were selected by a panel of expert judges from a variety of industries and were handpicked by the Newsweek editorial team. ​To view the full list of winners, click here.

Microsoft Unveils BioEmu AI to Revolutionise Drug Discovery

The model is trained on a massive dataset over 200 milliseconds of molecular dynamics simulations and half a million protein stability experiments You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Microsoft has introduced BioEmu, a breakthrough artificial intelligence system designed to fast-track the understanding of protein behaviour, a crucial factor in drug development and disease research. Announced by Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella on X, BioEmu promises to cut down years of complex simulations to just hours. "Understanding protein motion is essential to biology and drug discovery," Nadella noted. "With BioEmu, we're delivering insights in hours that used to take years." Developed by the AI for Science team at Microsoft Research, BioEmu predicts the dynamic shapes and movements of proteins, offering a much-needed leap in understanding how proteins function in the human body. These structural shifts, especially hard-to-detect ones like cryptic binding pockets, are often central to disease mechanisms and drug targeting. Trained on a massive dataset over 200 milliseconds of molecular dynamics simulations and half a million protein stability experiments—BioEmu matches real-world experimental stability data with prediction errors under 1 kcal/mol and high correlation scores. It also drastically reduces the computational cost compared to traditional GPU-heavy simulations. The system stands out for its ability to simulate protein "ensembles"—the various shapes proteins adopt—which are vital to grasping how they operate in biological environments. Published in Science, BioEmu is positioned as a generative AI model that could significantly accelerate drug development, synthetic biology, and biomedical research.

Elon Musk Confirms Grok AI Integration in Tesla Vehicles

The integration will be limited to newer Tesla models equipped with Hardware 3 or above You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Elon Musk has announced that Grok, the generative AI chatbot developed by xAI, will be integrated into Tesla vehicles in the near future. The update, shared on X (formerly Twitter), follows the recent release of Grok 4, the latest version of the AI model that features enhanced reasoning capabilities and an expressive voice interface. According to Musk, the rollout is expected to happen "next week at the latest," making way for conversational AI features to become part of the Tesla driving experience. The feature will reportedly allow drivers to engage in natural voice interactions with their vehicles. Grok was initially launched in 2023 and has undergone several updates. The fourth version includes a voice assistant named Eve, designed to convey emotional tone, as well as a range of customisable personality modes—some of which have raised concerns. Firmware leaks suggest that modes such as "therapist," "argumentative," and "unhinged" are part of the system, with some flagged as not safe for work (NSFW). The integration will be limited to newer Tesla models equipped with Hardware 3 or above. In addition to its automotive applications, Grok is also expected to be used in Tesla's humanoid robot project, Optimus, reflecting xAI's broader plans to embed the technology across different platforms. Despite its development, Grok has faced scrutiny for producing offensive and politically sensitive outputs. Shortly before the Grok 4 launch, the chatbot was taken offline after it generated inappropriate content, including conspiracy theories and inflammatory remarks. The company attributed this behaviour to the model's excessive responsiveness to user prompts and said it was addressing the issue. Grok is currently available through a paid subscription model, with basic access starting at USD 30 per month and a higher-tier "Heavy" plan offered at USD 300. xAI has indicated that future versions may include specialised tools for video content creation and software development, though specific release timelines have not been disclosed.
