AI Impact Summit 2025: Health Care Leaders Stress Need for Transparency
Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. After a hot day in Sonoma, attendees at Newsweek's AI Impact Summit enjoyed a cooler morning on Tuesday. The panels today explored AI use cases in industries like health care, filmmaking, weather forecasting, grocery delivery and the public sector. During the first panel, Cognizant Americas President Surya Gummadi said the three main problems facing health care organizations are reducing costs, improving quality of care and enhancing the patient experience. Transparency was a big theme for AI adoption in health care – not only when dealing with medical records and personal data, but also for why and how organizations are implementing automation tools. While there are some health care organizations that may use AI to replace employees, UMass Medicine's Allen Chang doesn't believe that's the case. He did, however, emphasize that health care organizations cannot ignore the real concerns employees have about job loss.

More NICK OTTO "We need to be transparent about the strategy around what AI means to them, and we need to communicate with our colleagues and our employees," Chang said. At a later panel, Dr. Ashis Barad, the chief digital and technology officer at the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS), explained how the hospital is using AI to help improve patient experience after they leave the operating room. Both Barad and his co-panelist, Joydeep Ganguly, SVP of corporate operations at Gilead Sciences, emphasized that they see AI as less of a replacement for clinicians and more of a tool to offload the more mundane administrative tasks.

More NICK OTTO "We can't be a company that hires the brightest people in the world and get them preoccupied with an ecosystem of tasks that don't have value right now," Ganguly said. One of the most anticipated panels of the summit was the conversation with executives from AI-native film studios Secret Level and Asteria. The use of AI in creative pursuits like filmmaking is still new and has garnered a lot of skepticism. But Ben Lock of Asteria and Eric Shamlin of Secret Level said this emerging technology will help break down traditional barriers to filmmaking. "We can actually create high production value at a much lower cost, which means we can make more movies," Lock said.

More NICK OTTO Other panelists spoke about how their organizations are using AI to better serve the specific needs of stakeholders. In a one-on-one discussion, Instacart's chief product officer Daniel Danker explained how the company is using advanced AI agents to better understand the specific habits, dietary restrictions and needs of a household to build custom plans and make informed grocery shopping decisions. AI is also being used in the public sector to solve local problems facing cities and their residents. Suma Nallapati, the chief innovation officer for the city and county of Denver, explained how residents can speak directly to the city's AI chatbot, Sunny, to answer questions and access government resources. With limited resources, city governments can use AI tools to create better communities. "Investment in the city is an investment in your employees," Charlitta Hatch, the chief data and analytics officer for the city of Charlotte, North Carolina, said.

More NICK OTTO Weather and climate disasters are creating major issues that cities of all sizes across the U.S. are facing. The Weather Channel President Sheri Bachstein explained how AI is being used to provide better forecasting at a hyper-local level and improve emergency response. "Weather is about patterns," she said, "and AI excels at recognizing patterns and change, something the human eye can't do." Day two of the summit also included networking breaks, roundtable discussions and demonstrations from Cognizant, Google Cloud, The Marketing Cloud, City of Denver, EVOM AI Piano, Doctronic, Serve Robotics and Zoom.

CARE Hospitals Unveils "The Power of Three" Campaign to Transform Emergency Care
VMPL Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], May 28: CARE Hospitals, one of India's leading healthcare providers, has launched a new national campaign called "The Power of Three." This campaign highlights CARE Hospitals' dedication to clinical excellence, rapid response, and compassionate care, setting a new benchmark for emergency healthcare across India. As part of this campaign, CARE Hospitals has launched 5G ambulances across all its network hospitals in Hyderabad to make emergency care faster and smarter. For the first time, Hyderabad will witness such comprehensive emergency coverage, where technology and medical expertise come together to ensure timely, life-saving interventions at every stage. These high-tech ambulances send real-time updates about the patient's condition to the hospital, so doctors are ready even before the patient arrives. They allow smooth communication between the ambulance and hospital teams, quick sharing of vital information, and live tracking for faster response. The system also keeps patient data safe and helps improve care through smart alerts and reports, saving more lives when every minute counts. The campaign reflects CARE Hospitals' 28-year journey of saving lives through advanced medical care. It highlights how emergency and specialty treatments have improved over the years and promises even faster and better care for patients in critical need. The campaign was launched by Varun Khanna, Group Managing Director, QCIL, alongside Vishal Maheshwari, Group CFO; Shalabh Dang, Group Chief Sales and Marketing Officer; Dr. Nikhil Mathur, Group Chief of Medical Services; Biju Nair, Zonal HCOO; and Dr. Kiran Kumar, Head of Emergency Medicine, along with other hospital heads & leadership of CARE. The event took place at CARE Hospitals - Banjara Hills with participation from senior doctors, hospital staff, and patients whose lives were transformed by timely emergency care. Speaking on the significance of the campaign, Varun Khanna, Group Managing Director, QCIL said, "This is a proud moment for CARE Hospitals and for healthcare in India. For over three decades, CARE has been synonymous with timely, quality, and compassionate care. With this emergency response commitment, we are reinforcing that legacy while setting a national standard. The 'The Power of Three' campaign embodies our belief that access, speed, and clinical excellence must work together to save lives. We promise every patient and family that we will be there when they need us the most." As part of "The Power of Three" campaign, CARE Hospitals has made three important promises to the public: * All emergency calls will be answered within three rings * An ambulance will pick-up the patient within 30 minutes anywhere in Hyderabad * At designated hospitals--Banjara Hills, Hitech City, Nampally, Malakpet, Musheerabad, and Indore--an Emergency Room doctor will attend to the patient within minutes of arrival to the emergency. The public is encouraged to save the emergency helpline number: 040-61656565 These promises reflect CARE Hospitals' mission to redefine emergency healthcare, making it timely, accessible, and life-saving. They also help the community by giving people quick medical help when it matters most, building trust, and increasing the chances of saving lives. The campaign also celebrates 28 years of CARE Hospitals and how emergency services have grown stronger each year. During the event, presented case studies and emergency response milestones that demonstrate how swift intervention has positively impacted patient outcomes. Patients and their families shared emotional stories of how they were saved by the emergency teams at CARE. Each story reinforcing the narrative, "From Then to Now: Celebrating CARE's Journey Through Lives Saved in Minutes." These stories underscore the critical importance of the GOLDEN HOUR, the vital first hour after a medical emergency, where prompt medical care can make the difference between life and death, recovery and disability. They exemplify the lives touched, healed, and transformed through CARE Hospitals' commitment to rapid, high-quality medical care across specialties. The event concluded with a symbolic flag-off of newly branded 5G ambulances, marking the rollout of this campaign across all CARE Hospitals locations nationwide, ensuring the public is informed and empowered to act quickly during emergencies.

Stop making cents: US Mint moves forward with plans to kill the penny
WASHINGTON: The Trump administration says making cents doesn't make sense anymore. The US Mint has made its final order of penny blanks and plans to stop producing the coin when those run out, a Treasury Department official confirmed Thursday. This move comes as the cost of making pennies has increased markedly, by upward of 20% in 2024, according to the Treasury. By stopping the penny's production, the Treasury expects an immediate annual savings of $56 million in reduced material costs, according to the official, who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity to preview the news. In February, President Donald Trump announced that he had ordered his administration to cease production of the 1-cent coin. 'For far too long the United States has minted pennies which literally cost us more than 2 cents. This is so wasteful!' Trump wrote at that time in a post on his Truth Social site. 'I have instructed my Secretary of the US Treasury to stop producing new pennies.' There are about 114 billion pennies currently in circulation in the United States — that's $1.14 billion — but they are greatly underutilized, the Treasury says. The penny was one of the first coins made by the US Mint after its establishment in 1792. The nation's treasury secretary has the authority to mint and issue coins 'in amounts the secretary decides are necessary to meet the needs of the United States.' Advocates for ditching the penny cite its high production cost — almost 4 cents per penny now, according to the US Mint — and limited utility. Fans of the penny cite its usefulness in charity drives and relative bargain in production costs compared with the nickel, which costs almost 14 cents to mint. The Wall Street Journal first reported the news. Pennies are the most popular coin made by the US Mint, which reported making 3.2 billion of them last year. That's more than half of all the new coins it made last year. Congress, which dictates currency specifications such as the size and metal content of coins, could make Trump's order permanent through law. But past congressional efforts to ditch the penny have failed. Two bipartisan bills to kill the penny permanently were introduced this year. Sens. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., introduced the Make Sense Not Cents Act this month. In April, Reps. Lisa McClain, R-Mich., and Robert Garcia, D-Calif., along with Sens. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., introduced the Common Cents Act. Jay Zagorsky, professor of markets, public policy, and law at Boston University, said that while he supports the move to end penny production, Congress must include language in any proposed legislation to require rounding up in pricing, which will eliminate the demand for pennies. Zagorsky, who recently published a book called 'The Power of Cash: Why Using Paper Money is Good for You and Society,' said otherwise simply ditching the penny will only increase demand for nickels, which are even more expensive, at 14 cents to produce. 'If we suddenly have to produce a lot of nickels — and we lose more money on producing every nickel — eliminating the penny doesn't make any sense.' Mark Weller, executive director of the Americans for Common Cents group — which conducts research and provides information to Congress and the Executive Branch on the value and benefits of the penny — says 'there has been an evolution over the past six months that inevitably the production of the penny will be halted.' His group advocates for the U.S. to find ways to reduce the cost of producing the nickel, especially since it will be more in demand once the penny is totally eliminated from circulation. 'It's incumbent on Treasury to come up with a cheaper way to make the nickel,' Weller said. 'Let's make sure we're making our coins as least expensively as possible and maintaining the option to use cash in transactions.'

Call the Midwife star confirmed for Jane Austen role in new "beautiful" BBC period drama
An overlooked Pride and Prejudice character will take centre stage in a "beautiful" upcoming BBC series starring Call the Midwife's Ella Bruccoleri. Jane Austen's beloved classic revolves around headstrong protagonist Elizabeth Bennet, giving readers a glimpse of her eldest sister Jane's goodheartedness and beauty, and more than a hint of the recklessness of younger sisters Kitty and Lydia. The middle sister, Mary, doesn't appear very often in the novel. When she does, she's described as a bookish, wallflower character, a homebody who has some social awkwardness to her and doesn't love partaking in the activities of polite society. Inspired by the novel of the same name by Janice Hadlow, The Other Bennet Sister turns Mary's story into a bigger arc of self-discovery and independence as she steps out of her sisters' shadow. Coming to BBC One at a later date, the series will be primarily written by Sarah Quintrell (The Power), while Maddie Dai (We Were Dangerous) will pen one of the 10 episodes. Related: Bruccoleri, known for playing Sister Frances in Call the Midwife, takes on the role of Mary. Celebrating the announcement, the star shared that she's always "related more" to the middle Bennet sister than protagonist Lizzy. "As someone who has always related more to Mary than Lizzy – something that was confirmed even more by reading Janice Hadlow's brilliant novel – I feel incredibly lucky to be spending these next few months exploring her world in depth, as envisioned by these incredible women," she said in a statement. "Sarah Quintrell's scripts are packed full of beautiful idiosyncratic detail, empathy, humour and such warmth... revealing that beneath Mary's awkwardness and formality, lies a woman longing for purpose and connection." As for Quintrell, the writer said: "I feel incredibly lucky to have Ella Bruccoleri on board as Mary Bennet. She brings the perfect balance of heart, sensitivity and humour to the role. I can't wait for audiences to see her take centre stage and shine!" Author Janice Hadlow joined in praising Bruccoleri, saying: "I'm absolutely delighted that Ella will be playing Mary Bennet. I know she'll be the Mary I've always imagined - awkward, stiff, always saying the wrong thing – but also vulnerable, lonely and desperate to find love. "I'm sure she'll make audiences feel her plight as deeply as I do, and think she'll make the perfect Other Bennet Sister." Much like in the novel, the series is set to take Mary away from Meryton and into the soirees of Regency London, with a detour to the Lake District. "Ella Bruccoleri is the perfect choice to lead The Other Bennet Sister," executive producer Jane Tranter said. "Mary's journey takes her from overlooked to unforgettable, and I am positive that Ella will capture every shade of that transformation with wit, grace, and emotional depth. We are thrilled to have her at the heart of this story." Bruccoleri's other acting credits include Bridgerton, Mark Gatiss's Bookish, Extraordinary, murder mystery Ludwig and Paddington threequel, Paddington in Peru. The Other Bennet Sister will be on BBC iPlayer and BBC One, and in the US and Canada it will be on BritBox. Digital Spy's first print magazine is here!
