IMF warns AI will affect up to 40% of jobs worldwideIMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva predicts that artificial intelligence will affect up to 40% of jobs worldwide. "Advanced economies face greater risks from AI — but also more opportunities to leverage its benefits — compared with emerging market and developing economies," Georgieva wrote in a blog post on Sunday, citing the IMF's recent analysis on the subject. This is because of AI's "ability to impact high-skilled jobs," Georgieva said. And in the case of advanced economies, some 60% of jobs may be affected by AI, she added. "Roughly half the exposed jobs may benefit from AI integration, enhancing productivity. For the other half, AI applications may execute key tasks currently performed by humans, which could lower labor demand, leading to lower wages and reduced hiring," Georgieva wrote.

The neural network combines two advanced machine learning algorithms tailored to identify pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the most prevalent form of pancreatic cancer. Unlike existing PDAC screening, which captures only 10% of cases, PRISM achieved a remarkable 35% accuracy. What sets MIT's PRISM apart is its unique development approach. The neural network was meticulously crafted using diverse sets of authentic electronic health records sourced from various US health institutions. With data from over 5 million patients, the scale of information surpassed previous benchmarks in this diagnostic AI research realm, making PRISM a pioneering tool in pancreatic cancer screening.

GameStop is closing its NFT marketplace after 18 monthsGameStop has decided to shut down its NFT marketplace, citing "the continuing regulatory uncertainty of the crypto space" as the primary reason. Launched on Halloween in 2022, the platform focused on gaming assets through a partnership with ImmutableX, an Ethereum layer 2 blockchain. This move follows GameStop's previous exit from the crypto space when it discontinued its crypto wallet in August. Despite the closure, customers can still sell their NFTs on other platforms, as the digital assets are hosted on the blockchain rather than any one storefront. Although the marketplace struggled to gain traction in NFT trading volumes, this decision marks a notable shift for GameStop, which had initially ventured into Web3 to engage its retail trader community in 2022. FedEx announces data-driven e-commerce platformFedEx announced Sunday that it will launch a new "data-driven commerce platform" this fall called fdx that it says will give online merchants “end-to-end e-commerce solutions. Leveraging features from the 2020 acquisition of ShopRunner, fdx aims to enhance supply chain management with features like estimated delivery dates and data on carbon impact. The platform promises "more efficient, cost-effective deliveries" through data optimization. FedEx intends to introduce a "custom post-purchase experience," ensuring brands deliver precise shipment information to customers. This move is seen as a strategic response to the threat posed by Amazon, a longstanding competitor that has impacted FedEx's business. As FedEx seeks to regain market share lost to Amazon, the launch of fdx positions the company to offer robust e-commerce solutions and compete in the evolving logistics landscape. Google Play Store in India blocks Binance and OKXGoogle Play Store in India has removed Binance and OKX crypto exchange apps following a government noncompliance notice, mirroring Apple's App Store decision in December 2023. On December 28, 2023, India's Ministry of Finance's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) issued notices to several exchanges, including Binance, for illegal operations in India. The FIU demanded registration as a "reporting entity" for exchanges serving Indian users and suggested blocking their websites for non-compliance. While Google Play Store blocked Binance and OKX, the Binance application and website are still available and working for existing users. In a post on X, Binance South Asia said it is aware of the app blockage in India and assured users that their funds are safe.
