Verse 45: My Bad Handwriting

Hello again! Did you hear the one about the teacher who complained my handwriting was too sloppy? Well, if only she could see that I’m a doctor now! This pun could soon be irrelevant, as Google is developing an AI model that can decipher difficult-to-read handwriting with a focus on notes and prescriptions written by doctors. For me though, this one will remain valid, my handwriting is so bad that Google uses it for captcha!!

Among items of note in this issue; AI that powers chatbots and search queries could discover new drugs, DeepMind develops an AI tool to write scripts and screenplays, and researchers develop a new ML approach that creates ‘combination’ to kill cancer cells.
