The Pentagon has concluded its pilot program exploring the use of AI chatbots in military healthcare. Managed by the Department of Defense’s Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO), the program focused on using large-language models (LLM) for tasks like clinical note summarization and medical advice. Over 200 healthcare providers and analysts participated, identifying over 800 potential vulnerabilities and biases in the chatbots' application for military medicine. The findings will guide future research and development of Generative AI (GenAI) systems, aiming for better tools in military and defense operations. This move comes as AI is being increasingly integrated into defense tech, with firms like Meta offering their models for national security purposes. . . . . #pentagon #ai #chatbot #military #cdao #llm #noncrypto #cryptostan #thecryptocounttry

With forecasts that it may eventually reach up to $200K, Bitcoin is now rising slowly but consistently, circling around $96,000. However, Ethereum (ETH) is becoming more and more prominent. Analysts believe that $5,700 will be the next significant milestone for ETH after it has passed three important price retests. This is the beginning of a possible altseason in which Ethereum is at the forefront. Since many altcoins have already hit all-time highs, ETH's ascent may represent the start of a larger altcoin rally. Ethereum's expansion is expected to propel the next major wave in cryptocurrency, which is probably going to begin this quarter, as Bitcoin's recovery continues. . . . . #ethereum #altseasin #cryptoseason #thecryptocountry #cryptostan #price #trading

Bitcoin's price is currently hovering around the critical $88,000 support zone, with analysts closely watching its next move. A dip below this level could push Bitcoin towards the $71,000 support mark, igniting concerns of intensified market volatility. Holding above $88K would signal stability and investor confidence, potentially fueling further price growth. In addition, Bitcoin recently experienced a significant dip following $42B in profit-taking by investors in December. This massive liquidation highlights market volatility, as many Bitcoin holders capitalized on the recent price surge, leading to a rapid sentiment shift from accumulation to liquidation. With uncertainty lingering, Bitcoin’s future direction hinges on maintaining key support levels amidst evolving investor sentiment. . . . . #bitcoin #btc #profits #price #cryptostan #thecryptocountry #forecast
