The Rundown: A UK stroke patient is walking independently again thanks to "smart trousers" controlled by artificial intelligence. The tech stimulates her paralyzed leg to match her healthy leg's movements.
Details:
The "NeuroSkin" trousers have electrodes sending AI-modulated pulses, recreating the patient's natural gait by mirroring her healthy leg.
The tech allows the repetitive motion key for rehabbing brain connections.
The tech currently costs $5,500 a month to lease but may become more accessible in the future.
Noteworthy: This mobility tech marks yet another milestone in a growing list of AI-powered medical advances. As algorithms finely tune prosthetics and recovery tools, they could restore capabilities for millions with disabilities.

The Rundown: Google rolled out new AI capabilities for Search Generative Experience (SGE) to enhance learning and help users digest complex information.
Key upgrades:
‘SGE while browsing’ now summarizes key points and answers from web pages — not just within search.
Aims to help research complicated topics and speed up browsing while building on Google's existing AI-powered summaries.
Hover definitions let you preview terms within AI responses, and new color-coded snippets improve code readability.
Our thoughts: As the gateway of information for billions, the search giant might just hold the ultimate key to unlocking true mass adoption. You can test these new features through Google Search Labs.

AI TRAINING
Want AI to generate content in your unique voice? Follow these easy steps to fine-tune ChatGPT's style to match your own:
Step 1: Access ChatGPT and provide samples of your writing. The more examples you provide, the better ChatGPT will be able to replicate your voice.
Step 2: Ask ChatGPT to analyze your content. Prompt: "Based on this sample, describe the unique elements of my writing style.”
Step 3: From here, instruct ChatGPT to use your style for future content creation. Prompt: "Using the style guide provided, draft an article about [subject] in the writing style and tone of the provided examples."
By teaching ChatGPT your writing style, you can churn out those emails faster than ever before.
Note: It won’t always be perfect, ChatGPT often will produce bulky text. Remember to review, trim, and edit as needed!
