The Rundown: Zoom just launched AI Companion, an AI assistant embedded across its platform to increase productivity — at no extra cost for paid users.
Key points:
AI Companion will assist users in composing chat responses, generating automatic meeting summaries, email messages, smart recordings, and more.
Zoom's approach accommodates various generative AI models, including its own large language model, Meta Llama 2, OpenAI, and Anthropic.
More capabilities are coming this Fall for scheduling and task management.
Why it matters: Baking integrations into widely used platforms is a great way to onboard the masses to AI. Especially when automating tasks that most employees dread — which is an arena where Zoom can be the perfect trojan horse.

AI MEDICAL BREAKTHROUGHS

The Rundown: Hearing aid makers are reportedly leveraging AI to create smart devices that make hearing aids more valuable and appealing, especially for younger users.
The details:
AI powers features such as speech clarity, fall alerts, and translation and can act as a personal assistant with music and phone capabilities.
The tech aims to reduce stigma and get people help sooner — particularly for the younger generation, with reportedly 1 in 7 teenagers suffering from hearing loss.
The AI hearing aids are seen as giving users “superpowers” beyond just hearing help and can automatically adapt to environments and situations.
Our thoughts: The introduction of AI into hearing aids could be a game-changer, reducing the stigma and extending their use to a younger market. Transforming hearing aids from a healthcare tool to a versatile piece of AI tech can add significant appeal and user-friendliness.
