🎥 The AI Revolution is Underhyped | Eric Schmidt
Video Description: “The arrival of non-human intelligence is a very big deal, says former Google CEO and chairman Eric Schmidt. In a wide-ranging interview with technologist Bilawal Sidhu, Schmidt makes the case that AI is wildly underhyped, as near-constant breakthroughs give rise to systems capable of doing even the most complex tasks on their own. He explores the staggering opportunities, sobering challenges and urgent risks of AI, showing why everyone will need to engage with this technology in order to remain relevant.”

⚡ Live Panel: From Vision to Reality: Implementing Voice AI Agents for CX
Live Panel: From Vision to Reality: Implementing Voice AI Agents for CX - According to the 2025 State of Voice AI Report, 52% of organizations see customer service automation as voice AI's most transformative use case, yet only 15% are actively developing voice AI agents. Join Opus Research, Cognigy, and Deepgram as we explore how forward-thinking organizations are implementing sophisticated agentic capabilities, overcoming barriers to adoption, and tailoring voice AI to specific industry needs.

🔍 Vision-Language Models Can Help Doctors Reason Through X-Rays and how GAN Inversion Can Fix Images
MedVLM-R1: Incentivizing Medical Reasoning Capability of Vision-Language Models (VLMs) via Reinforcement Learning - Although Medical Visual Language Models (VLMs) show promise for radiological tasks, most existing VLMs merely produce final answers without revealing the underlying reasoning. To address this gap, this paper introduces MedVLM-R1, a medical VLM that explicitly generates natural language reasoning to enhance transparency and trustworthiness.
High-Fidelity Image Inpainting with Multimodal Guided GAN Inversion- Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) inversion have demonstrated excellent performance in image inpainting that aims to restore lost or damaged image texture using its unmasked content. This paper proposes a novel GAN inversion approach, dubbed MMInvertFill, for image inpainting.
