    1. A 2023 lawsuit against Amazon, in which the government accused the company of squeezing the small merchants using its platform, is not scheduled for trial until 2027. The government also sued Apple last year, accusing it of making it difficult for users to leave its ecosystem of devices. A trial date has not been set.

      These trials being so far from the lawsuits or not actually being schedule gives these dominant companies the opportunity to shape markets and consumer behavior. It amazes me that these trials are being taken care of this way, especially with the government looking at it.

    1. Some names appear highlighted in red, an alert that a player’s workload or movement patterns may put him at higher risk for injury. Trainers and sports scientists huddle, comparing the data with what they have seen on the field.

      As an athlete myself I understand that sometimes there is injuries that seem to come out of no where or not go away. Having a technology that lets trainers know you have been over working or are at a higher risk for injury is game changing.

    1. The tool has since analyzed more than 180,000 abdominal or chest CTs, helping doctors detect about two dozen cases of pancreatic cancer, 14 of which were in the early stage, Dr. Zhu said. The tool found 20 cases of ductal adenocarcinoma, the most common and deadliest type of pancreatic cancer. (Mr. Qiu had a neuroendocrine tumor, which is a rarer and less aggressive cancer.)

      It amazes me how efficient the technology we have developed can really be. This machine provides real results helping numerous individuals and even discovering the most common and deadliest type of pancreatic cancer in some. The continuous evolution of these tools is something I believe may always interest and wow me.

    1. For some cases, the F.D.A. officials proposed speeding major drug approvals by requiring only one major study in patients rather than two, a practice the agency has used in recent years. The pandemic provided a precedent, they said, for accelerating the process.

      I found this very interesting because I feel like there may be some moral dilemma with the requirement being reduced. With that being said I also understand that the goal of that is to speed up approvals which ultimately makes the public safer. It interests me to think about how A.I. being integrated into such studies will impact the public.
