Where are all those industry changing AI products?
I have been following the current summer of AI, and the progress made in a few years in breathtaking (at least to me). We have open sources models like SAM, and the recent SAM 2 under Apache License, and the Qwen models, Llama etc etc. It has been a few years now and there seems to be a lot of potential for these technologies. You can speculate at how they're going to change various industries, but where are those products?
It feels like the current technology is more of empowering the knowledge worker but than a drop-in replacement, hence the copilot for everything. If you know of some interesting things happening around the current AI tech, I am all ears.
First tooth "repair" done autonomous by a robot. It's been here on HN. the mouth has been scanned and mapped by the robot. the robot uses light instead of x-ray, reducing the overall x-ray exposure of tissue. with light they also can see the cavities & nerves. The doctors decide what to do and the the robot started to that sound, to drill the tooth off. Even when the patient was moving with the head, the Roboter did a precise job
It's already changing the translation industry by letting people handle things in another language by themselves. It's fantastic for immigrants and language learners.
