The AI Helping Doctors Treat Millions

Don’t you want your doctor to know the latest medical research?

That is where OpenEvidence, often called “ChatGPT for doctors,” comes in. It is quickly becoming a key player in healthcare AI, though its impact is still underreported.

  • OpenEvidence helps doctors cut through the flood of medical data by giving them instant, accurate answers supported by peer-reviewed studies and real-time patient information.

  • Today, more than 40% of US physicians rely on it and more than 100 million Americans this year will be treated by a doctor who used OpenEvidence.

The company’s AI agent DeepConsult reviews hundreds of medical studies and generates expert reports in minutes. By connecting insights across studies and linking to patient records, DeepConsult instantly helps doctors find guidelines, spot drug interactions, and identify potential diagnoses.

Investors have noticed this momentum. In July 2025, OpenEvidence raised $210 million at a $3.5 billion valuation and is already in talks for a possible $6 billion valuation.

Daniel Nadler founded OpenEvidence after losing his grandfather to a medical error, driving his mission to empower doctors with better, evidence-based tools instead of replacing them. Frankly, it’s time every company started thinking like this.

Reese Witherspoon’s Warning: Don’t Ignore AI

Reese Witherspoon in HBO’s Big Little Lies

In her recent Glamour cover story, movie star Reese Witherspoon urged women to take part in shaping artificial intelligence, calling it “so, so important” because AI will be “the future of filmmaking.”

Known for staying ahead of media shifts, she framed the technology not as a threat but as an opportunity, provided diverse voices help guide its growth.

“You can lament it all you want, but the change is here,” she said, stressing adaptation over resistance. For her, AI is a tool to enhance, not erase, human expression.

Her remarks arrive as Hollywood continues to wrestle with AI’s role.

James Cameron has suggested it could cut blockbuster budgets, while Guillermo del Toro and Scarlett Johansson have voiced strong opposition. At the same time, labor unions like SAG-AFTRA are pressing for stronger protections to guard against exploitation.

Through it all, Witherspoon remains optimistic. She argues that if women step up, AI can reflect many voices and perspectives.

ps. And remember, she sold her media company Hello Sunshine, the powerhouse behind Big Little Lies and The Morning Show, for about $900 million. So when she talks about the future of storytelling, maybe we should listen up. 😎 I’m a fan!

Will Smith's AI Concert: Brilliant or Deceptive?

Will Smith’s tour just got an AI twist that spiraled into a PR nightmare, leaving fans divided.

Last week, fans noticed something strange in clips from his “Based on a True Story” tour. Signs were garbled, faces were warped, and the energy didn’t match the real-life footage from the show. People quickly guessed AI had been used to fake an enthusiastic audience.

Some fans say it’s fine that an artist is experimenting creatively with AI, while others feel it’s deceptive and misleading. What’s your take?

AI Tribulations

In Japan, media giants Nikkei and Asahi Shimbun are suing AI startup Perplexity for copying and storing their articles without permission and even misattributing false information to them. The lawsuit seeks about $15M in damages and demands Perplexity remove any stored content.

In the US, Tesla is pushing back against a $243M jury verdict over a fatal 2019 crash involving its Autopilot system. The company claims the driver (who admitted to being distracted) was mainly responsible and wants the ruling overturned or a new trial. The victims’ lawyers argue Tesla misled consumers about Autopilot’s abilities.

In Brazil, hackers broke into fintech provider Sinqia and tried to steal about $77M through the country’s instant-payments system, Pix. Most of the attack targeted the HSBC Bank, but regulators managed to block the bulk of it. Both HSBC and Sinqia confirmed the breach, stressing that no customer accounts were touched.
