A new study out of Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess suggests AI models may match—or even outperform—physicians in certain emergency room diagnostic scenarios. In one test, an AI model reached accurate or near-accurate diagnoses in 67% of triage cases, compared to 55% and 50% for two physicians—raising real questions about AI as a clinical decision support tool.  Meanwhile, the AI builder ecosystem is signaling where things are headed next. A new call for speakers at the AI Engineer World’s Fair highlights growing focus on memory, world models, agentic commerce, and vertical AI—pointing to a shift away from chatbots toward systems that act, transact, and integrate into real workflows.In research, a new Scientific Reports paper evaluates how well AI chatbots handle concussion health advice. Retrieval-augmented systems performed best on factual quality, but all models struggled with transparency and readability—highlighting a key gap for real-world deployment in healthcare.In the headlines: legal challenges emerge in lawsuits against OpenAI tied to a school shooting, and a look at a lightweight AI-built developer tool created entirely from a phone.SourcesHarvard / ER Diagnosis Study (via TechCrunch) https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/03/in-harvard-study-ai-offered-more-accurate-diagnoses-than-emergency-room-doctors/AI Engineer World’s Fair (Latent Space) https://www.latent.space/p/ainews-ai-engineer-worlds-fair-autoresearchScientific Reports – AI Chatbots for Concussion Advice https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-026-51281-9CBC – OpenAI Lawsuit Coverage https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/tumbler-ridge-lawsuit-shooting-9.7184662Simon Willison – iNaturalist Tool https://simonwillison.net/2026/May/1/inat-sightings/#atom-everything

OpenAI is making a major push to build the physical backbone of the AI era. The company says it has already secured 10 gigawatts of U.S. compute capacity by 2029 and added more than 3 gigawatts in the last 90 days—signaling that infrastructure, not just models, is becoming the key battleground in AI.  At the same time, access to the most powerful capabilities is tightening. OpenAI is rolling out GPT-5.5 Cyber to a limited group of vetted cybersecurity professionals, highlighting the growing tension between openness and misuse risk.In research, we look at a new approach to evaluating text-to-SQL systems in production. The proposed framework aims to solve a real problem for builders: how to measure whether AI systems are still working correctly when you don’t have perfect ground truth.And in today’s headline: Google and Kaggle bring back their free AI Agents Intensive course, focused on hands-on agent workflows and “vibe coding,” starting June 15.Sources:OpenAI – Building the compute infrastructure for the Intelligence Age https://openai.com/index/building-the-compute-infrastructure-for-the-intelligence-ageTechCrunch – OpenAI restricts access to GPT-5.5 Cyber https://techcrunch.com/2026/04/30/after-dissing-anthropic-for-limiting-mythos-openai-restricts-access-to-cyber-too/arXiv – Agent-Agnostic Evaluation of SQL Accuracy in Production Text-to-SQL Systems https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.28049v1Google Blog – AI Agents Intensive Course https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/technology/developers-tools/kaggle-genai-intensive-course-vibe-coding-june-2026/
