People usually strive to be their true, authentic selves, but this fall, five master’s students at Cornell Tech adopted not only alter egos but also “bad intent,” in an effort to make AI safer for health workers serving people with diabetes.

Doctoral student’s system eases patient-discharge process
Every day, millions of people are discharged after extended hospital stays, but matching these patients with appropriate care facilities can be arduous, often reliant on months-old, inaccurate data.
Now, a text message-based, hybrid computer-human system that regularly updates both patients’ and care facilities’ availability statuses, developed by a Cornell doctoral student, is smoothing that time-consuming process. The system was tested at a hospital in Hawaii for 14 months, beginning in early 2022, and helped place nearly 50 patients in care facilities.
Balancing the promise of health AI with its carbon costs
The health care industry is increasingly relying on AI – in responding to patient queries, for example – and a new Cornell study shows how decision-makers can use real-world data to build sustainability into new systems.
Empire AI: Cornell call for compute resource proposals
Empire AI is now soliciting proposals from Cornell faculty and researchers to use the extended “Alpha” machine with 144 H100 GPUs, as well as the new “Beta” machine that is expected to come online in December.
