Mediation and the Supreme Court
March 20, 2017
I wonder whether anyone noticed the mention of mediation last week during oral arguments before the Supreme Court in the case of Kindred Nursing Centers v. Clark. The question in this case is whether the FAA preempts a state-law contract rule (here, Kentucky’s rule) that singles out arbitration by requiring a power of attorney to expressly refer to arbitration agreements before the attorney-in-fact can bind her principal to an arbitration agreement. It doesn’t seem as though this question...

Assisting Pathologists in Detecting Cancer with Deep Learning
March 19, 2017
A pathologist’s report after reviewing a patient’s biological tissue samples is often the gold standard in the diagnosis of many diseases. For cancer in particular, a pathologist’s diagnosis has a profound impact on a patient’s therapy. The reviewing of pathology slides is a very complex task, requiring years of training to gain the expertise and experience to do well. Even with this extensive training, there can be substantial variability in the diagnoses given by different pathologists...

The Real Difference Between Google And Apple
March 19, 2017
Google and Apple are both hyper-successful companies, but chart their patents, and they have completely different innovation signatures. It’s a telling statistic about how Apple and Google operate differently. Apple is driven largely by a centralized development structure, stemming from its fabled design studio, whereas Google has a more distributed, open-source approach to new products. And to get a real picture of how this plays out organizationally, the Portland-based data visualization studio...

She spoke Monday with Alex Gorsky, CEO of health care conglomerate Johnson & Johnson, in a South by Southwest discussion moderated by Clay Johnston, dean of Dell Medical School at the University of Texas...

The Incredible Inventions of Intuitive AI
March 18, 2017
What do you get when you give a design tool a digital nervous system? Computers that improve our ability to think and imagine, and robotic systems that come up with (and build) radical new designs for bridges, cars, drones and much more — all by themselves. Take a tour of the Augmented Age with futurist Maurice Conti and preview a time when robots and humans will work side-by-side to accomplish things neither could do alone.

Also, this JV is focused on creating just one standalone legal AI business and is not seeking to support start-ups in general or seeking to be an incubator or accelerator to other legal tech businesses.
