This week’s 5 top stories you can't miss:

1?? [AI-Assistant] French AI startup Mistral launches new features for its chatbot 'Le Chat', transforming it into a comprehensive work assistant with unique capabilities that challenge industry leader OpenAI.

• Le Chat matches ChatGPT's core features with web searching, image generation, and PDF analysis, while adding powerful document and presentation design tools.
• The chatbot introduces innovative workflow automation capabilities, handling multi-step tasks like payment processing and reporting - a feature currently unavailable in ChatGPT.
• Unlike competitors chasing AI advancement "at all costs," Mistral focuses on delivering practical AI tools to customers while maintaining cost efficiency and profitability.

2?? [Surgery] Johns Hopkins University achieves a breakthrough in surgical robotics by teaching a robot to perform complex medical procedures simply by watching videos of human surgeons, potentially revolutionizing how surgical robots learn and adapt.

• The da Vinci Surgical System successfully learned critical tasks like suturing and needle manipulation through hundreds of surgical videos, performing them at human-level skill.
• The system combines ChatGPT-style architecture with kinematics to translate surgical movements into mathematical instructions, effectively teaching robots to "speak surgery."
• The robot demonstrated unexpected adaptability by performing unplanned tasks, suggesting this video learning approach could transform surgical robotics similar to how LLMs revolutionized AI.

3??[Memory] Google introduces a memory feature for its chatbot Gemini, allowing it to remember user preferences and interests to provide more personalized responses, marking a significant step in AI personalization alongside competitors like OpenAI and Microsoft.

• Gemini users can now save their interests and preferences, which the AI will use for tailored responses without requiring repeated information sharing.
• The feature is exclusively available in English for Google One AI Premium subscribers, with Google assuring that stored information won't be used for AI training.
• While this matches similar features from ChatGPT and Microsoft's Copilot, security concerns exist as researchers have demonstrated vulnerabilities in AI memory systems.

4?? [Expertise] Three innovative companies demonstrate how modern AI systems can effectively capture and use human expertise, showing promising ways to enhance business efficiency and decision-making while complementing human capabilities.

• A German venture capital firm's AI system accurately screens startup applications, reducing junior analysts' workload and speeding up investment assessments.
• An Indian data company created AI "analysis avatars" by copying their best specialists' methods, enabling them to handle more customer requests efficiently.
• An Australian R&D company uses AI agents with specific expertise to help employees solve problems from different angles, providing instant access to specialized knowledge.

5?? [Recruitment] LinkedIn introduces an AI Hiring Assistant that leverages its vast database and OpenAI's technology to revolutionize recruitment, streamlining the hiring process while keeping crucial decisions in human hands.

• The AI tool creates detailed job descriptions and matches candidates based on skills and experience, going beyond simple keyword matching.
• Major companies like AMD, Canva, and Siemens are testing the system, which accesses data from 1 billion users and 68 million companies.
• The platform plans to expand features to include interview scheduling and candidate follow-ups, letting recruiters focus on strategic tasks.
