Swallowable AI Robot Examine your Body with Cameras, Sensors

The Summary: Endiatx, a medical tech startup, has created PillBot, a swallowable robotic pill for medical exams. The device, measuring 13mm by 30mm, contains cameras, sensors, and tiny propellers. It transmits high-res video and can be used without sedation. Endiatx aim for FDA approval and commercial launch by early 2026, possibly for at-home use. The company envisions AI-guided autonomous PillBots that could perform surgical procedures.

Key details:

• Measures 13mm by 30mm

• Uses tiny propellers for controlled navigation

• Transmits real-time video

• Replaces endoscopy

• Clinical trials are underway at a leading U.S. medical institution

Why it matters: PillBot could transform gastroenterology by making internal exams more accessible, convenient, and cost-effective. The potential for at-home use without sedation could significantly increase screening rates and early therapy. The integration of AI could allow for autonomous diagnosis. Future surgical robots could enable minimally invasive treatments, potentially revolutionizing internal medicine and surgical procedures.

City Report: AI Set to Change Banking

The Summary: A new Citi report shows that AI will profoundly transform the banking industry, by automating routine tasks and making operations more efficient. This change is expected to impact more roles in banking than in any other sector. Despite the challenges, AI offers opportunities for innovation, better customer service, and creating new roles in the industry.

Key details:

• AI could increase banking profits by $170 billion by 2028

• AI is expected to automate routine tasks and change roles

• AI could replace more jobs in banking than in any other sector, with 54% of jobs having high automation potential

• New roles will appear such as AI managers and compliance officers

• Finding AI-skilled workers is a major challenge for adoption

• Training programs will be needed for employees

Why it matters: The adoption of AI in banking will lead to important changes in the industry. It promises to boost productivity and profits but also brings challenges. It could give an edge to tech-savvy firms and push traditional banks to adapt. It may improve customer services but it raises concerns about jobs displacement. Training programs will be required to help employees move into new roles.
