Los coches eléctricos suponen ahora más de una de cada cinco nuevas matriculaciones, mientras Toyota lidera el mercado general
La IA está transformando nuestro mundo. Aceptar una supervisión independiente es lo mínimo que las empresas pueden hacer para proteger nuestros derechos. La velocidad con la que la IA está transformando nuestras vidas es vertiginosa. A diferencia de revoluciones tecnológicas anteriores (la radio, la fisión nuclear o Internet), los gobiernos no están marcando el camino. Sabemos que la IA puede ser peligrosa; Los chatbots aconsejan a los adolescentes sobre el suicidio y es posible que pronto sean capaces de instruirlos sobre cómo crear armas biológicas. Sin embargo, no existe un equivalente a que la Administración Federal de Medicamentos pruebe la seguridad de nuevos modelos antes de su lanzamiento al público. A diferencia de la industria nuclear, las empresas a menudo no tienen que revelar infracciones o accidentes peligrosos. El poder de lobby de la industria tecnológica, la polarización paralizante de Washington y la enorme complejidad de una tecnología tan potente y de rápido movimiento han mantenido a raya la regulación federal. Los funcionarios europeos se enfrentan a una reacción contra normas que, según algunos, obstaculizan la competitividad del continente. Aunque varios estados de EE. UU. están poniendo a prueba leyes de inteligencia artificial, funcionan en forma de mosaico provisional y Donald Trump ha intentado invalidarlas. Los jefes de plataformas de inteligencia artificial como ChatGPT de OpenAI y Gemini de Google dicen que se preocupan por la seguridad. Pero ser dueño del futuro de la IA significa invertir miles de millones en modelos que ni siquiera sus creadores entienden del todo, y tomar decisiones como agregar anuncios –y las capacidades que el Pentágono ahora busca de Anthropic– que aumentan el riesgo. Anthropic, que se autodenomina como la empresa de inteligencia artificial de vanguardia más concienzuda, dice que su modelo está entrenado para "imaginar cómo un empleado senior reflexivo de Anthropic" sopesaría la utilidad frente a posibles daños. La directiva se hace eco de las críticas formuladas hace años a las empresas de Silicon Valley que moldearon las vidas de los usuarios de todo el mundo desde salas de juntas aisladas. Los consumidores no creen que estén en buenas manos. El 77% de los estadounidenses encuestados el año pasado cree que la IA podría representar una amenaza para la humanidad. Continuar leyendo...

La realidad se está desvaneciendo ante nuestros ojos. La suplantación de identidad solo contra adultos mayores se multiplicó por 8 entre 2020 y 2024, impulsada en parte por suplantaciones convincentes de amigos y seres queridos por parte de la IA. Es un problema que le cuesta a la gente en Estados Unidos casi 500 millones de dólares al año y no tiene fin a la vista. Es por eso que un par de estudios de diseño se unieron para crear una solución provocativa que comienza con un apretón de manos en la vida real. Llamado Quartz, es un anillo que agrega amigos a su red literalmente estrechando manos. Y a partir de ahí, controla sus comunicaciones en línea demostrando que está vivo, que conoce a la persona con la que está hablando y que demuestra su procedencia a través de canales cifrados. Si alguna de estas comprobaciones falla, todo, desde mensajes de texto hasta mensajes directos de Instagram, se cortará para evitar la suplantación de identidad. El proyecto especulativo fue desarrollado por los estudios de diseño Modem y Retinaa. Pero si bien es puramente un concepto, las ideas ofrecen una especie de modelo que parece factible para la producción. [Fotos: Quartz]Cómo funciona QuartzTodo comienza con un anillo, encajado con un trozo de cuarzo. Ese cuarzo es exclusivo de su anillo, con geometrías que se transponen directamente a un certificado blockchain vinculado a su joyería específica. El anillo también está cargado con un escáner de venas, que puede ver debajo de la piel para medir sus vasos sanguíneos únicos. Este escaneo se convierte en una imagen verificable de usted, similar a FaceID. Mientras tanto, la medición integrada del pulso garantiza que usted esté en condiciones de vivir y respirar cada vez que se verifique su identidad. Cuando conoce a alguien por primera vez, le da la mano y, a través de NFC, su anillo y el de él generan una clave criptográfica "secreta compartida". Esa clave se convierte en la base de todas sus comunicaciones futuras. Si alguna pieza falla, los canales de comunicación se apagan. Naturalmente, toda esta fricción limita la cantidad de personas que podrían estar en su propia red Quartz, lo que reintroduce barreras físicas a la amistad que han sido más o menos borradas en el mundo moderno. En última instancia, no todos los amigos de tu página de Instagram o TikTok podrían formar parte de esta red. Pero eso es también lo que te permite proteger tan estrechamente tus relaciones más preciadas. [Foto: Quartz] ¿Distopía o utopía? Ahora, todavía hay algo. . . ¿hacia atrás? . . ¿misterioso? . . ¿deprimente? sobre el uso de una serie de tecnologías digitales para verificar nuestras relaciones en la vida real. Pero esa paradoja es intencionada, según Scott Kooken, director de investigación y diseño de Modem. "Mientras que la mayoría de los sistemas de identidad en línea se construyen a partir de matemáticas abstractas y flujos de datos invisibles, Quartz reintroduce algo físico y humano", escribe por correo electrónico. "La presencia física es una capa fundamental del conjunto de seguridad. Sin ella, el sistema se desmorona. En un mundo donde todo lo demás se puede sintetizar, eso es precisamente lo que la convierte en la capa más valiosa de todas. El apretón de manos no es simbólico: es parte de la arquitectura". De hecho, con Quartz, la seguridad es el diseño, que es la cultura; su seguridad se basa en un ritual humano que gestiona tanto la UX natural del anillo como su capa criptográfica invisible. Para ver lo que quiero decir con esto, compare Quartz con el escáner de globo ocular del tamaño de una pelota de voleibol propuesto por Tools for Humanity de Sam Altman. Este objeto tiene en gran medida la misma función que Quartz: escanear los datos biométricos de alguien para demostrar que es quien dice ser. Pero este escáner ocular está completamente divorciado de los rituales y las relaciones interpersonales del mundo real; toda la idea parece sacada de una película de James Cameron de la década de 1990, o quizás de una cámara web Logitech de mediados de los años. En este momento, con la IA destruyendo más o menos todo lo relacionado con nuestras vidas digitales, tenemos la más estrecha de las ventanas para reimaginar lo que hicimos mal en nuestro primer intento por Internet y las tecnologías móviles. Podemos decidir si queremos vivir en una sociedad llena de apretones de manos o escaneos de iris. ¿Pero lo haremos? Ja ja. No. Probablemente no lo haremos. Simplemente conecte TikTok a mi marcapasos y déjelo listo.

(NASDAQ:RDNT), a national leader in providing high-quality, cost-effective, fixed-site outpatient diagnostic imaging services through a network of 418 owned and/or operated outpatient imaging centers, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2025.Dr. Howard Berger, President and Chief Executive Officer of RadNet, commented, "I am very pleased with the fourth quarter performance. Relative to last year's fourth quarter, Total Company Revenue increased 14.8% and Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased 16.9%, resulting in margin improvement of 29 basis points. This performance was driven by strong aggregate and same center procedural growth, combined with a continued focus on driving operating and clinical efficiencies within the Imaging Center segment. These factors, amongst others, contributed to RadNet exceeding 2025 Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA(1) guidance levels in the Imaging Center segment, which had been amended upwards throughout the year."Dr. Berger continued, "During the fourth quarter, we continued to experience increasing demand for our services in virtually all core markets, and operations teams were focused on improving patient-throughput and driving capacity at existing centers. In particular, disproportionately higher demand for advanced imaging continues to benefit our procedure mix, evidenced by a 178 basis point increase in MR, CT and PET/CT as a percentage of our overall procedure volume when compared with the fourth quarter of last year. At the same time, during the fourth quarter and throughout 2025, significant investments were made to open new centers and complete tuck-in acquisitions within virtually all core RadNet markets. RadNet centers continue to implement DeepHealth technology solutions to drive efficiencies, lower costs and automate manual processes. This includes the comprehensive roll-out of TechliveTM, See-Mode and other clinical and workflow tools designed to increase productivity, create capacity and decrease exposure to the challenging labor market. In the coming quarters, as we continue to implement many of these solutions internally, we will have the opportunity to demonstrate the power of improved automation and more advanced clinical and operational capabilities, which we believe will lead to more favorable patient care and health outcomes, improved service levels to referring physicians, further alignment with health system partners and closer relationships with insurance plans and other payors.""Moving into 2026, RadNet is well-positioned to accelerate growth within Digital Health. With the addition of products resulting from this morning's acquisition of Gleamer in Paris, France, the Digital Health division now includes what we believe to be the most comprehensive and broad collection of clinical AI solutions of any company worldwide. This will have broad implications for the performance of RadNet's core Imaging Center business, the businesses of the over 2,700 current Digital Health customers and future customers throughout the diagnostic imaging industry. The diagnostic imaging industry will transform in the coming years as a result of an industry-wide adoption of the kind of AI-powered workflow and clinical tools that RadNet is acquiring, developing, utilizing and commercializing. We intend to continue to develop and bring-to-market solutions that address the critical challenges the industry faces, including labor shortages, capacity constraints and the inability of radiologists to keep pace with growing industry volumes, all in an effort to improve patient care and outcomes," concluded Dr. Berger.Financial ResultsFourth Quarter Report:For the fourth quarter of 2025, RadNet reported Total Company Revenue of $547.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $87.7 million.

As a result, our guidance implies 2026 Revenue to grow 17%-19%, Adjusted EBITDA(1) to grow 18%-22% and Free Cash Flow(2) to grow 29%-41% as compared with 2025 full year performance. We are anticipating this strong growth despite headwinds embedded in the guidance levels from projected increases in same-center labor costs as well as the recent impact of severe winter weather conditions experienced in January and February."Digital Health Segment 2026Guidance Range Total Net Revenue(a)$135 - $145 million Adjusted EBITDA(1) Before Non-Capitalized R&D(b)$10 - $12 million Non-Capitalized R&D$17 - $19 million Capital Expenditures$9 - $12 million Free Cash Flow(2) Before Non-Capitalized R&D - DeepHealth Cloud OS & Generative AI$(1) - $3 million Free Cash Flow(2) After Non-Capitalized R&D - DeepHealth Cloud OS & Generative AI$(17) - $(19) million (a) Includes approximately $16 million of Revenue as a result of the acquisition of Gleamer SAS announced this morning.(b) Includes a loss of approximately $5 million of Adjusted EBITDA(1) Before Non-Capitalized R&D as a result of the acquisition of Gleamer SAS announced this morning."Within the Digital Health segment, 2026 growth will be driven by sales of the DeepHealth portfolio of AI-powered workflow and clinical solutions and related products such as TechLiveTM and further contribution from the acquisitions of iCAD, See-Mode, CIMAR and Gleamer. We are anticipating a minimum of four FDA clearances during 2026, further advancing our leadership in radiology clinical AI solutions in the areas of mammography, lung, prostate, thyroid, brain and, with this morning's announced acquisition of Gleamer, the musculoskeletal system. In 2026, significant infrastructure investments will continue to be made in building sales, marketing and implementation teams to support future growth. Despite the continued focus it takes to invest in building the infrastructure of the business, 2026 Digital Health guidance implies growth of Revenue between 45% and 55% from 2025 full-year performance. We anticipate ARR at December 31, 2026 to approach or exceed $140 million. Furthermore, we expect that the proportion of Digital Health's Revenue coming from RadNet's Imaging Center segment will decline from approximately 45% in 2025 to about 33% in 2026," concluded Dr. Berger.Conference Call TodayDr. Howard Berger, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Mark Stolper, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, will host a conference call today, March 2nd, at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time.
