Sleep data analysis can now predict over 130 illnesses, thanks to Stanford University's new AI, SleepFM. The open-source model uses polysomnography (PSG), the established method for sleep analysis.

NVIDIA also launched an open-source automatic speech recognition system for immediate voice applications.
