Elsevier Introduces Evaluation Framework for AI in Clinical Tools

Elsevier has introduced a new evaluation framework for assessing the performance and safety of generative AI-powered clinical reference tools, announced in a press release. This framework is designed to evaluate AI-generated responses across five critical dimensions: query comprehension, response helpfulness, correctness, completeness, and potential for clinical harm.

The framework, which will be featured in an upcoming issue of the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association (JAMIA), aims to ensure that AI tools provide accurate and relevant information to healthcare professionals. Initial evaluations of Elsevier's ClinicalKey AI showed high accuracy, with 94.4% of responses rated as helpful and 95.5% assessed as completely correct.

Elsevier's initiative represents a significant step in the responsible integration of AI technologies in healthcare, setting a new standard for AI deployment in clinical settings. The company is also actively contributing to industry-wide standards for responsible AI use through its partnership with the Coalition for Health AI.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
