Digital@UNGA 2025 spotlights digital solutions, innovations and investments for humanity as the United Nations marks 80 years.
MIT researchers developed an interactive, AI-based system that enables users to rapidly annotate areas of interest in new biomedical imaging datasets, without training a machine-learning model in advance. As the user uploads new images, the number of interactions needed to accurately segment the image drops, eventually to zero, enabling rapid annotation of the entire dataset.
Researchers from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and the Southern University of Science and Technology have developed a novel deep learning neural network, Electrode Net. By introducing signed distance fields and three-dimensional convolutional neural networks, this method can significantly accelerate electrode design while maintaining high accuracy. It is widely applicable to fuel cells, water electrolyzers, flow batteries, etc.
Delta.g has raised £4.6M to commercialise the world’s first field-tested quantum sensor enabling real-time spatial intelligence. The funding will enable Delta.g to deliver field systems through pilot deployments across key industry and government partners, including the UK Department for Transport.
