Microsoft Copilot upgrades, OpenAI and Broadcom chip plans, MIT object localization breakthrough, Lapsi Health FDA clearance, and U.S. AI court updates

Hi Friends!

This week is a good snapshot of where AI is headed for business right now. We have product upgrades, real infrastructure bets, a sharp research-to-ops idea from MIT, and a healthcare device that could save clinicians time. I’m closing with a short legal watch so your plans stay aligned with U.S. rules and courts.

Let’s jump in.

This week’s insights

Microsoft rolls out new Copilot upgrades in Windows 11

Microsoft announced voice activation for Copilot, broader Copilot Vision availability, and early “Copilot Actions” that can handle real-world tasks like reservations with user permission. These updates are aimed at improving everyday workflows directly on the desktop and be more competitive with features on ChatGPT with keep users using both and have kept Copilot adoption slow.

  • Why it matters for business: Faster task handling inside the operating system means less app-juggling and smoother execution for admin, scheduling, and research-heavy roles. Get your team to actually use Copilot in their workspace.
  • My take: Test out these features and verify the outputs, as usual. Microsoft has been overpromising Copilot abilities and underdelivering for years. So, trust but verify.

OpenAI partners with Broadcom to design custom AI chips

OpenAI is collaborating with Broadcom on AI accelerators, with deployments targeted for late next year. This move is about gaining more control over cost, performance, and the supply chain needed for scaling AI services.

  • Why it matters for business: More diversified AI silicon could ease capacity bottlenecks and stabilize pricing over time, which helps immensely with forecasting and margin planning.
  • My take: If AI is becoming core to your product, track these supply moves closely. Procurement strategies that consider multiple chip paths will age better than single-vendor plans.

From MIT: teaching generative models to find your specific object

MIT researchers introduced a training method that helps vision-language generative models reliably localize a personalized object like a particular product or even your pet in new scenes.

  • Why it matters for business: Think retail visual search, tighter quality control on assembly lines, or asset tracking in warehouses. Better personalization in computer vision can reduce manual tagging and speed up operations.
  • My take: If you are in manufacturing, watch these developments and there is tech you can implement now. Look at how you can become more efficient today and keep your eye on tomorrow.

Healthcare advance: FDA-cleared digital stethoscope with an integrated AI scribe

Lapsi Health launched Keikku 2.0, an FDA-cleared digital stethoscope that also generates clinical notes in real time. Early coverage highlights its potential for paperwork reduction and care efficiency.

  • Why it matters for business: The top time suck that I hear from my Dr. friends is charting. It’s vital for the patient and the last thing that gets completed, often even at home. This can cut documentation time and improve patient care without hiring additional staff.
  • My take: The winning pattern in clinical AI is simple: assist the clinician, do not slow them down. This can potentially help millions of patients too.

U.S. legal and policy watch: courts and agencies shaping the edges

A computer scientist has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review whether purely AI-generated works can be copyrighted, after lower courts decided that human authorship is required. The outcome could influence IP strategies for all AI-generated content.

Separately, a California attorney was fined $10,000 for submitting an appeal with fabricated AI citations, underscoring the need for verification and disclosure policies. (Maryland Daily Record)

  • Why it matters for business: Your content, product design, and legal teams need clear AI use policies, source checking, and a human-in-the-loop review process.
  • My take: Governance is now table stakes. Document what your teams generate with AI, how it is checked, and who is accountable. You can add that to your internal AI Use Policy. That paper trail will save you later.

AI Smart Lab: Open Forge AI > AI SEO (GEO, AIO) Faster, Smarter Topics (With “Do-It-For-Me” Prompts)

TL;DR: We reviewed OpenForge live and it’s our best lever for intent-led content. Clean competitor lists + use the “Do it for me” prompts to ship landing pages, comparison tables, FAQs, and case studies in minutes.

What we tested
  • OpenForge Answer Engine: Real queries with search volume + commercial intent (buyers, not just readers).
What we learned
  • OpenForge’s Get Insights → Do It For Me auto-generates full prompts (titles, schema, metadata, internal links) you can drop into ChatGPT to produce publish-ready drafts.
  • Custom Queries help us track our services (AI consulting, AI training, AI Advising) and spot gaps fast.
  • We need a simple priority plan (volume × intent × competitiveness) so we’re not picking topics at random.
Immediate actions
  1. Competitor hygiene: Remove irrelevant competitors per client (prevents data contamination).
  2. Spin assets now: Use “Do It For Me” to create a landing page or blog for 1–2 high-intent topics per account.
  3. Custom Queries to add: AI consulting vs advising vs coaching, Copilot training, AI for SMBs.

Why it matters
AI search is eating Google search’s lunch. It’s important to write in a way that AI can read your content throughout your site. You have a limited opportunity to get ahead of competitors and grab more customers!
