Y Combinator, "MRI 기술 혁신... 암 사망률 크게 감소"

Y Combinator, one of the world's most renowned venture capital firms, has called for innovations in MRI technology to end cancer in its recently released Request for Startups (RFS). Emphasizing early detection as the key to cancer treatment, YC argued that advances in MRI technology could significantly reduce cancer mortality. "The problem with current MRI technology is its high price and the number of false positives," said Surbhi Sarna, former CEO of a medical device startup, "High prices limit access to MRI scans, and false positives place an unnecessary burden on the healthcare system." Y Combinator has launched a call for startups to address these issues. Developing innovative MRI technologies to improve the accuracy of cancer diagnosis and reduce the cost of testing could lead to major advances in cancer treatment.

세계에서 가장 유명한 벤처 캐피탈 기업 중 하나인 와이 콤비네이터 (Y Combinator)는 최근 공개한 '스타트업 요청사항(RFS)'에서 암 종료를 위한 MRI 기술 혁신을 촉구했다. YC는 암 치료의 핵심으로 조기 발견을 강조하며, MRI 기술의 발전이 암 사망률을 크게 감소시킬 수 있다고 주장했다. 의료 기기 스타트업 전 CEO였던 수르비 사르나(Surbhi Sarna)는 "현재 MRI 기술의 문제점으로 높은 가격과 우발적 소견(false positive) 발생이다"라며, "높은 가격은 MRI 검사의 접근성을 제한하고, 우발적 소견은 의료 시스템에 불필요한 부담을 초래한다"고 말했다. Y Combinator는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 스타트업들의 참여를 촉구하고 나섰다. 혁신적인 MRI 기술 개발을 통해 암 진단의 정확도를 높이고, 검사 비용을 절감할 경우 암 치료에 큰 진전을 이룰 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

X, AI 훈련용 데이터 제공 허용하는 개인정보 정책 변경

Social media platform X has announced changes to its privacy policy that will allow it to provide user data to third parties for AI model training purposes. The policy, set to take effect on November 15, 2024, is expected to pave the way for external companies to purchase X's data in the form of licenses. The new policy introduces a "third-party collaborators" section, but the specific methods for users to opt out of data sharing remain unclear. This move is seen as a potential new revenue stream for X, which has experienced a decline in advertising revenue. Meanwhile, X has also strengthened penalties for 'scraping', the unauthorized collection of large numbers of tweets. The company has decided to impose a fine of $15,000 for accessing more than one million posts per day. X's owner, Elon Musk, has maintained a tough stance on scraping, and this policy change appears to reflect his attitude.
