Abridge has expanded its AI tool for nurses to over 250 health systems in the U.S. This tool helps nurses by listening to patient conversations and drafting notes that nurses review and approve, aiming to reduce paperwork and improve workflow.
Key Facts
Abridge for Nurses is an AI tool designed specifically for nursing work, helping with documentation during patient care.
The platform launched first at Mayo Clinic in 2024 and is now used in health systems including Corewell Health, Johns Hopkins Medicine, and Emory Healthcare.
A recent survey found nearly 65% of U.S. nurses use more AI tools than a year ago, but 23% use no AI in daily work.
Nurses identify trust as the main barrier to adopting AI technology in healthcare.
Abridge developed the tool slowly and involved nurses in its design to build trust and ensure it fits nursing workflows.
The tool records conversations on hospital devices and drafts notes into electronic health records, which nurses then review before finalizing.
Full adoption is gradual, with many health systems using it in limited areas or pilot phases.
Nursing leaders say that although AI use is growing, widespread use and development of these tools are still in early stages.

A U.S. appeals court struck down a rule made by the FCC that stopped discrimination in broadband internet access. The court said the FCC went beyond its legal powers by punishing actions that unintentionally hurt certain groups and by applying the rule to companies not directly providing internet service.
Key Facts
The rule was from the Biden administration and aimed to prevent discrimination based on race, income, or other protected characteristics in broadband services.
The 8th Circuit Court ruled the FCC overstepped its authority by targeting “disparate impact” (unintentional harm) instead of only “disparate treatment” (intentional harm).
The ruling also said the FCC could not apply the rule to entities like landlords who don’t offer internet service directly.
The court decision was unanimous and made by judges appointed by Republican presidents.
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr supported the court’s decision, claiming the rules would have forced discrimination, though he did not explain how.
Advocacy groups opposed the decision, saying it removes protections against slow or expensive internet in low-income and minority communities.
The rule allowed consumers to file complaints if they believed broadband companies or others were discriminating based on protected factors.
Telecom and cable industry groups, along with state lobbyists and housing groups, challenged the rule in court.

The Trump administration has agreed to work with Google DeepMind, Microsoft, and xAI to perform government safety checks on their new AI models before and after release. This marks a change from President Trump’s earlier rejection of Biden-era AI safety policies, prompted by concerns over the risks posed by advanced AI systems.
Key Facts
The Trump administration signed agreements with Google DeepMind, Microsoft, and xAI for AI safety testing.
Previously, President Trump had dismissed the need for voluntary AI safety checks and renamed the US AI Safety Institute to remove “safety” from its name.
Anthropic delayed releasing its advanced AI model called Claude Mythos due to fears it could be misused.
The Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI) will conduct tests on AI models, sometimes with reduced safeguards to assess risks better.
A task force of experts from various government agencies has been formed to focus on AI national security concerns.
Some companies, like Google DeepMind and Microsoft, support the government’s AI safety testing plans.
Critics worry CAISI might not have enough resources or expertise and that voluntary agreements may fail to provide enough transparency.
There is concern that political bias in AI evaluations could reduce public trust and discourage companies from cooperating.

Google’s DeepMind has taken a minority stake in Fenris Creations, the new independent developer of the popular sci-fi game EVE Online. They plan to use the game to test and improve artificial intelligence models in a complex, player-driven virtual world without affecting actual players. Fenris Creations recently bought itself out from its former owner Pearl Abyss and will continue developing EVE Online and new projects.
Key Facts
DeepMind has a minority ownership in Fenris Creations, the new name for the EVE Online developer.

DeepMind will run AI tests in a separate offline version of EVE Online to avoid disturbing real players.
Fenris Creations paid $120 million to become independent from South Korean publisher Pearl Abyss.
Pearl Abyss originally bought the EVE Online maker for $225 million six years ago, so the new sale reflects a lower company value.
Fenris Creations showed losses of about $20 million in 2023 and 2024 but became profitable in 2025 with $70 million in revenue.
The company plans to focus on new long-term projects, including blockchain and shooter spinoffs of EVE Online.
DeepMind has used games before to develop AI, including Go, StarCraft, and Atari games.
